The secret's out – Stella McCartney to close out Riyadh Fashion Week in style
The designer’s runway debut in Saudi Arabia is expected to be a showstopper
Fashion lovers, get ready. All eyes will be on Riyadh this week as Riyadh Fashion Week gears up for its third edition from Thursday October 16 to Tuesday October 21.
The capital is hosting its most ambitious season yet, featuring over 30 runway shows and presentations across six days, opening with Vivienne Westwood and culminating with a closing show by none other than Stella McCartney.
It’s a fitting finale to a week that’s set to redefine the region’s fashion landscape. McCartney will present her first show in Saudi Arabia on the final day (Tuesday October 21), showcasing a special edit of recent collections alongside archival pieces, bringing her conscious luxury vision to the Kingdom.

It was also announced early this week that Riyadh Fashion Week will feature presentations from Vivienne Westwood in collaboration with Art of Heritage by Princess Noura Al Faisal, plus a seriously impressive line-up of Saudi designers. Think couture magic from Tima Abid and Atelier Hekayat, sustainable cool from Abadia, sleek contemporary looks by Hindamme, and bold streetwear vibes from Noble & Fresh and 1886.
From haute couture and runway glamour to ready-to-wear and street-style edge, this year’s mix proves one thing: Saudi fashion is having its moment – and it’s here to stay.
In its third installment, Riyadh Fashion Week is now well established in the region, but this year is the first time the official calendar is open to international brands.
Thinking of snagging a front-row seat? We hate to break it to you but the shows are strictly invite-only. Fashion enthusiasts can visit Riyadh Fashion Week’s website to watch a live stream of the runway shows.
