The Egyptian actor and singer doesn't just hit the high notes— he hits the style notes too.
If you grew up in the early 2000s, you know Khaled Selim. Whether it was his smooth voice on 'Ana Habet' (yes, that song) or his magnetic presence on screen, Selim has long been one of Egypt's most beloved multi-hyphenates — singer, actor, and heartthrob all rolled into one. With hit films like Sana Oula Nasb and Kan Yom Hobak, plus a steady music career that's never really stopped, the Kuwaiti-born, Egyptian actor stayed on the radar for nearly two decades.
Aside from his voice and acting chops, Selim's style evolution deserves its own spotlight. He moves effortlessly between polished tuxedos on the red carpet and sharp, relaxed tailoring off duty. Open shirts, crisp monochromes, and the occasional leather jacket moment define his look—always refined, never overdone.
Singing 'Balash El Malama' in Sana Oula Nasb | 2004
In one of his most known songs and music videos, he serves full pop prince energy in a navy fitted tee with white piping along the sleeves and collar - casual but camera-ready. Performance at International Carthage Festival | 2007
On stage and fully in his element, Selim rocks a slightly unbuttoned, figure-hugging metallic grey shirt, paired with black trousers and that easy charm. Behind the scenes of 'Kan Yom Hobak' with Dalia El Behery | 2004
Selim is casually cool in a fitted black tee with slightly flared jeans. With his famous 2000s tousled hair, he looks effortless, laid-back, and timeless. Music video of 'Galat Ahebak' | 2004
Khaled Selim doing heartbreak in a tie? Yes, please. In this iconic scene, he pairs a crisp white shirt with a navy tie worn just loose enough to signal vulnerability. The black-rimmed glasses add the intellectual vibe. Behind the scenes of 'Kan Feen' music video | 2010
Dressed in a dark fitted long sleeve and stacked bracelets, casually holding the music video's co-star and model, he strikes that perfect balance of bad boy with a soft side. Photoshoot | 2000s
This sheer, ribbed black top is giving soft masculinity before it was trending. With the subtle chest peek and beaded necklace, it's a classic heartthrob moment. Playing oud | 2000s
Nothing says 'I'm here to steal your heart and then sing about it' more than this moment. Selim sports a black V-neck and a colourful guitar strap onto his oud, in a soft, earthy look that feels like the singer in his element. Photoshoot | 2000s
This fitted taupe shirt—with its unexpected pop of mustard detailing—hugs him in all the right places. The deep V (a Selim signature) makes sure we know he's not here to play, finished with a double leather belt. Because, why wear one when you can wear two? With actress Mai Kassab | 2000s
Here, Selim flips the script on casualwear with a Superman tee layered under a brown suede jacket. Photoshoot | 2000s
In this 2000s photoshoot, Selim dons a pinstripe suit, throwing a punch of charisma (and maybe just an actual punch). The slicked-back hair and giant grin are working overtime here. Live performance | 2000s
Gone are the sharp collars and fitted blazers; this is Selim in a soft, cream henley, paired with jeans. With a relaxed, rolled sleeves, and a boy-next-door grin, he's performing in his element. Photoshoot | 2000s
In a distressed brown tee, raw edges, and a leather necklace, Selim looks casual but still cool enough to remain stylish.
