Today, October 21, the Lebanese star posted a series of photos from the El Gouna Festival, where she is seen wearing a leopard print dress with a side opening.

She captioned her post, “What makes the El Gouna Film Festival unique are the nightly after-parties. They’re not ordinary events; they’re a festival in themselves.”
