Zainab Al Yakoob
About this episode

Fashion is all fun and games… until someone tells you to “dress more feminine.” This week, we’re sitting down with Fajer @fajeroriginals —model, stylist, and expert at making any outfit her own—to talk about confidence, self-expression, and navigating fashion in a region where everyone has an opinion. We’re getting into the pressure to be “ladylike,” the most unhinged comments she’s ever gotten, and whether the region is finally embracing more diverse fashion choices. Plus, we put Fajer’s fashion takes to the test in a rapid-fire round of Hot or Rot! All this and more in this week’s episode!
