Styled Archives: MENA Celebs Who Made Hoops the Moment

Gold or silver. Thick or thin. Polished or dented from too many nights out. The hoop earring has seen it all - and in the MENA region, it’s practically part of the uniform.

It’s the piece that survives the outfit change, the after-party, the decade. Pop stars wear them to perform, actresses wear them to travel, and everyone else wears them just because. Somewhere between tradition and attitude, the hoop always finds its way back into the frame.

In this edition of Styled Archives, we scroll through the moments that cemented its reign - Amal Maher centre stage, Yasmine Sabri under the flash, Hend Sabry in transit. No reinvention required. Just another reminder that the hoop never left.
