Marking seven years of success, Vogue Arabia's March 2024 issue sees seven iconic women from around the globe in the spotlight. Themed 'Beauties of the World', the edition aims to celebrate women of different ethnicities, body types, and ages — all with a strong connection to relevant social causes — while reminding us that beauty is not just a physical trait, but a quality that really shines from within. First, meet the iconic Bollywood superstar Kareena Kapoor Khan who was joined by additional international stars such as the Palestinian pop princess Elyanna, Somali-American model Halima Aden, Lebanese actor Nadine Nassib Njeim, Italian diva Monica Bellucci, Canadian model Winnie Harlow, and Saudi author and diversity advocate Abrar Alothman.

In this month's cover story, the seven women open up about their experiences and struggles with the idea of beauty, and how they empower themselves to achieve self-love. Kareena Kapoor Khan states "I've embraced myself through every decade of working – from 18 to my 20s and 40s; from being a size zero to having two children," she also mentioned, "Beauty is a positive word with a positive emotion, and we should look at it that way."

This is Kareena Kapoor Khan's golden phase. She appeared on the magazine cover in two different looks: one in a nude outfit and the other in an elaborately detailed gown with side slits. She had on a green dress with fringe accents and wore little makeup in the third picture. She expresses her views and redefines beauty by being on the cover.

Among Kareena Kapoor Khan and these inspiriring women is also Saudi Arabia's Abrar Alothman, the author and social media personality whose content is spreading awareness of epidermolysis bullosa, a rare genetic skin disease. As a child, Alothman recalls, "Nobody wanted to sit at the desk next to me. They were afraid to shake my hand, or if they did, they would only do it with their fingertips and then immediately wipe their hands." Now, the 30-year-old has become a favorite in the online sphere for her pithy and raw messages about self-love and how to handle setbacks. An inspiring journey that is unfolding in front of our eyes.

On the list of incredible women, the latest edition also finds Princess Abeer S bin Farhan Al Saud, a unique Saudi royal who recently made a historic expedition to Antarctica, and wrote to Vogue Arabia's readers from the remote location. "The desert pushes us to our limits, just as the ice does. Extreme heat and extreme cold test us to see how much we can tolerate and what we will do to survive," she pens. "What I have learned as a desert and polar explorer among people who must dig deep to survive in these unforgiving conditions, is a kindness most supreme, an enthusiastic will to help, to care for others, to act as a friend, and to show hospitality of the most spectacular sort. This journey has changed me, and I say without hesitation: I am happy and all the better for it."

This month, Vogue Arabia also takes you to some incredible locations, starting with Saudi Arabia, where the first grand opera produced by the Kingdom opens in Riyadh next month. In celebration, the magazine gathers some of the most powerful voices of the country's opera world, lensed in front of Saudi Arabia's incredible landscapes. Vogue Arabia then heads to the farmlands of AlUla, home of the picturesque Tarah Farmhouse. Nestled in Wadi Sadr roughly 1,000km from Riyadh, the farmhouse invites the outdoors in via its seemingly endless glass walls, and is quickly becoming a favorite among tourists looking for a break from the bustling city life.
