Summary
Welcome back to the SheerLuxe Middle East Podcast – and to our final episode of the year. Hebah Baker and Talar Bilemjian join Tamara Jabi. The three get into the region’s fashion momentum – from Dubai Fashion Week’s guest designer Alberta Ferretti to Riyadh Fashion Week opening with Vivienne Westwood and closing with Stella McCartney – before spotlighting the emerging names they’re loving, including Dubai favourite Emergency Room and its new Timberland collab. They also unpack the retail launches set to shake up 2026, from Ulta Beauty and Primark landing in the region to a clever “portable ATM” service that feels peak-Dubai convenient. There’s chat about what they’re watching (and avoiding), what they’re wearing, and the fashion finds heading straight into their carts. They also run through the cultural openings you can’t miss – including Abu Dhabi’s Natural History Museum – the latest celebrity chatter, and the broader Ozempic/body-positivity conversation. Finally, they share the products they can’t live without right now, from Kosas’s colour-correcting concealer to a portable red-light panel and Cymbiotika’s supplement sachets.
