Styled Archives: MENA Celebrities Who Owned the Halter Top Look
From Cairo sets to Beirut stages, the 2000s were the halter top's era—capturing Arab cinema, music, and red-carpet glamour in one neck-tied silhouette. Aug 14, 2025 From Cairo's film sets to Dubai's music award stages, the halter neckline carved out a visible place in the 2000s Arab pop-cultural landscape. It surfaced in moments that still circulate - Mona Zaki in powder blue at the height of her engagement buzz, Nancy Ajram sweeping into the Arabian Music Awards in white with a flower at the collar, Haifa Wehbe on the Muscat Festival stage in low-rise jeans and stacked gold bangles. The cut proved adaptable: sequins and fire prints for Dolly Shahine, argyle matched with a wrap scarf for Ruby, minimal black softened with layered chains for Yousra. It shifted easily between the glamour of a Beirut award night and the casual intimacy of an on-set snapshot, carrying with it a kind of visual shorthand - when the halter appeared, the camera stayed a little longer. Mona Zaki | Cairo (2001) Fresh off her engagement announcement to Ahmed Helmy, Mona Zaki went full Y2K sweetheart in a printed blue halter layered under a sheer mesh cardi, topped with hair clips that could've walked straight out of a Teen Vogue magazine. Nancy Ajram | Dubai (2004) Channelling full Marilyn energy, Nancy Ajram floated into the Arabian Music Awards in a white halter and flowy skirt, topped with a statement flower at the collar—Hollywood glam, but make it early-2000s Dubai. Haifa Wehbe | Muscat (2006) On stage at the Muscat Festival, Haifa Wehbe paired a black halter with a pastel-orange bow detail, low-rise jeans, and enough stacked gold bangles to make a souk jealous. Casual, but still pure pop diva. Dolly Shahine | Cairo (2006) Kicking off filming for Weega, Dolly Shahine turned up in a sequined halter with a fire print to match, paired with beachy curls, razor-thin brows, and big earrings. Ruby | Al-Mansuriya (2006) On the Estoghomaya set, Ruby coordinated a halter top with a matching wrap scarf—equal parts playful preppy and unmistakably mid-2000s Cairo cool. Yousra | New York City (2007) On the Tribeca Film Festival stage, Yousra's black halter came draped with layered silver chains—a minimal silhouette made magnetic with jewellery-as-garment flair. Nicole Saba | Beirut (2007) Mid-video shoot for 'Tabaei Kida', Nicole turned a sporty jumpsuit into a halter moment—unzipped to reveal a sports bra, brown hair sleek, and pink heels adding a wink of pop-star play. Basma | Abu Dhabi (2008) At the 'Henna' screening, Basma kept it sleek and understated—satin-silk halter tucked into a black skirt, straight hair with bangs framing a quietly elegant red-carpet moment. Lebleba | Beirut (2009) Accepting her lifetime achievement award at the Murex d'Or, Lebleba went bold in a shiny blue-green floral halter with a plunging V-cut—trophy in hand, confidence on full display. Nelly Karim | Dubai (2010) At the Six, Seven, Eight premiere, Nelly Karim brought understated edge in a black halter jumpsuit with button details and styled with layered pendants.

Hope Giver campaign launches at NMEC, spreading messages of resilience and unity
In a celebration of resilience, inspiration, and human connection, the main theatre of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation (NMEC) in Al-Fustat hosted the official launch of the global Hope Giver campaign, renewing commitment to spreading messages of hope and positivity from Egypt, the cradle of civilisation, to communities worldwide. The ceremony, organised by NMEC and the Egyptian Ministry of Youth and Sports, was an opportunity for guests to learn more about the Hope Giver campaign, founded by former international tennis champion Anwar El-Kamony. El-Tayeb Abbass, CEO of NMEC, with Mona Zaki, Hany El-Behairy and other guests. Attendees joining El-Kamony to mark the occasion included former Minister of Emigration and Head of the Technical Secretariat of the National Alliance for Civil Development Nabila Makram, Turkish Ambassador to Egypt Salih Mutlu Şen, Egyptian artist Safaa Abu El-Saoud, PR expert and novelist Mona Zaki, former Egyptian National Football team player Ahmed Hassan, fashion designer Hany El-Behairy, as well as ambassadors of the Hope Giver global campaign: Jérémy de Champris in Japan, Raoudha Zarrouk in Tunisia, Manuel Collas de la Roche in France, and Claudio Alessi in Switzerland. About "Hope Giver" The Hope Giver campaign was founded as a global movement dedicated to nurturing optimism, spotlighting human potential, and empowering communities through uplifting narratives and shared experiences. The international campaign seeks to inspire individuals and foster collective action for a better future through storytelling, community-driven events, and a celebration of perseverance, kindness, and human achievement. The launch gathering served as a dynamic platform for cross-cultural dialogue, storytelling, and the exchange of ideas aimed at strengthening intercultural ties and global unity. Through emotional speeches, inclusive performances by individuals with disabilities, personal testimonials, and the screening of a campaign film, participants from diverse backgrounds came together to reflect on shared human struggles and hopes. Live discussions and informal "story circles" created space for meaningful interaction and mutual understanding. Partnerships with esteemed Egyptian institutions such as NMEC and the Ministry of Youth and Sports reflect a powerful synergy, drawing on Egypt's rich cultural legacy as a beacon of enlightenment, innovation, and hope throughout history. Addressing the attendees, El-Tayeb Abbass, CEO of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC), emphasised the museum's enduring mission to promote the humanistic and cultural values embedded in Egyptian civilisation, commenting, "This launch represents a unique opportunity not only to explore our ancient history but also to project powerful messages of hope from the heart of Egypt to the world." "Nestled in the heart of Old Cairo, NMEC is one of Egypt's most important cultural landmarks, offering visitors a rare and comprehensive journey through over thousands of years of Egyptian history—from prehistoric times to the modern era. The museum is not only home to the world-famous Royal Mummies Hall, but also serves as a vibrant centre for learning, intercultural dialogue, and global engagement. Its exhibitions, educational programming, and public initiatives have made it a beloved institution for Egyptians and international visitors alike," he added. "As part of an ongoing journey, the Hope Giver launch is expected to inspire young people and future generations, showcasing how hope can serve as a powerful catalyst for building brighter, more inclusive futures," said El-Kamony. Turkish Ambassador Salih Mutlu Şen, former minister of Emigration Nabila Makram, with global Hope Giver campaign ambassadors. At the ceremony, Turkish Ambassador Şen commented, "I follow with great interest the 'Hope Giver' campaign, organised at NMEC, inspired by extraordinary stories born from the belief that with struggle and determination, solutions and remedies can surely be achieved. I appreciate the support provided by the Egyptian civil society and private sector, under the state's encouragement, through their strong tradition of solidarity and cooperation, to individuals' efforts to regain their physical and mental well-being. I congratulate Nabila Makram for taking on the presidency of the alliance of civil society organisations aimed at solidarity and development." Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
