Naika is currently having her moment – and she’s bringing the UAE along for the ride.
The French-Haitian singer and artist is currently on her Eclesia Tour across North America, and she’s been spotted donning an Emirati fashion label on stage.
Wearing a Dubai-based fashion house ONORI, founded by Sharifa AlSharif AlHashemi, the 28-year-old rocked a standout piece from the brand – a sweeping feather coat in a yellow hue.
For those unfamiliar with ONORI, Naika (and GRAZIA) is here to introduce you. Launched in 2024, the label has quickly established itself as one of the GCC’s most exciting emerging names.
From being stocked on Ounass to being shortlisted at the Fashion Trust Arabia 2025 awards, and now the look of choice for one of pop’s most talked about performers right now, it’s clear ONORI is on the rise.
The brand’s DNA is instantly recognisable in the piece Naika wore, particularly the unapologetic femininity amongst the pieces designed by Sharifa that has become the ONORI signature.
The Emirati designer herself has spoken openly about creating pieces for bold women who aren’t afraid of a statement – and that’s the exact synergy Naika shares with the brand.
Naika herself has become well-known in the region following her two-year relationship with Palestinian-Algerian rapper Saint Levant – one of the Arab world’s biggest musical exports.
The pair famously went on their first date in Riyadh in 2023. Following this, the pair became one of the most followed couples in the regional music scene before announcing their breakup in September 2025.
But regardless, Naika has established herself in the region in her own right, having performed at festivals including Dubai’s MOTB Festival and Soundstorm in Saudi Arabia.
And now, choosing an Emirati label for her biggest tour to date, then, feels less like a coincidence and more like loyalty to the region – and we love to see it.
