Saudi model Amira Al-Zuhair has recently made waves with her appearance in Italian fashion house Prada's Ramadan and Eid Al-Fitr campaign. The talented model, who had a gradual introduction to the industry with test shoots and editorials, took to Instagram to showcase her favorite accessory from the latest Prada edit, which features relaxed-yet-elegant pieces. The campaign features Al-Zuhair posing confidently with Prada's distinctive leather shoulder bag. "My favorite bag from the Ramadan and Eid campaign I shot with @Prada," she captioned an image she posted to social media, accompanied by brown heart, stars, and crescent moon emojis.
Despite her success in the modeling industry, Al-Zuhair has always made her education a top priority. "I've always been a bit of a nerd — I represented my school in national math competitions, I was head of the math team, and a member of the UK's Youth Parliament. And then I focused on my degree. It's still my goal today to become a lawyer," she explained in a previous interview with a local publication.
Born in Paris to a French mother and Saudi father, Al-Zuhair was raised in London. However, she has a strong cultural and emotional attachment to the Kingdom, where her family frequently traveled between the UK and Riyadh. "I love Saudi. It's a big part of who I am, and I really appreciate everything that's going on at the moment — the advancements in culture, education, economy, and infrastructure," she said. "The current leadership has done an amazing job at putting the country at the forefront of the global stage, and I'm really proud to see these changes."
Al-Zuhair's traditional values, instilled in her while growing up in Europe, have not hindered her success in the fashion industry. Her start to 2023 has been busy so far and has included walking the runway for Dolce and Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week in February, followed by her appearance for Lebanese couturier Elie Saab in Paris in March. Her success is a testament to her hard work, dedication, and talent, which have earned her a well-deserved place in the fashion world's spotlight.
Al-Zuhair is a rising star in the modeling industry, and her latest campaign for Prada is just the beginning of what is sure to be a successful career. She is an inspiration to young Saudi women, showing them that they can achieve their dreams while staying true to their values. Her love for Saudi Arabia is evident, and she is proud to see the country's progress under the current leadership.
