Yasmine Abdelaziz’s style is as full of sha’awa as her on-screen presence—and it’s impossible to ignore.
Some actresses have a trademark style, but Yasmine Abdelaziz has a trademark presence. She’s playful, always a little mischievous, and does everything with a certified ‘sha’awa’.
With a career spanning decades that started with a few quirky commercials in the 90s, the Egyptian actress has embraced every era with a mix of charm and sass. Born in 1980, Abdelaziz evolved from the spirited girl-next-door into a household name, starring in 21st-century cult classics like Zaki Chan, Al-Dada Dodi, Hareem Karim, and Tomn Dastet Ashrar, as well as hit series like We Neheb Tany Leh and beloved stage play Keda Okay. With each role, she brings her signature wit, long, cascading locks, and that infectious, unmistakably-Yasmine-Abdelaziz laugh.
Whether she's updating classic silhouettes with a contemporary twist, or simply radiating her 'girl-next-door' ease, Abdelaziz is a connoisseur of making a statement without ever trying too hard. Her fashion sense is much like her personality—fierce and cheeky, sleek and casual, with just the right amount of dala’.
