Nador – Actress Leslie Bibb arrived at the Screen Actors Guild Awards wearing a striking gown by Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi, drawing attention not only for its elegance but also for what it represents: the growing global presence of Middle Eastern fashion.
Bibb’s look featured a shimmering, sculpted silhouette from Ashi Studio, the Paris-based couture house known for its architectural designs and refined craftsmanship.
The gown balanced modern glamour with timeless sophistication, standing out among the evening’s many celebrity looks while maintaining a sense of understated elegance.
Founded by Mohammed Ashi, Ashi Studio has steadily built an international reputation in haute couture.
The designer, originally from Saudi Arabia, has become known for creating bold yet graceful pieces that celebrate structure, texture, and detail.
His creations have been worn by global stars including Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Penélope Cruz, helping introduce wider audiences to the artistry emerging from the region.
Ashi reached a historic milestone in 2023 when he became the first designer from the Gulf region invited as a guest member of the Fédération de la Haute Couture in Paris, one of fashion’s most exclusive institutions.
The achievement marked a turning point not only for his career but also for regional designers seeking recognition within the traditional centers of high fashion.
With each international appearance, Ashi Studio continues to bridge cultures, bringing Middle Eastern creativity to some of the world’s most-watched events.
As cameras flashed and the awards celebrated cinematic achievements, Bibb’s look served as a reminder that fashion, like film, tells a story, one of identity, craftsmanship, and cultural exchange now reaching audiences far beyond its origins
