Identity and representation in the world of fashion: Tamara Suleiman Al-Harbi as an Arab role model

Tamara Suleiman Al-Harbi stands out as a face that redefines beauty from an Arab perspective in the fashion world, which has long been dominated by Western images. She is not just a model appearing in photo shoots, but represents an extension of a rich cultural identity, where tradition intersects with modernity, and femininity with strength.

Tamara does not present herself as a copy of global models, but as an independent voice that carries the features of her environment and reflects the diversity of Arab women. In her photos, you can see subtle details, a look of determination, a stance of pride, and a choice of clothes that reflects a conscious taste and not just following trends.

Her presence in this field opens the door to discussion about the true representation of Arab women in visual media, and whether we see ourselves in these images. Do they reflect us? Tamara, without raising slogans, answers these questions with her natural beauty and her presence that needs no justification.

Her participation in Rotana channel and her appearance on the “Sabah Al Saudia” program on Channel One, within a fashion show, reinforced this presence, where she presented herself as a contemporary Arab model, combining elegance and awareness, and confirming that beauty is inseparable from identity.
