Styled Archives: Lebanese Superstar Nicole Saba's Most Memorable Looks

More than just a Danish experience, Lebanese pop sensation and Y2K ‘IT’ girl Nicole Saba captivated the hearts of many across the MENA region with her provocative music videos, and playful yet daring fashion sensibility – a powerful representation of femininity. Long before starring in classic Egyptian films, Saba was a member of the first all-female Lebanese pop group The Four Cats, aka the Spice Girls of the Arab world, who dominated the early 00s with their charismatic personas.
