For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle Best TV show you’ve ever seen?    I loved “Bridgerton.” I really enjoyed every detail, from the dresses to the hairstyles and makeup. It really inspired me. I love the fashion trends from that time period. I would have loved to live in the 19th century. I used to travel to England a lot and I once did a photoshoot that was inspired by the 1880s. I really enjoyed it.  Worst TV show/film you’ve ever seen?   I don’t like stuff about the space or sharks or the ocean. It stresses me out a lot.  Best personal style moment so far?    I adore any plain black skirt because it beautifies all tops and looks under abayas. If you’re wearing a basic outfit, it always elevates it. If you’re wearing a basic t-shirt it immediately looks better and more stylish with a skirt.   Worst personal style moment?   Leggings under short dresses. A nightmare! That used to be my favorite style when I was younger. I’m not proud of it at all.  Best accessory for a little black dress?    Gold accessories take the dress to another level. I’ve always loved gold accessories and layering pieces together. Worst accessory for a little black dress?    I think any accessory will look beautiful with black dresses. It’s impossible to go wrong.  Best fashion trend of 2024?    Large earrings. It’s such wonderful look — perfect for summer or winter. I usually get them when I travel.  Worst fashion trend of 2024?    Leopard print! I do not think it looks nice on me — the colors do not suit me. I feel like it’s messy and patchy. People say it represents richness, but I do not like it. Best book you’ve ever read?   Sumaya Al-Nasser’s “How to Master the Game of Life.” This book changed my life and habits. I love self-development books. I like that they teach you how to live life in the right way. In this book, the author gives you solutions for problems and lays out time frames. It’s an amazing book.  Worst book you’ve ever read?    I generally don’t like fiction. I prefer watching movies.  Best thing to do when you’re feeling low?   I put some makeup on because it makes me feel calm. My mood immediately changes.  Worst thing to do when you’re feeling good?    Sitting with people who have negative energy. Eventually, you’ll also feel down. Best holiday destination?   AlUla. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth — beyond imagination. There is nothing like it. It is wonderful in winter. There are lots of activities and events. It blends ancient heritage and culture with luxury. I love it.  Worst holiday destination?    Anywhere without my family. Quality time with family is always special.   Best subject at school?    Art. It opened all the doors of creativity for me. It was the start of my passion for makeup. I would get really excited to draw. Worst subject at school?    Math. I’m so bad at it. It was very hard for me. I wasn’t interested in it.  Best thing to do to ensure you have a productive day?   Make a list of your daily tasks. It makes you more focused. Worst thing to do when you’re trying to have a productive day?    Just go along with everyone else’s plans and forget your own tasks.
