A glitzy event…
The Joy Awards – part of Riyadh Season – is hosted by the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) and organised in partnership with MBC Group. It is billed as the Middle East’s largest ceremony to recognise and honour Arab artists, celebrities, and social media personalities for their achievements.
Taking place at the Bakr Al-Sheddi Theatre in Boulevard Riyadh City last night (Saturday January 21), the third edition of the event brought together popular faces from across the entertainment industry. It was also an occasion for celebrities to bring their fashion A-game, pulling out all the stops on the lavender carpet.
