Lady Madonna, undisputed icon of the Arab world stars on the cover of Vogue Arabia’s October 2023 edition. The Lebanese singer and entertainer embodied the synergy of music, art, and fashion during the eighties, creating and thriving in a fantasy world of camp and avant-garde expression. The artist played a pivotal role in reintroducing post-war Lebanon to the world as a hub of creativity and artistic expression.
Along with a cover shoot that sees Lady Madonna dressed in all-eyes-on-me looks by designers of the region, this month, we also dove into the archives of her most impactful looks, bringing them back into the limelight with a very special fashion spread featuring pieces such as the Dalmatian dress by Fouad Sarkis, and the fuchsia feather dress with feather cape by Roni Eid.

Olympians Sheikh Rashid Bin Ahmed Al Maktoum and wife Natalie Lankester, model Chanel Ayan and husband Chris Pillott, and Iraqi American business owner Mona Kattan and Hassan Elamin share the challenges they overcame and with time, saw their love celebrated by their respective families.
