June came and went like a whirlwind, pushing everyone indoors as the heat ramped up. But despite the humid weather, fashion persisted. From lips to scents to shoes, here’s our June fashion recap on what else was hot.
Zegna’s First International Fashion Show
Marking a major milestone in its 115-year history, Italian brand Zegna transformed the Dubai Opera for its first-ever international fashion show. Showcasing their Oasis collection, the runway saw neutral earthy tones, relaxing fits, and clothes crinkling with texture that reflected a casual, but chic polish. Staged on a sandy desertscape that blends the UAE and the Italian brand’s natural landscapes, this collection successfully brings together a cross-cultural moment while simultaneously celebrating Zegna’s innovation in menswear fashion.
Huda Beauty’s Lip Contour Stain
We can’t name a thing that Huda Beauty hasn’t gone viral for, and the latest drop of lip liner stains is the newest addition to the list. The ultra-pigmented product comes in 8 shades and dries down to a matte lip. It’s also smudge and transfer-proof, which is why you will find this product all over TikTok.
From kissing mirrors to eating hamburgers, each TikTok is just further proof of why you should add this lip liner stain to your cart.
PUMA’s Mostroverse at Mall of the Emirates
Following the rerelease of their cult Mostro sneaker, PUMA hosted the Mostroverse—an immersive pop-up that brings the concept of the Mostro campaign to life. Located in Mall of the Emirates, the pop-up is a moody 10-second game where you have to grab a pod (a small spikey ball) in the dark.
Those who play stand a chance to win a pair of Mostro sneakers and other PUMA merchandise.
Fenty Beauty’s New Gloss Bombs Oil Launch Night
Fenty Beauty flooded Sexy Fish Dubai with glass-like shine to launch its new Gloss Bomb Oil, drawing a swirl of influencers, red-carpet regulars, and pro MUAs who swatched the eight vinyl-finish shades under the restaurant’s neon coral glow.
Between dragon-fruit mocktails dubbed “Fenty Glow” and a DJ spinning throwback R&B, the night sealed Rihanna’s latest drop as the city’s next after-dark essential.
Mohammed Hindash’s First Ever Guerlain Masterclass
Shortly after being appointed as the region’s brand ambassador, Dubai-based celebrity makeup artist Mohammed Hindash hosted his first Guerlain masterclass. The class featured Hindash’s beauty tips as well as his favourite Guerlain products, spotlighting the brand’s Terracotta collection.
Kheir Fragrances’ Beirut Baklava
Joining the list of products we wish we could eat is the Beirut Baklava, a recently launched fragrance by Dubai-based brand Kheir Fragrances. A true gourmand that opens with sweet and spicy notes of orange blossom and cardamom, the perfume then melts into its signature baklava accord that is toasty, nutty, and absolutely delicious. The scent dries down to a base of cedarwood, leather, and vanilla, giving the sweetness and warmth that transports you to a streetside Lebanese bakery.
