Tara Emad Cairo’s High-Fashion Muse with Cinematic Depth Graceful, grounded, and globally chic – Tara Emad is a rare blend of high-fashion refinement and screen presence. Born in Cairo to an Egyptian father and Montenegrin mother, Tara’s multicultural roots shine through in her poise and perspective. She began her career in fashion at just 14 and quickly rose to become one of Egypt’s most sought-after models. But Tara didn’t stop at runways – she leapt into acting with standout performances in both film and television. A strong advocate for women’s rights and mental health awareness, Tara’s elegance lies not only in her beauty but in her voice. Her style is graceful and architectural – whether in vintage couture or sharp tailoring, she wears jewellery not as ornament, but as expression. Tara Emad is a modern Egyptian icon, and a radiant fit for The Book of Beauty’s Simply Jewellery tribute. Summer Shesha Saudi Arabia’s Serene Star on the Rise Actress, creative force, and cultural bridge, Summer Shesha is part of the vanguard reshaping the narrative around Saudi women in cinema. With grace, strength, and modern elegance, she represents a new chapter for Saudi storytelling. Born and raised in Jeddah, Summer studied at King Abdulaziz University and then in Los Angeles, where she immersed herself in acting, screenwriting, and visual art. Her work has been featured in independent films, regional series, and as part of Saudi Arabia’s burgeoning film scene. Her public appearances – from the Red Sea Film Festival to fashion events – are marked by quiet sophistication. She is often styled in flowing abayas or sleek couture, paired with statement jewellery that honours heritage while signalling change. Summer Shesha stands at the intersection of art and identity – a beautiful spirit poised for a global stage. Simply Abu Dhabi | 177
