SELECTS: A Week in the Life of Egyptian Rising Star Yasmina El Abd

El Abd gives Scene Styled an intimate look at her personal style, shaped by her fast-paced lifestyle in the limelight.
In just a few short years, Egyptian actress and rising star Yasmina El Abd has built a cinematic presence that stands out, especially at the young age of 18. From her breakout role as Zeina in the hit Netflix series 'Finding Ola', to her performances in the Ramadan 2024 series 'Massar Egbari' and the family drama 'Mawdoo' 'Aeli', El Abd has demonstrated a remarkable range, refusing to be confined to a singular persona or role.
In Ramadan 2025, El Abd shone alongside Amina Khalil, Ahmed El Saadany, Youssra El Lozy, and Mohamed Shahin in 'Lam Shamseya', delivering her most nuanced performance yet—one that resonated deeply with Egyptian audiences.
Yet, whether she's walking the red carpet or sharing a candid moment on social media, her fashion choices reflect a playful and refined aesthetic. 'With fashion, I tend to lean more towards classic styles, but whenever I do something different, I embrace the moment, because you always have to try different things.' Yasmina El Abd tells SceneStyled.
In this exclusive edition of Scene Styled Selects, Yasmina El Abd curates a capsule wardrobe, virtually taking us through a week in her life, sharing insights into her personal style, and the thought process behind her favourite pieces.

Karim Shaaban's 'Ya Hammam' — Upper Egypt Folklore meets the Digital Underground

Egyptian director and creative force Karim Shaaban has just launched his latest musical project, "Ya Hammam,' now available on YouTube, radio, and all digital streaming platforms. The song is distributed by Digital Sound. This unique track blends Egyptian folklore with electronic music, drawing from Karim's deeply personal and emotional vision of Egypt. The song also opens his short film "I DON'T CARE IF THE WORLD COLLAPSES", which had its world premiere at the 2024 Cleveland International Film Festival, marking a seamless artistic fusion between sound and image in building a singular world. In crafting "Ya Hammam", Karim collaborated with artists Sayed Rekaby and Fadi Garas. Together, they fused the rich vocal tones of Upper Egypt's Jaafari folkloric tradition with contemporary electronic soundscapes, resulting in a sonic experience that seamlessly merges nostalgia with modernity. The music video for "Ya Hammam", directed by Karim Shaaban himself, bears the signature visual language that has defined his previous works — a portrayal of Egypt as he experiences it. The short film "I DON'T CARE IF THE WORLD COLLAPSES", starring actress Salma Abu Deif, explores the quiet yet intense conflict that arises when professional obligations collide with personal emergencies. Rather than dramatizing the struggle, the film reflects on it subtly and introspectively. This introspective vision is also evident in Karim Shaaban's debut feature film "6 Days", starring Ahmed Malek and Aya Samaha, and written by Wael Hamdy. The film takes the form of a silent visual diary, expressing Karim's artistic philosophy that true beauty lies in fleeting, often overlooked moments. Whether through the song "Ya Hammam", the film "6 Days", or his latest cinematic work, Karim Shaaban continues to present Egypt through a deeply personal and singular lens.

ZULI Builds on the 'Lambada' Universe with New EP 'Care'

Built between Cairo and Berlin, ZULI's Care dives deeper into the soundscape of 2024's Lambda, blending R&B mutations, field recordings, and ambient fragments into four dense, layered tracks. Jun 22, 2025 Berlin-based Egyptian producer ZULI releases 'Care', a four-track EP that expands the his 2024's LP 'Lambda'. Developed between Cairo and Berlin, the release includes two original tracks and two reimaginings, offering a study in melancholy, detail, and immersive storytelling. The lead track, 'Care', opens with a field recording of ZULI tapping an unplugged guitar. A sudden street fight in Cairo, accidentally captured in the background, forms part of its atmospheric core. The result is a piece equally rooted in restraint and intensity. 'Elysian Blue' continues the textural approach of 'Lambda', using minimalist melody and drifting ambience to conjure emotional residue. The EP also includes a remix of 'Ast' (feat. Coby Sey), with Berlin's Ludwig Wandinger reshaping its R&B DNA into something soulful, surreal, and dream-like.
