Catapulting Riyadh as a new fashion capital in the Middle East, Riyadh Fashion Week (RFW) has been nothing short of statement-making and groundbreaking — and the FROW themselves can prove it.

With the launch of the second edition of Riyadh Fashion Week, which took place on October 17 to October 21, 2024, regional A-listers made their way to the creative hotspots of the locale dressed down to the T.

As regional brands showed their finesse on the runway, so did the famous faces attending the five-day event.

Bringing you the who’s who, GRAZIA shares with you the celebrities and familiar faces spotted at the front row in Riyadh Fashion Week.
