The Murex D'Or is an annual Lebanese award that was made in recognition of achievements in the domain of art in Lebanon and the Arab region.
Many Arabic stars attended this year's event, whether it was to accept an award or to give out an award, and one thing was for sure, when it came to fashion, there was a lot of controversy!
I'm unsure as to who designed this dress worn by Lebanese singer and actress, Cyrine Abdel Nour. I have mixed views about this particular dress, it looks a little 80's-ish and I think it definitely makes her look good and flaunts her body beautifully. I especially love the dress from the waist and under, all the detailing at the bottom and how the trail is not too long and not too short - perfect length for the occasion. Having said that, the top of the dress was a bit of a mess.
X Factor Arabia judge and 'Asaad Wahda' singer, Elissa, wore a white and silver Marchesa gown. I liked how she didn't overdress and nor did she under dress for the event, I felt it was just the right amount of sparkle with the intricate embellishments and the wrap that turned it into a one-shouldered dress and trailed off... She surely didn't fail to impress as she dazzled on the red carpet and on stage!
Maya Diab definitely opted for a rather risqué look, striking a lot of controversy... I'm not so keen on the excessive see-through-ness, however I do like the style of the dress, it's figure hugging, and I guess with a body like Maya Diab's, anything would look good! I definitely like the two lion heads on the top part of the dress, it's very fierce and brings out Maya's fiery personality.
...one of the biggest fashion crimes of all time.
Was it for attention, or general bad taste in clothing? If it was for attention, then Pamela El Kik got it for sure - for all the wrong reasons. I don't understand the concept of the whole excessively beaded bustier and the clash of colours on the bottom half the dress. Mess.
Keeping the best dress 'til last, Arabic singer Lara Scandar, looked ever so beautiful wearing this Elie Saab Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear number, I loved the colour of the dress - even though royal blue is a colour that is mostly associated with winter, the nude undertones certainly lighten it up and add to its elegance. I loved the simple fabric detailing on the top half of the dress, and the different shades of blue strips on the bottom. By far, my favourite dress of the night!

Arab Idol judge and Lebanese songstress, Nancy Ajram, certainly got it right, she wore a blue Balmain gown for the event. The look is simple, yet elegant, and it complements her petite figure perfectly... Effortlessly attracting the eyes of the audience. I liked strips that go in opposite directions around the waist, making it appear smaller, adding to the 'hour-glass' figure that most women want.
