How to style winter runway trends like Sheikha Moza

With impeccable taste and an eye for detail, Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser has the rare ability to transform even the subtlest runway cues into boldly artistic ensembles. A global style icon, she translates high fashion into looks that are modest yet undeniably regal, modern, powerful, and effortlessly chic.

With fabrics spanning gleaming satin, decorative jacquard, and finely embroidered silks and tweed, the Winter 2026 collections had us captivated, and who better than Her Highness Sheikha Moza to transform these trends into modest ensembles that take our breath away.

Bold Floral Motifs

As luxury fashion houses embrace bold, traditional motifs, Her Highness Sheikha Moza is no stranger to exotic statements. For one of the most anticipated evenings on the region’s fashion calendar, the Fashion Trust Arabia Awarding ceremony in Doha, she arrived in a bespoke, embroidered Valentino Haute Couture ensemble, delivering a look truly one for the books.

Burgandy Reds

From deep wine red to rich burgundy, this hue has dominated the runways this season, and Her Highness Sheikha Moza has truly owned the trend. For the Closing Doha Forum, she looked powerful and sophisticated in a bespoke Thom Browne maroon double-breasted coat dress that left us in awe.

Drop waist

The drop-waisted dress silhouette is having a moment this winter, appearing in the collections of Dior, Emilia Wickstead, and Gabriela Hearst—and, of course, it did not escape the notice of the iconic Sheikha Moza. The stylish royal embraced the trend in a bespoke light sage-green Thom Browne dress, paired with a matching coat embroidered with cherry blossoms and Asian-inspired motifs.

A Tweed Moment

True to her iconic reputation as the Queen of Couture, Her Highness Sheikha Moza revisited a Thom Browne tweed look from Autumn/Winter 2019, reimagining it as inspiration for a bespoke creation. She was seen at the closing session of the WISE Summit 2025 wearing a green tweed coat, masterfully paired with a bold pink dress. This ensemble perfectly captured her signature blend of modernity, elegance, and sartorial authority.
