      Congratulations are in order for the Jordanian royal family.
      Princess Iman, the eldest daughter of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania of Jordan, has announced her engagement to Jameel Alexander Thermiotis.
      The joyous news was announced in a statement by the Royal Hashemite Court.
      A portrait of the happy couple on the court’s official Instagram page.

      Queen Rania also shared the photo on her own Instagram page, congratulating her “dearest Iman” and her husband-to-be.
      “Congratulations my dearest Iman; your smile has always been a gift of love that I’ve cherished since the day you were born,” she said. “I wish you and Jameel a life filled with love and laughter!”
      What we know so far
      Little is known about Princess Iman’s fiancé, nor have any wedding details. What has been revealed by the Royal Hashemite Court is that the announcement was made in the presence of the 25-year-old’s parents, King Abdullah and Queen Rania, as well as her siblings, Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, Prince Hashem bin Abdullah II, and Princess Salma bint Abdullah II, in addition to members of Thermiotis’ family.
      The official portrait released also subtly showcased Princess Iman’s engagement ring, which appears to be a classic princess cut diamond. In the photograph, Princess Iman kept it classic, wearing a flowing ivory dress which complemented her fiancé’s navy blue suit which he paired with a white shirt.
      Congratulations to the happy couple!

      Lindsay Lohan is officially a married woman!
      To mark her 36th birthday, the actress shared she had secretly wed her fiancé Bader Shammas referring to him as her “husband” after the couple announced their engagement back in November 2021.
      The couple, who met in Dubai, have been incredibly private about their relationship and Shammas is not in the public eye.
      However, here’s a few things we know about the husband of Lindsay Lohan.

      The couple have been dating for two years
      Lohan, who has been in the spotlight since she was 11, has been very private about her relationship with Shammas. Privacy is one of the reasons she first moved to Dubai in 2014. According to reports, the couple has been dating for around two years and were recently pictured together on a trip to New York City in October.
      He went to university in the USA
      Shammas studied in the USA at the University of South Florida and the University of Tampa studying Mechanical Engineering and Finance
      He now lives in Dubai
      While Shammas now lives in Dubai, and has done for the last four years, he previously lived in Bahrain and Kuwait.
      He works as a financier
      Unlike his wife, Shammas isn’t in the public eye. He works in finance as an Assistant Vice President at Credit Suisse, a global investment bank and financial services firm.
      When did they meet?
      This is largely unknown as Lohan has been private about her relationships, but she did post a photo back in February 2020 with a group of friends featuring Shammas. According to Elle, the caption read: “@aliana lovely night with sister and my boyfriend bader such a magical night.” However, it seems now the post has been deleted as it no longer appears on Lohan’s Instagram feed.

      Her Highness Sheikha Sana Al Maktoum is continuing to give back to the local community.
      In her latest public outing, Sheikha Sana joined the ‘Discussions Across Generations’ event with the Ministry of Community Development.
      Her Highness was seen at Ski Dubai, located in the Mall of the Emirates, where she spent time with elder members of the Dubai community.
      A series of photos were posted on the UAE royal’s official Instagram account, where she shared her “happiness and gratitude” to be able to attend the event.
      “I really enjoyed learning and interacting with the elder members of our community at Ski Dubai with the penguins as well as listening to their perspectives on technology and how it can enhance their lives for the better,” she said.

      Her Highness also praised the work of Her Excellency Hessa bint Essa Buhumaid, Minister of Community Development; Hessa Tahlak, Assistant Undersecretary of Social Development; and Alia Al Joker, Director of Family Development Department, for their efforts “towards building a better community for us all and for their contributions to these wonderful initiatives”.
      Just last month, Her Highness hosted a group of orphans and underprivileged children on a special outing in Dubai.
      In collaboration with Emirates Red Crescent, Sheikha Sana visited The Green Planet, the only indoor rainforest in the emirate, where she accompanied the children on this unique experience.
      Sheikha Sana previously shared with Emirates Woman, during our April 2021 cover shoot with Her Highness, her desire to give back to those less fortunate.
      “I was blessed to be born in the UAE, a safe haven to people from various backgrounds, where women are respected and treated equally, but I know that there are many who are not as blessed,” she said. “I hope to help change this by partnering with charities supporting the education of young children and women’s empowerment.”

