Swarovski Introduces Ramadan Collection with Actress Laila Abdallah

The luxury jeweller introduces new additions to its Idyllia and Sublima collections.
This year, Swarovski embraces the spirit of Ramadan with a collection that shines—both literally and figuratively. Available across the Middle East and online, the luxury jeweler introduces new additions to its Idyllia and Sublima collections, weaving moon symbols and ocean-inspired motifs in iridescent green and gold.
Swarovski is marking the occasion with a new campaign fronted by Lebanese actress Laila Abdallah. 'This season holds purpose and has a special place in my heart,' Abdallah tells SceneStyled. 'It is a time of reflection, gratitude, and togetherness with loved ones.'
Ramadan is a time of gilded hues, and Swarovski follows suit with its Sublima crescent pendant—a gold-finish piece scattered with pavé crystals in five sizes, reflecting the soft glow of the moon that guides fasting rituals. Meanwhile, the Idyllia collection takes a bolder approach, reimagining its signature shell shape in ombre green and pale pink zirconia, set in a fan-like formation that catches the light with every movement.
'Being able to celebrate these cherished moments with a brand that has a long history of craftsmanship feels deeply meaningful to me,' adds Abdallah.
From drop earrings and bangles to sculpted rings, the collection is designed to be mixed and matched, blending seamlessly with both vintage and modern silhouettes—whether as a gift or a personal statement.

Red Sea Film Foundation Reveals Jury for 48-Hour Film Challenge

The Red Sea Film Foundation has named the jury for its fifth 48-Hour Film Challenge, where 14 Saudi teams will vie for a filmmaking residency in France and a screening at the Red Sea Film Festival. The Red Sea Film Foundation has announced the jury for the fifth edition of its 48-Hour Film Challenge, naming Saudi presenter and actor Yasser Al Saggaf, Lebanese actress and director Carmen Bsaibes, and French-Moroccan filmmaker and actor Ayoub Layoussifi. All three are recognised for their contributions to Arab and international cinema, with experience in both directing and acting. Organised in collaboration with the Consulate General of France in Jeddah, the Embassy of France in Saudi Arabia, Alliance Française, and the Centre for French Culture, this year's challenge will see 14 emerging Saudi filmmaking teams compete for a 2026 filmmaking residency in France. The winning films will also be screened at the Red Sea International Film Festival in December 2025. Shortlisted teams took part in a preparatory workshop on July 11th and the 12th, 2025, led by Iraqi director Ahmed Yassin Aldaradji, Saudi filmmaker Ahd Kamel, and Academy member Cyril Aris. Sessions covered directing, screenwriting, and editing, equipping participants to produce a short film within the 48-hour timeframe. The completed films will be screened in September 2025 during two professional days for industry feedback and mentorship. Two winning teams will be selected based on creativity, technical execution, and storytelling impact, with team leaders receiving the residency in France.

How an AI Video Created the Jessica Radcliffe Orca Death Myth

H-Tayea A viral video circulating on social media has falsely claimed to show orca trainer Jessica Radcliffe being killed by a killer whale during a live performance. The dramatic clip, which appeared to depict a violent attack in front of an audience, sparked fear and outrage online. However, an investigation by Misbar, a fact-checking platform, has confirmed that the story is entirely fabricated. The video in question was generated using artificial intelligence, not filmed during a real-life event. The footage, which first spread widely on TikTok, carried a watermark linked to AI video-generation tools, including the VEO platform. On closer inspection, clear signs of AI creation were visible: the trainer's facial features lacked realistic symmetry, the orca appeared cartoonish with unnaturally smooth textures, and audience members in the background showed distorted expressions—all hallmarks of AI-generated imagery. There are no official reports, safety records, or credible news coverage of any trainer named Jessica Radcliffe or of such an attack occurring. The fabricated narrative appears to exploit public emotional reactions to animal attack stories, especially involving orcas. While this specific incident is fictional, orca-related trainer fatalities have occurred in the past. The most notable was in February 2010, when U.S. trainer Dawn Brancheau was killed by the orca Tilikum at SeaWorld Orlando, an event that sparked worldwide debate about keeping orcas in captivity and was featured in the documentary Blackfish. Other incidents include the 2009 death of Spanish trainer Alexis Martínez in Tenerife and a 1991 fatality in Canada's SeaLand of the Pacific. Orcas, the largest members of the dolphin family, are highly intelligent and social marine mammals that roam vast ocean territories. In captivity, they live in confined tanks and are trained through positive reinforcement to perform behaviors for public shows. However, confinement and separation from family pods can cause stress, sometimes leading to aggression. read more 2 Most Inspirational Green Projects in Egypt AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT to Strive over Viewership Tonight Egypt Marks 70th Anniv. of 2011 Revolution, National Police Day In Depth: WWE NXT Halloween Havoc In Depth: AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT Tuesday Viewership Strive Videos & Features WATCH: Egyptians Break Ramadan Fasts in Matariya Videos & Features GrEEk Campus Hosts Jobzella Fifth Career Fair Videos & Features 3 Iconic Ramadan Songs of All Times Videos & Features Top 4 Destinations to Visit in Upper Egypt Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
