Model J, born on March 29, 1989, is a pioneering Saudi model raised in the United Arab Emirates. She began her modeling journey at just 13 years old after being scouted by a modeling agency in Dubai, instantly falling in love with the craft. With a natural presence and striking charisma, she quickly made her mark in an industry that, at the time, offered little space for Saudi women.
Breaking boundaries from a young age, Model J became a trailblazer, inspiring not just women in Saudi Arabia, but across the entire GCC, to believe in their right to dream big and pursue careers once considered off-limits.
Early Passion, Cultural Challenges, and Unshakable Belief
Growing up in a conservative context, her early foray into modeling raised eyebrows — including from her own family. “I was featured in Zahrat Al Khaleej magazine,” she recalls, “and my mom was scared, because back then, it was unheard of for a Saudi girl to be a model.”
But J didn’t let fear or social pressure dim her light. Her early teens and young adulthood were filled with photoshoots, posing sessions, and modeling gigs, even while holding down a full-time job later on. Modeling became a powerful expression of her identity — not just a career, but a calling.
Building a Name: From Coaching to Choreographing
As her presence grew in the fashion world, Model J took on new roles — not just as a model, but as a mentor, coach, and choreographer. She has trained countless aspiring models in posing, walking, and confidence-building, and choreographed runway shows for fashion events in Dubai.
She’s collaborated with some of the region’s most renowned designers and artists, including:

In addition to Vogue India and Zahrat Al Khaleej, she’s also been featured in Vigour magazine and several others across the region.
Her achievements are a reflection of her consistency, creativity, and deep connection to the art of modeling.
A Role Model in Every Sense
Model J is more than a face in fashion — she is a mother of two, a beauty influencer, and an advocate for female empowerment. She took a break from modeling during her pregnancies, but never left the scene entirely. During that period, she remained active on social media, sharing makeup tutorials, beauty tips, and personal reflections that resonated deeply with her audience.
When her daughter turned one and a half, she returned to modeling, proving that motherhood and ambition can go hand in hand. Since then, she has continued to train aspiring models and build her presence as an influencer, using her story to uplift others.
