Styled Archives: Egypt’s Sweetheart Madiha Kamel

Born in 1948, the late actress Madiha Kamel was a beacon of beauty and talent in the Egyptian film industry. Although she acted for several years, she gained the most recognition for her first starring role in the film ‘El-Soud Ela Al-Hawia.’ Kamel's on-screen charm in films like ‘Al Gaheem’ and ‘Azwag Ta'eshoon’ shone brightly alongside cinematic legends such as Adel Imam, Mahmoud Abdelaziz, Mahmoud Yassin, and Naglaa Fathi.

While her acting prowess is celebrated in Egypt and the Arab world, Kamel was also a fashion icon. Known for her love of mini dresses, plunging necklines, and the occasional frill, Kamel embraced daring yet feminine fashion choices, often incorporating ruffles, subtle embroidery, and florals into her wardrobe. 

For this week’s Styled Archives, we’re revisiting Madiha Kamel’s most memorable looks.
