DUBAI: Lebanese Jordanian actress Andria Tayeh has been nominated for best supporting actress at the Austrian Film Award for her role in 'Mond.'

She is nominated alongside Italian actress Gerti Drassl and Austrian actress Maria Hofstatter.
'Mond' is directed by Austrian filmmaker Kurdwin Ayub. The film follows former martial artist Sarah, who leaves Austria to train three sisters from a wealthy family in the Middle East.
What initially appears to be a dream job soon takes a darker turn: The young women are isolated from the outside world and placed under constant surveillance. They show little interest in sports — raising the question of why Sarah was hired in the first place.
Tayeh plays the role of Nour, one of the three sisters.

The actress, who is also known for her roles in Netflix's hit series 'Al-Rawabi School for Girls,' has had a busy year collaborating with multiple brands and fronting their campaigns.
In February, Giorgio Armani announced her appointment as its new Middle East beauty ambassador.
She took to Instagram to express her excitement: 'I am thrilled and honored to embark on this new journey with Armani beauty. This marks a real milestone for me, as the brand embodies values I have always cherished: timeless elegance, dramatic simplicity, and women empowerment.'

That same month, she was named the first Middle Eastern ambassador for French haircare brand Kerastase.
In a promotional clip, she appeared in an all-white studio, answering questions about why she is the ideal Kerastase ambassador. Tayeh spoke in a mix of English, Arabic and French, playfully flipping her hair for the camera as she discussed her dedication to maintaining healthy hair.

In March, she also fronted Armani's Ramadan campaign, set against the backdrop of a desert landscape.
Draped in a flowing emerald-green abaya, Tayeh was seen in the video applying the Vert Malachite perfume from Armani Prive as the camera captured the details of the fragrance and her attire. The setting featured sand dunes stretching into the horizon.

Labubu mania sweeps the UAE, CEO of The Little Things says
DUBAI: Once just a niche collectible from Asia, Labubus have now become the must-have accessory among youth, influencers and collectors of all ages. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ Seen clutched in the hands of BLACKPINK's Lisa and Rosé, flaunted by Rihanna, and even making cameos in Kim Kardashian's social media posts, Labubu has found its way into the UAE's trend-savvy culture. According to Hassan Tamimi, CEO of The Little Things, the UAE's official POP MART retailer, the demand for Labubu has reached unprecedented levels. 'Labubu has become more than a collectible here,' Tamimi told Arab News Japan. 'It's a lifestyle statement. We're seeing people pair them with luxury handbags, sports cars, even use them in wedding shoots.' But in a region known for its love of luxury and limited-edition goods, the blind box collectible has struck a chord, especially among Gen Z and millennial buyers seeking aesthetic, niche fandom items with resale value. However, the spike in popularity has brought an unfortunate side effect: a flood of fake Labubu figures infiltrating the UAE market. Counterfeit toys, often dubbed 'Lafufu' by collectors, have been circulating online via scam websites and unverified sellers. 'We've had several customers walk into our stores with fake Labubus thinking they were real,' Tamimi said. 'It's heartbreaking, especially for those who paid high prices for something inauthentic.' Tamimi warned buyers to look out for telltale signs: typos on packaging, incorrect paint colors, poor stitching on plushies, or even the wrong number of teeth, authentic Labubu figures always have exactly nine. To meet the overwhelming demand while keeping things fair, The Little Things has implemented a strict one-piece-per-customer policy. The company has also increased restocking efforts and trained in-store staff to help collectors verify authenticity. Tamimi also pointed out that Labubu's appeal lies in the thrill of the hunt. 'The blind box format taps into that collector instinct, there's excitement, suspense, and FOMO. You never know which figure you'll get, especially with rarer editions, and that makes each purchase feel like an event,' he told Arab News Japan. While Labubu has long been a cult favorite in Japan, Tamimi noted that the UAE is quickly becoming a hotspot in its own right. In Dubai and Abu Dhabi especially, Labubu fans are forming communities, trading figures and sharing unboxings and display setups online. 'What's happening here mirrors what we've seen in Tokyo,' he added. 'The only difference is access, Japan often gets first dibs on regional exclusives. But that scarcity is part of what makes collecting in the UAE so exciting.' As for those looking to join the Labubu craze, Tamimi has one piece of advice: stick to official sellers. 'If it's too cheap or too easy to find online, it's probably fake. Trust verified stores. The magic of Labubu is in the real thing.' - This article was first published on Arab News Japan.
