Najwa Karam is possibly the number one most anticipated TV personality; her fashion choices never lack elegance and class, making her the ultimate style inspiration and fashion icon for millions of Arab women, and Arabs Got Talent is our best source, as Miss Karam continuously sets the bar higher as she takes the opportunity to showcase her beautiful offstage style over the course of 13 consecutive weeks.
For the first episode of the live shows, Najwa Karam opted for this lime-green coloured long-sleeved bandage top and matching knee-long skirt from the Herve Leger Pre-Spring 2014 collection, featuring grey embroideries and zips down both pieces.
Such a fun, fresh and season-appropriate colour , however my only problem with it was the length of the skirt, which was too long for my personal liking, but I can get over that as everything else was jaw-droppingly-perfect!
As the second episode came, it brought with it an ill-tasting dress that I have no pleasant words in describing, except for its neckline and shape. which I found to be very flattering on the judge.
The dress featured two ruffled flowers on one side and one on the opposite side, which are the reason I found the dress to be quite disappointing; I believe it would have definitely been more tolerable if all of the ruffled flowers were aligned on the same side.
For the next episode which coincided with Valentine's day, Najwa wore this dreamy optic multi-coloured ripple jacquard number by Herve Leger. The sleeveless dress, which was from the brand's pre-spring 2015 collection, featured a crew neck opening and a body-con silhouette, which the brand is very much famous for.
This was possibly my favourite outfit choice so far, however, I really was hoping for something more valentine-y like this, although Najwa Karam has the ability to put anyone in a romantic and loving mood with her presence, alone.
A breathtaking new haircut and outfit choice came along with the 4th live episode, which made this lady look like she was turning 29 and not 49.
The Roland Mouret figure-flattering one-shouldered wool-crepe gown featured a peplum waist, which accentuated and defined her waist and hips, and a folded detailing at the asymmetrical neckline.
It was simply a look sculptured to perfection.
The Lebanese songstress was the epitome of class and sophistication in this velvet Bassam Nehme gown for the 5th episode of the semi-finals. The silhouette-enhancing gown featured a cutout detail at the chest; a trend which we have been continuously seeing on runways for the past couple of years. This element essentially added to the femininity of the dress and set it apart.
The only aspect of the dress that I didn't find appealing was the bow at the waist, as otherwise, I thought it was a very tasteful choice.
Hand in hand with fellow judge, she steps out a Disney film, wearing a full-skirted ballerina dress with a mid-sleeved cutaway top. In all poise and effortlessness, she glides to the centre of the stage. The humble title of "Sun of the Song, Najwa Karam" is called out as apposed to her more formal title of 'Her Majesty, Queen of the Lebanese Republic' and she acknowledges the existence of the audience with a wave and a self-assured smile.
She sits down, back straight, and the camera zooms on her, she, the ever gracious and eternally ageless member of Lebanese royalty as she serves us an overwhelming amount of pearls, glitter, sequins, 2 shades of purple gemstones and 30 pounds of weave all at once.
Whew. Clearly a fan of the vibe it gave, I wasn't fond of the gown, although I did warm to it as the show went on. I believe it would have been made mile better without the cutaway top or without the sleeves at least, as although it balances out the shape and is in fact on trend, it was nothing like I had hoped.
