The fashion show

Saudi Arabia, traditionally known for its strict conservatism, hosted its first-ever swimsuit fashion show on Friday, May 17. The event, showcasing designs by Moroccan designer Yasmina Qanzal, marked a notable cultural shift in the kingdom.

The fashion show featured primarily one-piece swimsuits in shades of beige, red, and blue. Many models had exposed shoulders, and some displayed partially visible midriffs.
