Styled Archives: Magda’s Most Memorable Moments
Magda perfectly embodied the sleek, tailored style that defined 1960s fashion, often donning structured purses, polished sets and A-line dresses.
Magda El-Sabahi, known to most simply as Magda, was one of Egypt’s most celebrated actresses. Rising to prominence in the 1950s and 60s, she played an array of poignant roles in films like ‘Al Morahqeen,’ ‘Ayn Omry,’ and ‘Banat Al Youm’. Off-screen, Magda’s style was a reflection of the era she lived in—polished, structured, and effortless. She favored tailored knee-length dresses and sharp lines, balanced by softer elements like florals and delicate prints. In short, her wardrobe was a careful blend of simple silhouettes and colourways, making her a style icon of her time.
