At Work With Ajwa Aljoudi, Saudi's Red Carpet Gal

Aljoudi conducts interviews with celebrities on the red carpet as part of her show 'Red Carpet' on Althaqafiya. In the past, Aljoudi has gotten the inside scoop from A-listers such as Eiza González, Harrison Ford, Ramy Youssef, Walton Goggins, Giancarlo Esposito, Wanda Sykes, Adrien Brody, Glenn Close, and Dominic West, to name a few. After each interview, Aljoudi is always so amazed by the humbleness of the people she meets on the red carpet. 'Behind all this fame and success, I've consistently sensed a beautiful level of kindness and humanity, which is hard to sense through the screen,' says Aljoudi. The reporter's favourite part of the entire experience is selecting a red carpet-worthy outfit that also pays homage to her roots. 'I work with a number of amazing stylists who dive into the nitty-gritty details. One thing I always, always, always make sure of is I'm wearing a Saudi design. There's a special kind of pride in being able to answer those asking about my dress, loud and clear, This dress is Saudi designed and Saudi made.' Aljoudi's key to mastering the red carpet is understanding the industry while staying authentic to who she is. She believes that having a clear purpose as to whether she's there to report, represent, or create impact is a must. Aljoudi adds, 'For me, attending red carpet events isn't just about showing up; it's about showing up with intention, representing where I come from, and having something meaningful to convey.'
