Interviewed Dariga Masenova The famous singer in the Middle East, the fragile Lebanese beauty Diana Haddad came to chat with her favorite fans during the campaign "Style Star Search" in the shopping center "Deira City Center" ...
One of the most successful women in the Arab world, Haddad began climbing Olympus show business from the age of 16, topping almost all the top charts. Singer, TV star and just a fashionista shared with us thoughts about style icons, beauty and fashion.
Diana, do you have your own secret of style?
My biggest secret is self-confidence. I wear what suits me, I don’t like the complicated design, heavy fabrics, dark colors. In clothes, it is especially important for me to feel comfortable and look glamorous. My recipe is simple: trust yourself, choose what suits you and love what you wear.
You look especially interesting today!
Thank you, this is the design of Lebanese couturier Walid Atallah. His Fashion House is here in Dubai.
Was the dress custom tailored?
Yes, and I personally participated in the creation of the design.
For you, there is the concept of the style of "celebrity"?
Of course. Take, for example, Kim Kardashian. She has her own distinct style. By the way, she also represents a mix of two different cultures. A real business woman, but at the same time very feminine. Sometimes it can be seen "natural", but much more often - with full make-up and dressed "with a needle". It impresses me.
You come from Lebanon, but have become part of the culture of the Persian Gulf. Do you think both of these worlds are expressed in your style?
I think they are alike. In the Emirates, there are dress code traditions to be reckoned with. Although here I am completely free to wear what I would wear in Lebanon. There is an unwritten rule for me: you have to respect the people you are close to. Everything is relative, you just need to respect the culture and traditions of others.
Who are the style icons for you?
Yes, this is Victoria Beckham. By the way, recently I was at an event in a black and green Victoria Beckham dress from her latest collection. The success was amazing. Victoria is a very elegant woman, there is nothing "pretentious" in her
How has motherhood affected your image?
I think I stayed the same as I was. Having become a mother, I continue to wear everything that I like. My youngest daughter reminds me very much of her, she is terribly fond of sports and comfortable clothes. But the eldest - clearly monitors all new trends. She likes singer Nicki Minaj.
This girl is not afraid of experiments!
Yes, she is very unusual.
But she does not sing in Arabic. By the way, I can say with confidence that our many readers really like the rhythm of Arabic music.
True? Yes, it’s very good to dance to it. Russians understand the music!
Would you like to visit Russia?
I do not plan yet, but, you know, I have always imagined Russia as an amazing country. In my circle of friends there are quite a lot of Russian friends. Therefore, I can say for sure that your country is rich in culture and traditions. Russians, in general, are great! Almost all the famous top models are from Russia, perhaps also because all of your people are very tall, not like we are in the East. And yes, I also heard that your girls are the most beautiful in the world ...
