Exclusive Interview with Saudi Influencer Bayan Omar: Entertainment, Fashion, and More!

Saudi Influencer Reveals Favorites and Least-Favorites in Entertainment, Fashion, and Life

DUBAI: Get ready to dive into the world of a Saudi influencer as she shares her top picks and misses in entertainment, fashion, and life. 

Best TV Show/Film You’ve Ever Seen?

“Friends.” This series with its authentic cast is a standout, resonating even with our own culture. For instance, I see a bit of Rachel in a friend here in Saudi Arabia, both in looks and personality.

Worst TV Show/Film You’ve Ever Seen?

There are plenty, but one that sticks out is “Tusk.” A regrettable idea with subpar animation.

Best Personal Style Moment So Far?

The dress I wore when I was nominated for the Best Content Creator Award in Dubai in 2022. That white dress was a hit. Also, every year at MDLBeast (Soundstorm) in Saudi Arabia, I go all out with my outfit, makeup, and hair.

Worst Personal Style Moment?

I don’t recall having one. I always wear what I feel comfortable in and love the style I create from scratch.

Best Accessory for a Little Black Dress?

Gold. It adds a touch of elegance and ties the whole look together beautifully.

Worst Accessory for a Little Black Dress?

Silver. Not a fan of how it looks on me or how it complements my skin tone. Gold is my go-to choice.

Best Fashion Trend of 2024?

I’m loving the resurgence of olive green and denim skirts. Bringing back forgotten trends feels nostalgic and exciting.

Worst Fashion Trend of 2024?

The neon trend. It may grab attention, but it distracts from the overall look, taking away the spotlight from your hair and face.

Best Advice You’ve Ever Been Given?

“Age is just a number.” Wise words from my grandma, who exuded youthfulness till the end. Age is all about how you feel inside.

Worst Advice You’ve Ever Been Given?

“There’s an Arabic saying: ‘Eat what you like and wear what people like.’” I strongly disagree with this advice. Your style should reflect your personality and interests, not just what pleases others.

Best Book You’ve Ever Read?

“The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F***.” This book resonated with my thoughts and beliefs, giving me a sense of validation.

Worst Book You’ve Ever Read?

Every book teaches you something, so I don’t have a worst one in mind.

Best Holiday Destination?

Los Angeles and Amsterdam. These cities feel like home to me – laid-back and simple.

Worst Holiday Destination?

Istanbul. The unfriendly and aggressive vibe from the locals made my experience there less enjoyable.
