Dalal Abdel Aziz was a beloved Egyptian actress whose talent and humour illuminated the Arab entertainment scene for decades. Born on January 15, 1960, she captivated audiences with her memorable performances in TV dramas, theatre, and films, always lighting up the screen with her cheerful demeanour and signature smile. Notable roles in Sabea Gar, Al Nawm Fi Al Asal, Nelly w Sherihan, and Taslim Ahaly showcased her penchant for light comedy, especially in maternal roles in her later years. She frequently collaborated with her daughters, Dounia and Amy Samir Ghanem, as well as her iconic husband, Samir Ghanem.

In addition to her acting prowess, Abdel Aziz had a strong sense of fashion that matched her vibrant personality. She favoured bold colours and elegant designs, balancing tradition with a contemporary edge. Whether on the red carpet or at a social event, her style always struck a perfect balance—mixing elements like boxy silhouettes with intricate embroidery or pairing padded shoulders with ornate embellishments.
