Styled Archives: Yousra's Best Looks From 2014 TV Hit 'Saraya Abdeen'

In the 2014–2015 historical drama Saraya Abdeen, Yousra stepped into one of Ramadan’s most canonical roles to date: Hoshiyar Qadin, the Walida Pasha.

The series first aired on MBC on 29 June 2014, written by Kuwaiti author Heba Meshari Hamada and directed by Amr Arafa, with a second season following in April 2015 under the direction of Shadi Abu Al-Oyoun Al-Soud. Produced by Mahmood Shokri, the ensemble cast included Qusai Khouli, Nour, May Kassab, Ghada Adel and Nelly Karim alongside Yousra — placing her at the centre of a large-scale period production anchored in palace politics.

Her wardrobe reflected that hierarchy. Velvet gowns, jewel-toned silks, structured crowns and sweeping capes reinforced her authority within the Abdeen Palace setting. Pearls, brooches and gold embroidery were deployed with precision, aligning costume with character.
