When it comes to fashion, the first thing that comes to mind when elevating an outfit is the basics: top, pants, shoes and bag. But you should never underestimate the power of an exquisite timepiece. This is something which the Dubai fashion girlies know all too well.

A great investment that never goes out of style, we’ve unpacked which watches seven Dubai-based It-girls have been wearing. Whether you’re looking for an everyday or evening piece, or just love to admire, discover who’s wearing what, and how.

Loujain adada

We know you Cartier girls are going to love this one. Dubai Bling star Loujain Adada was recently seen adorning a large white gold Cartier Baignoire with a diamond bezel. GRAZIA has been seeing the Cartier Baignoire everywhere and we still can’t get enough. Paired elegantly with a black gown and a chunky Cartier Panthere ring, LJ knows how to style her pieces perfectly.

Natasha Aris

Natasha’s recent post of her Eid Al-Fitr celebrations at Cipriani drew our eyes to her beautiful timepiece – a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Daytona in streel and yellow gold with a white dial. Natasha wears the watch with a chic denim jumpsuit as well as a mix of yellow and white gold jewellery that goes well with her watch of choice.

Dima Sheikhly

Dima’s pick is a Charles Oudin, Rose retro watch in rose gold and a black satin strap. For those who love more dainty and feminine timepieces, you’ll love this brand. Its delicate diamond details paired with a luxurious satin strap, and often pearls, are sure to draw eyes.

Manal Hammadi

A more unique option for those Bulgari Serpenti watch lovers adorned by one of the OG Emirati fashion creators Manaal Al Hammadi. This wrap-around watch creates a cuff-like effect, paired with a steel band and black dial to compose a cool girl watch.

Ola Farahat

The perfect chic everyday watch. Ola wears an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, with a steel strap and white dial. The dial brightens a look and is paired well and easily with jeans and a t-shirt or to change into a casual dress for dinner.

Deema Al Asadi

Scrolling through Deema’s feed, it was hard for us to miss this gorgeous watch. The rose gold band of this Patek Philip Nautilus elevated this glamorous evening look, along with the white mini Kelly, creating a well-balanced ensemble. Adding this one to the wish list.

Hadba Sabagh

We spotted a steel Rolex with a Mother Of Pearl dial on Hadba. Another cool girl-approved piece. A chunkier style watch is an easy way to make your outfit instantly cooler.
