Celebrity Journalist Raya Abirached Dives Into her Styled Archives

From Burberry trenches in London to pistachio Zuhair Murad at the BAFTAs, Raya Abirached walks red carpets the way most of us walk into our own bathrooms: with history, consistency, and the occasional existential debate about hair. In this episode, she cracks open the archive — the Naja Saade moment in Venice that had her floating, the Versace sample previously wrapped around Anne Hathaway, and the Saint Laurent tux she keeps on standby for days when she needs to feel sharp, sane, and definitively Raya.

The supporting cast is equally iconic: stylist Cedric Haddad with his lifelong campaign for “black dress, red lip, don’t argue”; Cartier crocodiles and double Panthère drama; a Maison Yeya Oscars gown that deserved better hair; a Marmar Halim Golden Globes look that finally got the updo memo; and the legendary Armani dress that disappeared at her hotel just as the internet prematurely declared Mr. Armani dead. Of course.

But the real story is Raya’s north star: the difference between a look that looks good and a look that feels Raya. Feminine. A touch risqué. Unbothered, unforced, ultra chic — and always comfortable enough to host a show, sprint through an airport, and still deliver every line like she means it.
