DUBAI: Tiffany Trump, the daughter of US President Donald Trump, turned heads this week in a dress by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad at the Inaugural Candlelight Dinner, hosted at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C.

Traditionally held on the eve of a US presidential inauguration, the black-tie event honors the incoming administration with an evening of celebration and speeches.

For the occasion, Tiffany, who is expecting her first child with husband Michael Boulos, chose a custom, chocolate-brown chiffon gown with an asymmetric one-shoulder neckline, and a cape-like sleeve that flowed dramatically.

The dress was cinched at the waist and highlighted by intricate draped detailing on the bodice.

On Monday morning, Tiffany and Boulos attended services at St. John’s Church in Washington, D.C., a longstanding tradition for incoming presidents and family members.

Later in the day, she joined her family at the swearing-in ceremony, which was held indoors at the Capitol Rotunda due to extreme cold weather.

She also attended the inaugural parade at the Capital One Arena and the inaugural balls that evening.

For the day’s events, she wore a velvet navy-blue coat cinched at the waist, accessorized with minimal jewelry and leather point-toed stiletto boots.

Tiffany and Boulos tied the knot in 2022. For her special day, the bride wore a custom-made Grecian-style gown by Lebanese designer-to-the-stars Elie Saab.

Tiffany chose her wedding dress as a nod to Boulos’ heritage. “It’s a Lebanese-American wedding, so we were so happy to have Elie Saab create the magic,†said mother of the bride Marla Maples at the time, according to People magazine.

Boulos is of Lebanese and French descent and grew up in Lagos where his father, Massad, runs Boulos Enterprises and is the CEO of SCOA Nigeria.

The family is also linked to the world of Hollywood through Michael’s brother Fares, who is an actor and appeared in a 2017 episode of “The Crown.â€

Boulos and Tiffany were engaged in January 2021, the day before Trump left office following defeat in the 2020 election.

Riyadh’s King Salman Park among 9 winners of RIBA architecture awards
  • ‘Vital green intervention,’ says Royal Institute of British Architects
  • Other winners include Qatar’s female-only purpose-built mosque

DUBAI: Riyadh’s King Salman Park has won the award for best Future Project at the inaugural edition of the Royal Institute of British Architects Middle East Awards, which celebrate the architectural ambition and diversity of the region.

The RIBA said in a statement on Wednesday: “Transforming a former airport into the world’s largest urban park, King Salman Park introduces a vital green intervention to the heart of Riyadh.

“Designed to enhance biodiversity, improve air quality, and promote active, healthy living, it reflects ºÚÁÏÉçÇøâ€™s Vision 2030 commitment to a more sustainable and livable future.â€

The impact of architecture to redefine how people live and connect was central to the winners.

Among them, the world’s first purpose-built female-only mosque — a groundbreaking landmark of equality and innovation located in Qatar.

It reimagines traditional spaces of worship as places for education, empowerment and community, marking a major cultural shift in the Gulf.

In Dubai, a new secondary school supporting an evolving curriculum shows how thoughtful, sustainable design can deliver lasting environmental impact.

Also, an Expo 2020 site has evolved into a vibrant civic plaza, hosting year-round events that celebrate community and cultural diversity.

Kerem Cengiz, the jury chair, said: “The winning projects reflect an architectural language that is deeply rooted in the Middle East’s evolving identity, one defined by stewardship of heritage, climate consciousness, and social transformation.

“Each shows how architecture can mediate between tradition and progress: preserving memory while embracing innovation.

“Collectively, they express a profound belief that design can honor culture, empower communities, and nurture a sustainable future for the Middle East.â€

The award winners will be celebrated during Dubai Design Week at a dedicated public event on Nov. 7, from 7 to 9 p.m., at Atrium 6, Dubai Design District.
