Best Red Carpet looks from El Gouna Film Festival so far

In its fourth edition, El Gouna Film Festival kicked off with an opening ceremony on the 23^rd of October, bringing together finest names of Arab cinema. The festival, which opened in Egypt’s Red Sea Resort, will be ongoing until Saturday the 31^st of October, and will showcase 63 films divided in different categories.

On the red carpet, luxury met style in many looks, making us go back in time to all the red carpets we have missed this year due to the coronavirus pandemic in the world. However, the festival respected social distancing restrictions, and rules were strictly followed, in addition to limiting the number of attendees to each film, compared to last year’s festival.

Stars chose stunning outfits reviving the red carpet with their glamorous looks. While some chose classic gowns, others mixed traditional with trendy details. Here are the looks we fell in love with on the red carpet during the first and second days of the festival.
