Jenny Esber’s Most Unapologetically Kitschy 2010s Fashion Moments

Jenny Esber might not be a household name everywhere in the region, but if you spent any time flipping through satellite channels in the late 2000s and early 2010s, chances are you’ve come across her. Born in Latakia to a Syrian father and Ukrainian mother, Esber spent much of her childhood in Ukraine before returning to Syria at sixteen, where she began modeling, appeared in commercials, and eventually transitioned into acting - most memorably in the cult-favorite Syrian series Sabaya.

And if there’s one thing Esber delivered consistently during that era, it was peak 2010s kitsch. Think rhinestone details, pink-on-pink layering, camo sets, statement sequins, and the kind of hair accessories that instantly transport you back to a time when satellite TV reigned supreme. The vibe? You’re casually channel surfing, land on Rotana Khaleejiya, and suddenly there’s 'Sabaya' - with Esber serving a look that feels like it walked straight out of a mall in 2011.
