Aida grew up between Beirut's war-and-glamour duality and Cannes summers with her diplomat aunt. She rejects the word "gossip" — she calls her beat "celebrity-as-narrative". Has covered five Met Galas, eight Cannes festivals, three Gulf royal weddings. Famously fact-checks every quote with two independent sources before publishing — rare in her field. Never names a child. Never publishes anything she would not say to the subject's face. Her column is the most-shared on every Vogue Arabia and Hello! reader cohort she has reached.
