Dubai, UAE – One of the world's most recognisable cultural icons, Shah Rukh Khan, will receive the "Global Style Icon" award at the Dubai Mall Global Fashion Awards — cementing the event as the centrepiece of the Dubai Mall Festival of Fashion.
Taking place from 29–30 January 2026, the Dubai Mall Festival of Fashion is a landmark fashion takeover of the world's most visited mall, bringing together fashion, culture, and global influence across two extraordinary days.
Shah Rukh Khan: A Career Spanning Continents
Khan's career spans more than three decades and over 100 films, with a global box-office footprint exceeding $1 billion. Beyond cinema, he has redefined modern Indian entertainment through Red Chillies Entertainment — a production powerhouse featuring a cutting-edge VFX division — and extended his influence into sports and education through Knight Rider Sports and KidZania.
Recognised with multiple international honours and state awards, Khan commands one of the largest fan followings of any individual in the world, making him a natural choice for the Global Style Icon Award at Dubai Mall Global Fashion Awards.
What to Expect at Dubai Mall Festival of Fashion
The two-day festival is structured around two flagship experiences:
Day One features a series of ticketed masterclasses led by the world's leading figures in fashion and beauty — an intimate opportunity for industry professionals and enthusiasts to learn from the best.
Day Two culminates in a headline runway presentation followed by the awards ceremony, celebrating excellence across fashion, beauty, and cultural influence. The Global Fashion Awards ceremony will be held at the iconic Armani Hotel Dubai.
Dubai Mall: The Fashion Capital of the Middle East
Organised by Lana, the Dubai Mall Festival of Fashion positions the UAE's — and the world's — most visited retail destination as a global fashion capital. Khan's Global Style Icon Award at Dubai Mall serves as the headline moment of an event designed to draw international eyes to Dubai's cultural ambitions.
