The Kuwaiti royal and producer made her red carpet debut at the Gouna Film Festival 2024.
On October 24, Sheikha Abrar Khaled Al Sabah made her red carpet debut at the 7th Gouna Film Festival, held in Gouna by the Red Sea.
In a statement for Villa88, Sheikha shared that “walking the GFF red carpet was as meaningful as the honour of representing my country, Kuwait, at such a significant event.” The Sheikha added that her “presence aimed to pave the way for Kuwaiti filmmakers and artists to enter the regional media landscape at future events. I’m deeply grateful to Orascom and the GFF organizers for making everything possible.”
For her first red-carpet appearance, Sheikha Abrar Khaled Al Sabah wowed attendees in a stunning black and silver Valentino gown from the Pre-Fall 2024 collection, one of Pierpaolo Piccioli’s last collections at the Maison.
She showcased her fashion sensibility by opting for an altered version of the gown, elegantly closing the slit of the original design to create a more sophisticated and streamlined look. This choice not only highlighted her poise but also allowed her to make a memorable statement on the red carpet.
