Redefining Glamour: Dubai's first inclusive pageant unveiled
– In a city renowned for redefining opulence alongside originality, a Dubai-based socialite and former pageant winner is preparing to break new ground with The Glam Crown – an upcoming fashion show and beauty pageant that promises more than just sparkle. Scheduled for November 15 later this year in Dubai, the event – a first-of-ots-kind platform – aims to blend glamour with grit by spotlighting diversity, confidence, and self-expression across all ages and abilities. 'This isn't just about crowns and catwalks,' says Piyali Chatterjee, crowned Mrs. Elegant UAE 2021 and founder of Artisan Beautique that's behind the event. A respected beautician, entrepreneur, and former educator of children with special needs, Chatterjee is using her platform to challenge traditional beauty norms. 'It's about showing that beauty doesn't come in one shape, shade, or size. Every woman, every child, every participant has something uniquely powerful – and beautiful – to offer.' A platform for all walks of life What sets The Glam Crown apart is its commitment to representation. The event will feature a special segment for children of determination aged as young as three to 12, giving them the chance to shine on a professional runway – complete with styling, gentle makeovers, and a magical stage experience. Adults will participate in categories such as Mr, Miss, and Mrs Glam Icon UAE, with curated designer wear, grooming sessions, ramp walk training, and wellness consultations. A parallel fashion showcase for teens and adults includes styling support and exposure to leading local photographers and influencers. The event will also welcome plus-size contestants, new mothers, and individuals who often find themselves excluded from mainstream beauty narratives. 'Dubai is a city that embraces difference,' Chatterjee notes. 'We're just reflecting that spirit on our runway.' Beyond the mirror: health, wellness, and empowerment This isn't a typical pageant. Alongside the fashion and festivities, The Glam Crown includes interactive sessions with a certified aesthetic doctor, gynaecologist, fitness coach, and professional beautician. 'These sessions aim to promote a holistic understanding of beauty – rooted in confidence, hygiene, and well-being,' says Chatterjee explaining how the fashion show for teens and adults will include personalised ramp walk training sessions, designer stage wear, styling and grooming tips from seasoned beauty experts. Meanwhile, the show for young children of determination – open to anyone between three and 12 – will be offered free of charge. 'It is a heart-warming celebration of joy and self-expression. Participants enjoy fun walk training, a gentle, skin-safe mini makeover, a designer outfit for the ramp, and a magical stage experience, complete with professional photos and delightful surprises,' adds the Indian expat who's lived in Dubai for over a decade now. With over 300 guests anticipated and growing buzz across the region, the event is set to unite emerging designers, aspiring models, and influential digital creators for an unforgettable celebration of fashion, empowerment, and community. For Chatterjee, who manages two thriving salons in the UAE and continues to mentor women in beauty and confidence, The Glam Crown is a culmination of years of experience—and a bold step forward. 'This is not just a show – it's a movement,' she says. 'If even one child of determination walks off that ramp feeling proud, or one woman finds her voice through this platform, we've done something meaningful.'

Egyptian authors slam Al Jazeera for unauthorized use of Al-Helm Al-Arabi song - Music - Arts & Culture
A dispute has broken out between Egypt's Society of Authors, Composers, and Publishers (SACERAU) on one side and Al Jazeera and its digital platform Al-Jazeera 360 on the other side, after the latter had used the famous song Al-Helm Al-Arabi (The Arab Dream) with altered lyrics. Al-Jazeera used Al-Helm Al-Arabi in the 6 June episode of its satirical programme Al-Shabaka, changing its title to: Generations After Generations Witnessing the Farce. It used the song, often called an operette, without permission, authorization, or consultation with the society or the rights holders, scriptwriter and poet Medhat El-Adl, SACERAU's head, said. El-Adl is the song's writer, to music by Helmy Bakr, directed by Ahmed El-Aryan. The song was launched in 1996, featuring 22 artists from various Arab countries. Al-Helm Al-Arabi is one of the most iconic artistic works. It expresses Arab unity and support for the Palestinian cause. In a statement, SACERAU described the action as a "blatant infringement on the intellectual and artistic rights of the national song." The society also strongly condemned what it referred to as "a crude and brazen violation of one of the most important artistic works in Arab collective memory." "What has occurred represents a flagrant violation and a complete legal and moral crime. It falls under the category of unlawful alteration of artistic works, an act that offends the moral integrity of authors and composers and distorts the original message of the work, which carried noble national and pan-Arab values," it added. The statement said the action is considered a direct and clear violation of Articles 148 and 181 in the Egyptian Law No. 82 of 2002 on the protection of intellectual property rights. Article 148 affirms that the author has the exclusive right to modify their work or authorize others to do so. Article 181 criminalizes the infringement of artistic works and stipulates civil and criminal penalties for offenders. Moreover, the society pointed to the breach of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, which Egypt is a signatory to. This convention grants authors the right to object to any distortion, mutilation, or modification of their work that would harm their honour or reputation. Accordingly, the society warned the platform's management against continuing to broadcast this infringement and demanded that all clips and videos containing this violation be immediately removed. It added that it expects a public and official apology to the SACERAU and the rights holders for this unlawful act. The society also demands an immediate halt to using any part of the song in any content related to the platform without consulting the SACERAU and obtaining the necessary licenses. Furthermore, it affirmed that it will not hesitate to take full legal action locally and internationally if this violation is repeated, including filing lawsuits for literary theft and moral defamation of a work protected by national and international laws and seeking appropriate financial and moral compensation. SACERAU The Society of Authors, Composers, and Publishers (SACERAU) was born out of the French Society of Authors, Composers, and Publishers of Music (SACEM) in 1944 to be its first Middle Eastern headquarters. SACEM is a society for the administration of artists' and performers' rights in France and Europe. It offers three main services: collecting and distributing royalties, promoting creators, and defending its members' rights. After successfully collecting musicians' royalties, the office's Egyptian authors decided to create their own entity in 1946. Egypt's SACERAU plays a similar role for its members: managing copyrights for musicians, collecting their royalties, and offering a pension programme. The two entities are still cooperating, as SACEM collects royalties for Egyptian authors abroad. The SACERAU is headed by scriptwriter and lyricist Medhat El-Adl.
