A Golden Thread: Arab Designers Spotted At The 2026 Golden Globes

This year’s 83rd annual Golden Globes was a masterclass in modern glamour.

Arab designers were behind some of the night’s most talked about looks, from Mohammed Ashi dressing Kylie Jenner and Saja Kilani in Reema Dahbour.

An unforgettable night in entertainment and fashion, GRAZIA highlights the looks by Arab designers that were spotted on the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet.

Saja Kilani in Reema Dahbour

The Palestinian-Jordanian-Canadian Actor from The Voice of Hind Rajab, Saja Kilani, embraced her heritage in a custom full-length gown by Reema Dahbour. The Jordanian designer, known for her architectural and culturally grounded approach to womenswear, had dressed a star-studded roster including supermodel Bella Hadid and singer Zeyne. Inspired by the Palestinian thobe, Saja’s look referenced heritage in a quiet yet powerful way. Tatreez embroidery, symbolising protection and care, lined the neckline and the ‘Moon of Bethlehem’ earrings by Arab Jewellery designer Tamr Henna finished the look. Executed in black, the most worn colour at this year’s Golden Globes, the gown blended in with the dress code, yet the symbolism of resilience stood out.

Kylie Jenner in Ashi Studio

Kylie Jenner stunned in a custom Ashi Studio for the 83rd Golden Globes. Accompanying her partner of three years, Timothée Chalamet, she arrived in a high-impact look that quickly became one of the night’s most photographed moments. Mohammed Ashi is the Saudi Designer behind Ashi Studio, a couture house based in Paris. Known for his sharp construction and truly artistic precision, Mohammed became the first Saudi designer to be invited to the official Paris Haute Couture calendar. Returning to the designer after her last appearance in ASHI Studio for the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Kylie wore this look fully sleek, pairing the shimmering gown with a matching slicked-back pony, minimal yet striking makeup, and jewels that sparkled.

Nikki glaser in zuhair murad

For her second year hosting the Golden Globes, Nikki Glasser did not disappoint – not in her humour, nor in her look. Fully dressed in pink from head to toe, she wowed the audience wearing Spring 2026 Zuhair Murad. Known for his designs that favour femininity and have a camera-ready appeal, this Lebanese couturier is synonymous with the awards season. A hostess with the mostess, Nikki led the night in Arab style, choosing a look that held its own across the carpet and throughout the evening.

Maura Higgins in Marmar Halim

Dressed in Marmar Halim, Maura Higgins made a statement on the red carpet. Based in Dubai, the Egyptian designer has dressed a number of stars for major red carpet appearances, Jackie Tohn for the Emmys, Heidi Klum for the Oscars Afterparty, and Anna Cathcart for the SAG Awards. Thoughtfully executed, Maura’s look featured a floor-length figure-hugging black gown paired with a maxi, textured golden shawl. Inspired by the diversity of cultures that have shaped her, Marmar draws on contrasts, pairing clean foundations with expressive accents, a balance seamlessly reflected in this red-carpet look.
