Farhana Bodi was born in India and raised in South Africa, and she has called Dubai home since 2008. She enrolled in a makeup school at 17 and by 19 she was working as a makeup artist and model. In 2011 she appeared on Paris Hilton's Dubai BFF, her first taste of reality television. She speaks four languages, including Hindi and Arabic, so every city she visits feels familiar.
Her platform I Woman of the World was created as a stage for women launching their own ventures and brands. Then came Netflix. Dubai Bling premiered on October 27, 2022, and she was part of the third season in January 2025. Today she is a fashion entrepreneur and one of the most recognizable faces of Dubai glamour.
Farhana Bodi Owns the Cannes Red Carpet
Cannes keeps bringing out her boldest fashion moments. In 2025 she hit opening night in a custom blush pink gown by Atelier Zuhra with sculptural ruffles, and she happily called it her "bling Barbie moment." A year later she came back even bolder. Her 2026 look was an icy blue gown with a hood, covered in thousands of Swarovski crystals applied by hand and reportedly weighing 15 kilograms.
The jewellery inspired by Kazakh ornamentation took over 8,000 hours of workmanship, and the dress reportedly needed a full year to complete. Days later she joined the Roberto Cavalli dinner at Annex Beach, and in July she headed to Paris for the Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture show. Subtle has never been her style, and honestly, nobody wants it to be.
Fayore Brings Jet Set Sparkle to Summer
In June 2025 she unveiled Fayore, a resort glam label that turns her love of travel into fashion. The debut collection pairs shimmering crystal fabrics with dreamy drapes, and the silhouettes are made for a golden hour boat brunch that slides into a rooftop party at midnight. The mood travels from Dubai all the way to Saint Tropez, and the pieces are designed to shine so brightly that accessories become optional. The label speaks to the woman who arrives and owns the moment. After wearing so many incredible gowns by other designers, seeing her put her own creative stamp on resort fashion feels like a perfectly natural next chapter.
Patricia Gloria Contreras Brings Italian Glamour and Mexican Fire
With Farhana is the gorgeous Patricia Gloria Contreras, a Mexican Italian actress and television host with a modeling résumé that sounds like a fashion dream. Born in Morelia, Michoacán, she started modeling at 16 and placed third in an E! Entertainment competition in Mexico City.
Milan came next, where she worked with Italian names such as Armani and Vogue Gioiello. Viewers in Italy know her from the series Il Commissario Rex and Non è stato mio figlio, the latter alongside Gabriel Garko. She is also known for The Lady and its sequel. Red carpets are familiar territory for her too, from Cannes in 2018 to Venice in 2024, and back to Cannes for a screening in May 2026.
Zainab Razavy Is the Beauty Mind Behind AyshGlamm Academy
Also with Farhana is the amazing Zainab Razavy, founder of AyshGlamm Academy. Her academy, based in the Paris region, has been running since 2017 and teaches professional makeup alongside wedding planning. Students also learn chignon hairstyling and how to master their own everyday look.
There is even Ayshpro, a half day course for anyone who wants to sharpen their skills. Her Paris brand family also includes a shop and event business, so her talent shows up wherever beauty and celebration meet. Standing in the middle of the group, she looked every bit the glamour expert her academy's name promises.
Farhana Bodi and the Girls Night That Stopped Traffic
Now for the part everyone has been waiting for. Picture a night out on a quiet stone street with a warm red awning glowing in the background. Three friends walk arm in arm, laughing and chatting as heads turn around them. Each outfit tells its own story, yet together they look like a perfectly styled editorial.
Patricia sets the tone in a voluminous black coat with a plush fur texture, worn over a sparkling black mini and sheer tights. Metallic pointed heels add a touch of shine, and a sleek black handbag rests in her hand as she strides forward with total confidence.
Zainab, on the other hand, wears her black velvet top has a sweetheart neckline and a keyhole cutout, and it meets light wash wide leg jeans that give the whole look a relaxed and effortless feeling. Her honey blonde waves fall past her shoulders, and a small gold bag dangles from her fingers like the perfect finishing touch.
Farhana closes the line on the right with a polished edge. She wears a black leather jacket over a top with a bow at the neckline, and frayed white shorts add a playful twist to the sheer tights. Her hair is pulled back sleekly to show off her face, and pointed black heels complete the look.
Plush fur on one end and sleek leather on the other frame a velvet centerpiece, and the sidewalk feels like a runway. Girls nights rarely look this ravishing, and Farhana Bodi knows how to pick her company.
