Styled Archives: Arab Stars Tip Their Hats to Style
From fedoras to caps to knit beanies, these MENA celebs proved that the right hat doesn’t just complete a look, it steals the show.
In the Middle East and North Africa, hats have always done more than cover the head. They signal allegiance, project character, fix an image in the public eye. The keffiyeh and ghutra carry history. Fedoras, fascinators, and knit caps slip into the frame of celebrity.
Omar Sharif’s fedora was as recognisable as his film roles. Myriam Fares, photographed in a knit cap in 2012, gave casual headwear a pop charge. Across decades, each brim, tilt, or flourish has etched itself into the region’s style record — a shorthand for glamour, bravado and reinvention.
