Music’s leading ladies turn to red carpet winner Yousef Al-Jasmi
CLOSE UP
US singer Nicole Scherzinger was spotted on “Australia’s Got Talent” this week wearing a sparkling gown by Hollywood’s new favorite designer, Yousef Al-Jasmi.
Scherzinger chose a fitted glittering gown in a summery shade of yellow by the Kuwaiti designer, complete with a halter neck top and a thigh-high slit.
She paired the daring look with orange-hued lipstick, side swept hair and added a number of gold rings for good measure. Scherzinger wasn’t the only star to be spotted in a Yousef Al-Jasmi creation in recent days, however. Canadian superstar Celine Dion teased the cover of her soon-to-be released album “Courage” — and she just happens to be wearing a dazzling design by Al-Jasmi in the photo. Dion even performed in a similar outfit by the designer — a copper toned, form-fitting number with a skirt that curves away to only cover one leg.
And those singing legends aren’t the only celebrities to step out in a design by Al-Jasmi as of late — US actress Keke Palmer rocked up to the
MTV VMAs in Los Angeles in August wearing a sunny yellow column gown by the king of all things sparkly. Popularized by the Kardashian clan, Al-Jasmi shot to fame for his mastery of formfitting eveningwear. In April, the Kardashian family celebrated eldest sister Kourtney’s 40th birthday and Khloe collaborated with the designer. Khloe and her stylist Janelle Miller worked with the designer, known for his extensive use of Swarovski crystals, to create a dazzling column dress with a high collar and matching headpiece.
Al-Jasmi spoke to People magazine about the head-turning outfit and valued the gown at $6,500.
“Both Khloe and Janelle were very involved, sending over screenshots from my Instagram and inspiration photos to work off of. They knew the exact look they wanted to achieve, so we worked very closely to perfect the design, from the color to crystals.”
And he seems to have fans across the Kardashian-Jenner clan, as Khloe’s half-sister Kylie Jenner has been spotted in Al-Jasmi’s creations on numerous occasions.
The queens of reality TV aside, the Kuwait-based style guru has won over many more leading ladies — Naomi Campbell wore a daring minidress by Al-Jasmi to a Halloween party in New York in October 2018 and singer Mariah Carey chose a black, embellished dress from his collection for last year’s American Music Awards. If those stars aren’t enough to prove Al-Jasmi is a force to be reckoned with, he has also dressed the likes of Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez.
