We know what you were doing last night…or let’s rephrase that. We know what you were doing last night from about 6:30-ish because literally everyone on Egyptian soil was glued in front of their TV’s, anticipating the Golden Mummy Parade. And we’ve all had good reason because, well, that kind of thing just doesn’t happen every day.
But as we watched the parade, you know what stood out to us? The musician as she expertly played her timpani drums. Also standing out was the hostess in her pharaonic-inspired dress. We couldn’t help but also be dazzled by many more–the list just goes on to include so many people, it’s unreal!
And you know what do all of these people share? The fact that they’re all Egyptian women and that, without them, this event wouldn’t have been what it was! And because of that, we just couldn’t not highlight them all here to give them the spotlight they deserve.
Jasmine Zaki, Aya Ghariani, and Nardine Farag
Naturally, we cannot just begin to talk about how the night went without talking about our hostesses! And these ladies here simply killed it, with their natural ease, dresses fitting the theme, and charm.
Radwa El-Beheiry
There’s one person who caught our eyes the most in the orchestra and that, of course, is none other than timpanist Radwa El-Beheiry, as she effortlessly and artfully played her timpani drums and all but wowed us.
Salma Sorour
Violin soloist Salma Sorrour was another musical highlight that simply stole the scene when she got up for her solo and we couldn’t have had it another way.
The other women of the orchestra
It’s true that not every one of these musically-talented women got to have their moment in the sun but we still saw them and, more importantly, we still heard them. And the show wouldn’t have been the same without them!
Amira Selim
A soprano with a voice of gold, Amira Selim could easily say that she made our night because she literally has. With her in charge, the hymn for Isis that she sang from the Book of the Dead has been stuck in our heads for all the right reasons.
Riham Abdelhakim and Nesma Mahgoub
Two of the three singers of the night, we can’t say that these two songstresses didn’t give it their all with one of them even fully embracing her curls to boot!
Azza Fahmy
Another woman whose efforts weren’t unseen was Azza Fahmy with her expansive selection of jewelry wrapping up the looks of Mona Zaki and Nelly Karim nicely!
Mai Galal
If you loved the styling you’ve seen on some stars of last night’s parade, you have Mai Galal to thank for all of that! With her sheer talent and creative eye, she added her touch to the event and made it unforgettable.
Temraza and Nour Azazy
If there’s one thing we couldn’t stop talking about last night, it was the costumes and the dresses from the dress of the night worn by Jasmine Zaki and Nelly Karim’s showstopper (Nour Azazy) and the breathtaking pieces we saw on the singer trio (Temraza)!
Yousra, Mona Zaki, and Nelly Karim
How can we forget our dazzling actresses, of course? They came in and stole the show with their elegance and grace. Mona Zaki even more so with her essentially initiating the Golden Parade!
The dancers
Expertly directed, the dancers simply brought their A-game for the Golden Parade and we’re still a bit in awe in the best sort of way. With the dancers coordinating their dances across different provinces, though, this makes total sense.
Miral Mahilian and the women of the mummy procession
Essentially the face of the parade, Miral Mahilian as well as the women following her in the mummy procession made sure to leave their mark on the night.
The women of the backstage
Yes, we can’t forget to highlight these women either. The ones toiling with the accessorizing department, the organizers, and all the women who helped in all the different areas of the parade without making it on film, have also aided in making it what it was.
