DUBAI: The Saudi beauty content creator talks styling, travel, and trends.
Best TV show or film you've ever seen?
'Breaking Bad.' It's an absolute masterpiece with thrilling twists, unforgettable characters and brilliant writing that kept me hooked from start to finish.
Worst TV show or film you've ever seen?
'The Room.' It was honestly hard to get through because of the awkward acting and the storyline that did not make sense at all to me.

Best personal style moment so far?
My green outfit at the Make Up For Ever event during Ramadan was definitely a standout. I feel like the rich color of the dress really captured my personality and made me feel so confident and elegant.
Worst personal style moment?
Honestly, I can't think of one. I always take time to choose outfits that make me feel confident and comfortable in my own skin.
Best accessory for a little black dress?
A pair of bold statement earrings. A sleek, structured clutch can also instantly elevate the look while keeping it chic and sophisticated.

Worst accessory for a little black dress?
Anything overly flashy can distract from the elegance of the dress and throw off the entire vibe.
Best fashion trend of 2025?
Classic suits. I love them. They're so powerful and timeless. They give off an effortlessly elegant look that works for so many occasions.
Worst fashion trend of 2025?
I hate neon colors. They can be too loud and difficult to style in a way that feels polished or flattering.

Best advice you've ever been given?
'Be open to new ideas.' Personal and professional growth starts with curiosity and the willingness to evolve. It's something I strive for every day.
Worst advice you've ever been given?
'Don't try too hard.' If you're passionate about something, you should give it your all without holding back.
Best book you've ever read?
'The Four Agreements' (by Don Miguel Ruiz). It's such a powerful life-changing read that shifted my mindset and helped me find more inner peace.
A post shared by GHALIAH ALSHARIF (@ghalya.mu)
Worst book you've ever read?
'The Secret.' Yes, the intentions were positive, but I just found it overly simplistic and lacking practical depth.
Best thing to do when you're feeling low?
I love to write down my thoughts and emotions. It really helps me process what I'm going through and gently releases any negativity I might be holding on to.
Worst thing to do when you're feeling good?
Procrastinate. It can really ruin any positive momentum and just leave you feeling like you haven't accomplished anything.
Best holiday destination?
Bali. It's incredibly peaceful, visually stunning, and has this unique spiritual energy that always makes me feel inspired.
A post shared by GHALIAH ALSHARIF (@ghalya.mu)
Worst holiday destination?
Honestly, I've been lucky so far. Every trip I have taken has offered something memorable and enjoyable. I learn a lot from each trip.
Best subject at school?
Art. It allowed me to express myself creatively and tap into my imagination in a way that felt natural and fulfilling.
Worst subject at school?
Math. I never really clicked with numbers, and it always felt more like a challenge than something I actually enjoyed.
Best thing to do to ensure you have a productive day?
Start the day with a clear plan and an organized mindset. It makes a huge difference in staying focused and achieving your goals.
Worst thing to do when trying to be productive?
Scrolling through social media. It's such a time drain and makes it harder to gain focus again.
