Bahrain’s celebrated fashion influencer and beauty vlogger Khawla Al Maraghi serendipitously found her way onto social media five years ago. “I’ve always loved posting my outfits, and I was surprised at how quickly my following began to grow,” she explains. But one tap on her uber-stylish Instagram or YouTube channel reveals a world populated by modest outfits that epitomize her signature style.

The young Arab cites her “spontaneity and simplicity” as the reasons she remains one of the most prominent faces in the digital scene in Bahrain. “The reality of my life is that I’m in university while also working in social media. I want to be an example of a person who can maintain a work-study balance, while achieving my ambitions. My main goal in life is not to waste a second and to live every day with a new story.” @Kam_227