      A man in Dubai arrested for administering Botox injections without a license

      When it comes to cosmetic procedures, you always need to ensure you’re visiting a licensed professional.
      This is something which is closely monitored in Dubai as a man was recently arrested for allegedly illegally administering Botox injections without a license.
      Per The National, the individual reportedly worked for a medical consultancy company and was providing unlicensed cosmetic treatments in Deira.
      Haifa Al Marzouqi, a senior prosecutor at Deira Prosecution, explained the police had worked in cooperation with the Dubai Health Authority to carry out a sting operation on the man.
      Al Marzouqi explained a female officer posed as a potential customer for the man, who had told her she needed Botox injections in her forehead.
      “He examined the woman’s face and told her that she needed a Botox injection in the forehead and asked for Dh4,700 for his service,” Al Marzouqi said.
      Just as the individual was set to anaesthetise the woman’s face, police intervened.
      “The defendant was endangering the lives of others by practising cosmetic surgery without a licence and offering consultations, as well as obtaining medical tools and injections without permission,” Al Marzouqi added.

      Everything to know about Miss India World 2022

      Miss India World 2022 has officially been crowned.
      Sini Shetty took home the title over the weekend at the competition which took place in the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai.
      So, who exactly is Sini Shetty?
      The 21-year-old was born in Mumbai and holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting and finance and is currently pursuing her Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA).
      Originally hailing from Karnataka, the newly crowned Miss India World is a trained classical Indian dancer who has been raised with a passion for her artistic and academic endeavours.

      While Shetty was crowned the winner out of all the finalists for Miss India World, it was a rigorous competition with all contestants going through months of training, learning from the best in the industry.
      Several leading Bollywood celebrities and fashion designers including Neha Dhupia, Dino Morea and Malaika Arora were present as judges for the competition. Neha Dhupia, a previous Miss India World winner herself, was also present at the event as both a mentor and a guide for women who participated in fulfilling their dreams.
      Auditions for the positions took place via a virtual format to attract nationwide talent and find the most deserving after shortlisting a total of 31 state winners. The tedious scouting process gives two other talented individuals including Rajasthan’s Rubal Shekhawat the first runner-up title and Shinata Chauhan from Uttar Pradesh the second runner-up title.

      The stellar evening consisted of breathtaking performances from remarkable talent in the industry such as Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon, dancer Lauren Gottlieb and more.
      The pageant was established 70 years ago and a few Miss India winners have gone on to win the much-coveted title of Miss World – Aishwarya Rai in 1994, Priyanka Chopra in 2000 and Manushi Chillar in 2017.

      The artists
      The exhibition will feature artists as far back as 1938 derived from Saudi Arabia’s rich and modern art community with the likes of, Mohammed Racim, Mounirah Mosly, Abdulhalim Al Radwi and Abdullah Al Shaikh.

      Dubai-based Lindsay Lohan is officially a married woman!
      The actress revealed she secretly wed her fiancé Bader Shammas in an Instagram post to mark her 36th birthday, where she referred to the financier as her “husband”.
      Lohan shared a photo with her now-husband, saying she was the “luckiest woman in the world”. The star also appeared to be wearing a diamond wedding band paired with her engagement ring.
      “You found me and knew that I wanted to find happiness and grace, all at the same time,” she said in the caption. “I am stunned that you are my husband. My life and my everything. Every woman should feel like this everyday.”

      Lohan and Shammas announced their engagement back in November 2021 after reportedly dating for around two years.
      Lohan, who has been in the spotlight since she was 11, has been very private about her relationship and not much is known about her fiance except he is also based in Dubai working as a financier. Shammas works as an Assistant Vice President at Credit Suisse, a global investment bank and financial services firm.
      The actress relocated to Dubai back in 2014. Lohan, who is a former Emirates Woman cover star, previously opened up about her move to the UAE.

      “Moving here was a fresh start,” she told EW. “You hear more about real current events rather than celebrity gossip, which I really appreciate.”
      She also added one of the main reasons she moved to Dubai was due to the “lack of paparazzi”.
      The 36-year-old recently made a return to the spotlight and acting, as she’s currently filming a new project for Netflix, which is set to be released this year.
