January 24, 2024- Elie Saab Couture SS24 “A Desert Rose”
As Paris’ Couture Week unfurled its grand tapestry, Elie Saab‘s Spring/Summer 2024 Couture Collection emerged as a celestial ode to the complex beauty of North Africa’s medinas. The Lebanese designer, famed for his elegance, orchestrated a mesmerizing show that captivated none other than superstar Jennifer Lopez, infusing the Palais de Tokyo with a touch of Hollywood glamour.
Elie Saab’s SS24 Collection, titled “A Desert Rose,” drew inspiration from the vibrant city of Marrakech, Morocco. The runway showcased opulent textures and a harmonious fusion of sandstone tulle, sky-like lilac, blush cloud pink, and dappled pastels. Saab’s creations testify to classic couture, with arabesque motifs adorning gilded foliage.

Breathtaking Bridal Finale
Invitees marveled at floor-sweeping chiffon and crepe gowns that seemed to defy time. The giant blush full skirt, resembling an upside-down tulip, adorned with delicately embroidered three-dimensional flowers, swept gracefully across the runway. Saab’s craftsmanship, always exquisite, reached new heights with each piece, weaving playful elements like a fusion of traditional kimono techniques with the draped elegance found in classic Arab clothing.
The grand finale, a breathtaking bridal gown with an embroidered train stretching meters long, blurred the line between showstopper and spectacle. In a sign of the evolving couture landscape, the camera-wielding guests were torn between capturing the exquisite craftsmanship and documenting Jennifer Lopez’s reactions.
Jennifer Lopez, Divine in Green
In the midst of these couture masterpieces, Jennifer Lopez’s presence in the front row became a spectacle in itself. Dressed in a green ensemble with a plunging neckline and a floor-length floral cape, Lopez brought a touch of Hollywood allure to the Parisian runway. Her sophisticated fashion choices echoed the essence of Saab’s couture creations—celestial, timeless, and undeniably glamorous.
