Lamis El Hadidi responds to the "Zara earring" controversy after her meeting with Amina Khalil

Egyptian media personality Lamis El Hadidi set social media on fire after a clip of her interview with actress Amina Khalil on the "Al-Soura" program on Al-Nahar TV went viral.

During the interview, Amina talked about her appearance at the El Gouna Film Festival, surprising the audience by saying she was wearing "Zara earrings." This surprised Lamis El Hadidi and sparked widespread reactions among followers, who were divided between those who supported her humor and those who criticized the nature of the question.

An artistic dialogue turns into a trend The clip didn't go unnoticed; within hours, it became a social media hotspot, with the hashtag "Earrings from Zara" trending on Twitter and Instagram. While some saw the situation as spontaneous and reflective of the spontaneity of conversation, others felt the question was meant to brag about brands or mock the simplicity of the outfit. As engagement mounted, Lamis El Hadidi and Amina Khalil became the subject of ongoing public debate.

Lamis El Hadidi responds to the controversy: Amina Khalil, Zara, and I are trending In her first response to the widespread comments, Lamis El Hadidi dedicated part of her next episode to discussing the incident, saying, “Amina Khalil, Zara, and I are trending, and I don’t understand why!” She emphasized that the conversation was primarily artistic and that the question about the outfit came in the context of a discussion about fashion and festivals.

Lamis explained that the question was simple and spontaneous, but that social media had exaggerated it to an exaggerated degree. She emphasized that her work as a journalist requires spontaneity and boldness in asking questions without prior consideration.

“Earrings from Zara” controversy It is noteworthy that the controversy started after the airing of the episode of the program “The Picture” in which Lamis El Hadidi hosted the artist Amina Khalil, where she asked her about the earrings she wore at the El Gouna Film Festival, and the latter replied that they were from the “Zara” brand, which surprised the media figure who commented by saying: “Amina Khalil normally wears Zara?” The artist answered her confidently: “We all wear Zara, the important thing is that the look is nice, and I can wear something expensive with something simple normally, and I repeat my clothes.”
