Sherihan Shines in Elie Saab Couture at the Grand Egyptian Museum 2025 Opening
In a historic evening that blended the grandeur of history with the allure of art, Sherihan graced the stage at the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum in 2025. After a long hiatus from live performances, the celebrated star returned to deliver a moment of brilliance and enchantment, adorned in a sophisticated design by the esteemed Elie Saab. The Lebanese designer specially created this gown for the occasion, celebrating Egypt’s magnificence and its rich heritage.
A Moment to Remember
As the stage lights illuminated, Sherihan confidently stepped forward, the sparkle of Swarovski crystals reflecting off the theater walls like stars shimmering over golden sands. In that instant, she wasn’t just a performer returning to the stage, but a living embodiment of Egypt’s rebirth. The venue fell silent before erupting in applause, as the audience realized they were witnessing a moment destined to be etched in the annals of art and fashion.
Sherihan chose a long, silver gown entirely embroidered with sparkling Swarovski crystals, reflecting light with a subtle glow, making her appear to walk on a carpet of light. The design featured a form-fitting silhouette with a train that swept the floor, long sleeves, and a geometric neckline, accentuating her refined femininity without being excessive, while maintaining the luxurious essence characteristic of Elie Saab’s renowned mastery of feminine elegance.
Sherihan completed her stunning look with platinum jewelry encrusted with diamonds. Her ensemble beautifully bridged the past and present, with the luminous dress serving as an elegant tribute to Egyptian civilization, which continues to illuminate the world. This was reflected in the balance between the refined classic cut and the modern, shimmering embroidery, visually translating the concept of eternity that Egypt has long expressed through its arts and history.
Exquisite Craftsmanship
The creation of this meticulously crafted gown required extensive hours of work. It was made from tulle woven with silver metallic threads and hand-embroidered with crystals and transparent beads. The couture dress was designed to capture light from every angle, giving the esteemed artist Sherihan a regal presence on stage without diminishing the design’s lightness and fluidity. More than just a couture gown, it is a piece of exquisite fashion that reflects the craftsmanship of Elie Saab.
Sherihan’s hairstyle featured flowing locks with front sections lifted from her face, enhancing her features with warm makeup that emphasized glowing skin and eyes defined with black liquid eyeliner, paired with generous mascara and false eyelashes. This considered simplicity made the look complete, uniting refined craftsmanship with theatrical expression in a single moment that celebrates art, fashion, and culture.
A Tribute from Elie Saab
This collaboration is a culmination of a strong bond between Lebanese creativity and Egyptian glory. Elie Saab has always considered the Arab woman a source of inspiration for his refined elegance, especially when that woman is Sherihan, a symbol of beauty and art in the memory of generations. As one attendee noted, Sherihan didn’t just wear a dress; she wore the light of Egyptian civilization.
