LUX Has Turned Hitting the Like Button Into a Power Move in New Campaign. And We Love How Unapologetic It Is!
By Editor_wr On Apr 19, 2025
The Like button was born on Feb 9, 2009. Ever since, it's been running the show. With many using likes and comments to pass judgements on women and expressions of beauty, this has led women to quietly self-edit their expressions of beauty.
But LUX believes beauty isn't something to be measured. It's meant to be owned. It's power. It's strength.
That's why LUX is flipping the script with its campaign – My Like First. A social first campaign to inspire women to like their own posts first. Not for engagement. Not for the algorithm. But as a bold, unapologetic declaration of self-love. And we are all for it.
On social media, liking one's own posts is considered cringe and vain – even frowned upon. But LUX wants women to own it and give the Like button a whole new meaning. Women who are liking their own posts are saying loud and clear: 'I am beautiful and I already know it.'
With leading actress Yasmine Sabri paving the way, and a wave of unapologetic women across the Middle East and Indonesia joining in, women are making a sassy and bold declaration.
Want in? Hit that heart. For yourself.

Created in collaboration with VML Singapore, the campaign reflects a shared belief in storytelling that inspires women to own their beauty on their terms.

World needs ambition like Sheikh Mohammed's, says Piers Morgan
Dubai's scale of evolution, transformation and dynamism is contagious, said renowned British broadcaster and media personality Piers Morgan, while praising the bold vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai. Recalling the construction of the Burj Khalifa, Morgan noted that when the tower was just 40% complete, Sheikh Mohammed instructed it be pushed to become the tallest building in the world. "That's the level of ambition the rest of the world needs. Be bigger, better and higher in everything we do,' he said. Piers Morgan speaks during the session at the Arab Media Summit in Dubai. From admiration for Dubai's amazing growth to a hard-hitting critique of global media challenges, Morgan's session at the Arab Media Summit with Mina Al Oraibi, Editor-in-Chief of The National, on Wednesday, touched upon ambition, truth, controversy, and the future of journalism. He was speaking on the third and final day of the Summit organised by the Dubai Press Club. The session addressed controversies around his coverage of the Gaza conflict "I'm not here to take sides, I'm here for 'The Truth,' Morgan emphasised. Responding to Al Oraibi's point about his rising influence in the Middle East, Morgan cited his viral debate with comedian Bassem Youssef, which garnered over 22 million views. "That moment showed us the world was watching,' he said, recounting how the two later met in Los Angeles for an extensive discussion that helped him understand the region's complex history. Sheikha Latifa and Dr Anwar Gargash with Piers Morgan during the Arab Media Forum in Dubai. He clarified that he is not a reactionary. "I change my views when the facts change. My job is not to take sides, it's to stand with 'The Truth;' not your truth or my truth, but 'The Truth',' he explained. He warned of a rising tide of misinformation, citing a recent UK case where a woman was jailed over a now-deleted social media post. "She apologised, yet she's serving two years. That's baffling. Where do we draw the line?' "Free speech must be protected,' he said, "but it must not be confused with fake news. Facts are sacred. Agree on the facts; then debate your opinions.' While Morgan admitted he still enjoys reading print newspapers, he was blunt about their future: "No one under 35 is consuming traditional media. They get their news from TikTok and X. That's the reality.'' Emphasising the importance of credibility in the age of AI, when social media gives News, he said, "Let everyone be a journalist, but for trained professionals, individual credibility is important.' Asked why he doesn't shy away from controversy, Morgan was candid: "I love controversy! It makes people watch me. But never on false promises. I am the voice of common sense. That's what most people relate to.' He cautioned against overestimating noise on social media: "Only 20% of people are on X, and it's 8% of them making the noise. That doesn't represent reality.' When asked about the future of media, Morgan responded, "Legacy media is in the dark ages. Look at where youngsters are today; they are on phones, laptops, YouTube. That's the future.' As the session closed, Al-Oraibi emphasised the importance of responsible journalism in shaping informed societies, while Morgan reiterated that in a world full of noise, truth still matters, and real ambition can reshape the world.

Maria Grazia Chiuri leaves Dior after 9 years
Just two days after a poignant cruise show in Rome—where models walked with covered faces—Dior announces the departure of its groundbreaking first female creative director. Who will take the reins? The fashion world was left stunned today as Dior announced the departure of Maria Grazia Chiuri, its first female creative director, after nearly a decade at the helm. The news comes just two days after her final show—the 2026 Cruise presentation in Rome—a deeply personal homecoming that now feels like a silent, symbolic farewell. Chiuri's last show for Dior was held in her hometown of Rome, marking the first time she brought the maison's runway to the Italian capital during her tenure. Yet, what seemed like a celebration now carries an air of mystery: models walked with their faces obscured by veils and draped fabrics, a hauntingly poetic choice that may have been an unintentional sign of her impending exit. Was this a subtle nod to her departure? A reflection on identity, legacy, or the transient nature of fashion? Only Chiuri knows—but the timing is undeniably poignant. Appointed in 2016, Chiuri made history as Dior's first female creative director, bringing a feminist lens to the storied French house. Her tenure was defined by elegant silhouettes, revived icons like the Saddle Bag, and slogan tees declaring 'We Should All Be Feminists.' Under her leadership, Dior became a beacon of modern femininity, blending tradition with progressive ideals. Before Dior, she spent 17 years at Valentino, shaping its romantic aesthetic alongside Pierpaolo Piccioli. Her exit now leaves another major fashion house in transition, following Piccioli's own departure from Valentino earlier this year. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dior Official (@dior) What's Next for Dior? With Chiuri's exit and Kim Jones' departure from Dior Men's earlier this year, the maison faces a pivotal moment of reinvention. No successor has been named, sparking industry-wide speculation: Will Dior return to a bold, avant-garde vision like John Galliano's era? Or will it continue Chiuri's refined, feminist approach with a new voice? In her farewell statement, Chiuri expressed gratitude, saying: 'Together, we have written an impactful chapter of which I am immensely proud.' As the fashion world awaits Dior's next move, one thing is certain: Maria Grazia Chiuri's legacy is indelible—and her final, enigmatic show will be remembered as a moment of quiet, powerful closure. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied & Feature Image: Instagram
