She shun and dazzled throughout this season with poise and class, and there's no doubt that millions of people look up to her for fashion inspiration.
For the first live show, Najwa wore a long black embroidered velvet dress by Maria Lucia Hohan, it's clear that Najwa added her own touch to the dress by removing the straps and making amends to a few other things, and I'm so glad she did so! It definitely highlighted her slender figure and the skeleton-like embroideries enhanced her features
For the second live show, Najwa Karam glowed in a Naeem Khan F/W 13 Ready To Wear gown, the top half had silver embellishments, and the bottom half was plain black fabric, with a little black belt-like section to accentuate the waist. Again, it's quite evident that some changes were made to the dress.
She was like a ray of sunshine, and there's no surprise as to why she's nicknamed 'The Sun of the Song'.
The only female judge on the panel wore this blue strapless, floor-grazing gown with asymmetric hemline by Safiyaa, I loved the draped one-side peplum detail and the contrast bodice and thought it made her appear more curvy, but felt the dress was a little too bridesmaid-y, I didn't think it was Najwa Karam standard, but I guess it was good to see her in something different. Change is good.
I'm not sure who designed this black v-neck maxi gown, and I'm not so keen on this one as a dress, I didn't really understand its concept, there seems to be a back/shoulder cover attached at the front, which I assume is something that was attached on for her, it just looked like a few bits stuck together, but it definitely made me come to the conclusion that Najwa Karam can make any dress look flaw-free!
For the 5th episode, the singer opted for a bronze one shoulder Marchesa gown from their A/W 12 collection. I thought this one was even worse than the previous, mainly because the colour seemed too dull and didn't stand out in anyway, I would have preferred it if the shoulder section was left as it was, and I wasn't a fan of the hip detailing, but if anything, again, it should have been left as it was. Change wasn't for the best this time.
And just as I was beginning to think it was all going to be doom and gloom for Najwa's dresses, Lanvin saved the day! I absolutely adore this one and the changes that have been made, made this green scarf embellished satin gown look immaculate! It had been taken in at the waist, which adds literally everything to the dress, it's not at all exaggerated, it just gracefully shows off her body. Class, chic, elegance and I've found a favourite.
Obviously, she was saving the best 'til last, as she dazzled in this custom made metallic Zuhair Murad gown with sequins cross-sectioned across the front, and the fabric behind the sequins just completed it perfectly. I had been waiting for this kind of dress all season long! This is the kind of dress that I'd associate with Najwa Karam, and I didn't expect anything less for a season finale. Nobody tops Zuhair Murad. Period.
