The new pieces combine gold and diamonds to form the shape of the number five, a symbol closely associated with the brand's identity. The collection includes rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings, all inspired by the enduring allure of the No. 5 brand.
In the campaign images, Bahia was seen wearing various pieces from the line, including number five-shaped drop earrings, a diamond pendant necklace, a gold bracelet featuring the numeral and matching rings. The designs incorporate both yellow and white gold and are detailed with diamonds.

Bahia has collaborated with Chanel on several occasions. Most recently, in January, she opened the runway show during Paris Haute Couture Week wearing an ensemble that combined the house's signature tweed with pastel quilting.
The look featured a jacket with a quilted front panel in soft shades of pink, blue, yellow and green, contrasted with white tweed sleeves. The jacket was detailed with front pockets and Chanel's signature buttons.
The in-demand model also wore a white tweed mini skirt, paired with a slim black belt featuring a gold buckle. The outfit was completed with two-tone Mary Jane heels in black and white, secured with gold buckle-adorned ankle straps.

In May 2024, she walked the Chanel Cruise 2024/2025 show in Marseille, France.
Bahia donned a green ensemble, composed of a knee-length pencil skirt paired with a matching top, layered over a white shirt boasting a hoodie collar.
That same year, in June, she walked for the brand during Paris Fashion Week as part of its fall/winter 2024-2025 collection unveiling.

She graced the runway in a two-piece ensemble comprising a tailored buttoned jacket complemented by a matching knee-length skirt in a delicate tweed fabric. Both garments were adorned with subtle black tassel details.
The model's first campaign with Chanel was in 2022, when she was just 19 years old. It was Chanel's Metiers d'Art spring 2022 campaign, shot by fashion photographer Mikael Jansson.
In the campaign, Bahia displayed the savoir faire of artisans via tailored jackets, logo-emblazoned leather gloves, wide-brimmed hats, embellished mini-dresses and ornate bangles, necklaces and earrings.

Where We Are Going Today: Pop Tayer in Jeddah
Pop Tayer has become a go-to in Jeddah for lovers of bite-sized pastries, blending the rich flavors of Lebanese cuisine with the comforting taste of Saudi favorites. Seeing classic pastries in such small portions is both surprising and appealing, with each piece fresh, flavorful and hard to resist. The signature selection includes spinach, kebbeh and pizza. The spinach variety offers a tangy burst of flavor, the mini pizzas carry a nostalgic, homemade taste, and the kebbeh is crisp on the outside with a savory, well-seasoned filling. Pop Tayer's Lebanese-inspired menu also features safiha, shish barak and waraa einab, while the Saudi flavors include aish bilahham and sambusa — all served in the brand's signature miniature style. The pastries make great guilt-free snacks, whether at home, at work or on the go. They are sold by the kilogram or the dozen. A kilogram of spinach pastries is priced at SR220 ($59). All pastries are homemade and preservative-free, with orders prepared fresh, except for the spinach filling, which is frozen in advance before baking. Orders can be placed via Instagram @pop_tayer.

Hunna mentorship program hits right notes for women in MENA
RIYADH: The women-led music initiative, Hunna, has launched its 2025 mentorship program and workshop series. Now in its third year, the program connects women across the region with mentors, resources and networks to help them grow professionally. It has more than 120 members from Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and elsewhere. This year's program began in July, with six participants paired with professionals from various musical disciplines. They will each receive monthly one-on-one mentorship and tailored development plans as well as access to Hunna's wider programming. The culmination of their hard work will be a showcase at this year's XP Music Futures in December. Mentorship program manager Nadia Khan, who also founded the nongovernmental organization Women in Ctrl, said: 'This year's mentor-mentee pairings reflect the diversity of talent in the region and the global reach of the women guiding them. 'Having such inspirational and accomplished mentors means our mentees aren't just receiving guidance, they're learning directly from women who have carved their own paths in music, broken barriers and proven that it's possible to thrive while staying true to your vision.' This year's pairings are: Tunisia-based Chaima Soudani with Celine Hitti, head of artist services MENA at Believe; singer Nadine Lingawi (Fulana) with Emmy-nominated composer and BBC Radio 3 presenter Hannah Peel; Egyptian multi-instrumentalist and producer Martina Ashraf with Montreal-based experimental electronic artist Liliane Chlela; Saudi composer and pianist Nora Aljebrin with Nadin Al-Khalidi, lead vocalist of Tarabband; DJ and producer Lena Chercaoui with Saudi DJ and producer Cosmicat; and Palestinian-Jordanian vocalist Lina Sleibi with singer-songwriter and visual creative Lina Makoul. The pairings were chosen through an anonymized selection process led by Hunna committee members and former participants. 'Hunna is about creating a space of solidarity and community where women can grow in every part of the music industry,' Hitti said. Al-Khalidi said: 'I joined the Hunna mentorship program to share my journey and inspire others to tell their own stories through music.' Workshops are a core part of the program. The first, 'Introduction to Music Production,' will be held on Aug. 20 at Beast House in Riyadh. Monthly sessions through November will cover production, live performance, artist strategy and global positioning. They will be accessible to all members of the Hunna community. Tanya Awad, head of music and experience at XP Music Futures and MDLBeast Foundation, which leads the Hunna initiative, said: 'Our vision is clear: to see MENA women in every facet of the music industry.'

Maya Waked on music, identity, and her upcoming Dubai show
RIYADH: Lebanese-Canadian singer, songwriter, and genre-defying performer Maya Waked is celebrated for her evocative reinterpretations of classic songs and emotionally rich originals, blending nostalgia with modernity in a voice shaped by her multicultural heritage. Ahead of her anticipated performance at Dubai's Zabeel Theatre this November, she spoke to Arab News about her creative journey and cultural identity. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ 'I take pride in taking the road less travelled by. I've always taken an unconventional approach within my art and like to challenge social boundaries,' Waked said, noting that genre-defying music allows her to explore sounds and themes without limits. Her songs capture the joie de vivre — the joy of life — even when tinged with nostalgia. 'I express love, longing, and hope, especially from the perspective of someone living in a multicultural city like Dubai.' She envisions her upcoming show as 'a warm, emotional celebration,' adding: 'I hope the audience laughs, cries, sings, and dances, just like we do at any Lebanese gathering.' Being trilingual shapes her music deeply. 'Arabic adds depth and poetry, French lends romance, and English gives a modern edge.' She began her career by reinterpreting 1980s Lebanese songs she loved, aiming to give them fresh life. 'I'm also drawn to timeless melodies — anything that people hum as soon as the first note plays.' Her audience is primarily aged 30 to 50, often Lebanese and Middle Eastern expats, although her music also resonates with non-Arabic speakers. 'Despite the challenges of balancing my personal and artistic life, I've learned that adversity often fuels meaningful art.' Looking ahead, Waked hopes to keep performing and producing, and dreams of singing in Beirut — the heart of her song 'Helmi Ghanilak Bi Beirut.'
