ZUHAIR MURAD HAUTE COUTURE FW25/26 – A SHEER DESIRE

Hollywood glam, but make it power. That’s the mood Zuhair Murad @zuhairmuradofficial served at Paris Couture Week with his Fall-Winter 2025/26 collection, aptly named “A Sheer Desire.” And oh, was it sheer—in feeling, in elegance, and in bold confidence.

This season, Murad wasn’t just dressing a muse. He was rewriting her story. Inspired by the screen sirens of the 1930s and ’40s—think Barbara Stanwyck in Baby Face and Rita Hayworth in Gilda—the designer flipped the script. Instead of heroines doomed to fade under the weight of love or judgment, his muse rises, reigns, and chooses her own ending.

Old Hollywood, New Power

At its core, this collection was about reclaiming glamour. Sculpted shoulders, flowing bias cuts, and divine embroidery were just the beginning. Each piece looked like it had been dipped in cinematic magic, yet felt made for a modern queen. The palette? Everything from deep chocolate and ivory touched with gold to soft blushing pinks and moody blacks. Every hue told a story, every silhouette had a role.

And those fabrics! Velvet talked to tulle. Mousseline whispered to charmeuse. Structured tailoring mingled with airy sheerness. You could almost hear the rustle of drama as models walked by. One standout? A ball gown that looked like it was made from silk dreams but had the presence of a tuxedo. Elegant yet sharp. Feminine yet strong.

Embroidery as Armor

Of course, no Zuhair Murad show is complete without a masterclass in embroidery. And this time, it went full baroque. Pearls were not just embellishments—they were stories. Coiled around the body like constellations or lined like delicate armor. Lace transformed into damask patterns that looked straight off a movie set from golden-era cinema. A quiet nod to legendary costume designers like Edith Head and Adrian Greenburg, but with a contemporary edge.

Also worth mentioning: Murad’s commitment to ethical luxury. That dramatic fur? 100% synthetic. Still sumptuous, still glamorous—just minus the guilt.

A Couture Rebellion

In a world where classic Hollywood often silenced its most iconic women, Zuhair Murad gives them their voice back—this time louder, stronger, and dressed in floor-length wonder. His muse doesn’t just survive the story. She owns the final scene. In Murad’s world, she walks toward the credits, not broken, but blazing.

A Little About the Brand

Zuhair Murad, the Lebanese couturier loved by everyone from Beyoncé to Priyanka Chopra, has made a name for himself through unapologetically glamorous designs. Think drama, sparkle, and silhouettes made for the spotlight. But more than just gowns, his creations are celebrations of femininity—powerful, delicate, and everything in between.
