For Maram Elbeshouty, style is not just about putting together outfits—it’s a language of self-expression, confidence, and empowerment. A scroll through her Instagram, reveals a creative mind deeply in tune with both the rhythm of fashion and the emotional lives of her audience. Her styling isn’t about chasing trends blindly; it’s about telling stories, embracing individuality, and celebrating where one comes from.
Maram’s love affair with fashion began early, sparked by the simple joy of playing dress-up and watching how the right outfit could completely shift a person’s energy. “Since childhood, I’ve been drawn to the way clothing can tell a story and transform confidence,” she shares. What started as a passion project, styling friends and family, evolved into a professional journey when she realised the transformative power fashion had, not just on her, but on the people around her.
But stepping into the fashion world as an influencer and stylist in the Middle East came with its unique challenges. For Maram, one of the most consistent balancing acts has been fusing modern fashion language with traditional values. “The Middle East is rich in tradition, and navigating that while staying current requires sensitivity and innovation,” she says. Her answer? Embracing modest fashion with style. Through her work, she proves that covering up can be just as bold, expressive, and elegant as any runway trend.
This ability to combine elegance with approachability has made her a trusted name in the regional fashion community. Maram’s collaborations reflect this careful duality, her understanding of culture and her hunger for experimentation. She recalls one collaboration vividly, styling a debut collection for a local designer. “Being part of the process from sketch to runway was incredibly rewarding,” she says. “It reminded me how collaborative fashion truly is.”
At the heart of Maram’s work is her digital platform, which she describes as more than just a page, it’s a mission. “I wanted to create a space where fashion lovers could feel represented,” she explains. “It’s about empowering individuals to embrace their personal style, no matter their size, background, or budget.” For her, fashion is self-love stitched into fabric.
Her approach to styling is as empathetic as it is practical. Maram is known for taking the time to understand her clients not just aesthetically, but emotionally. She begins each styling journey by listening—to their insecurities, inspirations, goals, and daily lives. From there, she curates looks that elevate their personality while flattering their form. “It’s about making them feel seen, beautiful, and comfortable in their own skin,” she says.
One of her most creatively challenging yet rewarding projects pushed her to think outside the usual fashion framework. Tasked with styling an editorial shoot using only vintage and sustainable pieces, Maram had to turn limitations into opportunities. “It challenged my creativity because I had to think beyond trends and focus on storytelling through texture, history, and limited resources,” she reflects. The result? One of her favourite projects to date, and a testament to her growing commitment to sustainable fashion.
Maram’s cultural heritage remains a core influence in her styling. “I draw inspiration from traditional fabrics, silhouettes, and motifs,” she explains. “Incorporating regional elements into modern looks is my way of honouring where I come from while pushing fashion forward.” In a world where cultural identity is often diluted, her commitment to weaving heritage into her work feels quietly revolutionary.
When asked how she balances her own personal aesthetic with client expectations, Maram’s response is thoughtful. “My priority is always the client’s vision,” she says. “The magic happens when we find that perfect blend of their taste and my guidance.” Her work proves that style isn’t about ego, it’s about synergy.
Staying current in an ever-changing industry demands effort, but Maram makes it look effortless. She stays on top of global fashion shows, emerging designers, street style, and digital trend forecasts, yet never loses sight of her audience’s preferences. Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest are more than mood boards for her; they are real-time barometers of taste, aspiration, and cultural shifts.
Maram Elbeshouty is redefining what it means to be a stylist in the Middle East. She is a creative, a mentor, a cultural curator, and above all, a believer in the power of fashion to make people feel seen. Her work stands at the intersection of modesty and modernity, tradition and trend, elegance and edge. In a world constantly shifting, she remains rooted in purpose, using fashion not just to dress bodies, but to uplift souls.
