If one woman was really made for reality television, she could be Chanel Ayaan.
The model stars in “Real Housewives of Dubai,” the latest and first international installment of Bravo’s massively popular “The Real Housewives” reality series franchise, which will premiere on Wednesday. Like other cities, the show follows a diverse group of six women, including Ayan and the lives they live in Dubai.
The show is different in that it is set in the ultramodern and vibrant UAE, but also that according to Ayaan, its cast doesn’t hold back.
“We are very glamorous. We are very funny. We are very outgoing. We’re theatrical,” Ayaan, born Ayan Pilot, told WWD. “We’re also mothers. You see each and every one of us showing our lives, and we are all truly incredible women in different ways. So you get to see all of that from us and we’re very open. I think that’s the best thing about us. We are very proud of our lives.”
Right from the start, known as Dubai’s first black supermodel, Ayaan has established herself as a force to be reckoned with, walking into every room with her top designer outfits, audacious personality and deadpan sense of humour. Is.
“My style is as big as my personality: outrageous,” Ayan said. “I bring drama with my fashion.”
Before moving to Dubai, she also modeled in her native country Kenya, where she competed to win the Miss Kenya title, but did not win. Instead, Ayaan quipped that he was apparently kicked out.
Throughout her modeling career, Ayan has worked with Valentino, Louis Vuitton and Gucci – experiences that have helped shape how she styles herself and who she is as a person today.
“I show a lot of things. I show simplicity sometimes, but to be honest, I am not a very simple person,” she said, describing her style. “I am not a basic person. I am definitely one of a kind. Like someone you are only going to see in this lifetime. I love that people are going to look at me that way because I’ve never been the kind of person who likes to fit in. I am the type of person who likes to live my life the way I want to live it. ,
The show, which also stars Nina Ali, Lesa Milne, Caroline Brooks, Sara Al Madani and Caroline Stanbury, like other installments, includes an abundance of dramatic storylines, fights between its cast members and over-the-top celebrations and fashion ensembles.
The trailer for the first season of “The Real Housewives of Dubai” takes a look at some of the women’s personal and professional endeavors, including Stanbury’s wedding, Milan’s fashion show, and Brooks’ journey to open her own spa. It even makes a cameo from Phaedra Parks of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” one of the most popular shows in the franchise.
Ayaan recently launched her own line of cosmetics called Ayaan Beauty by Tony Malt, which she created with her longtime friend and celebrity makeup artist Tony Malt. Viewers will get to see glimpses of the model working on her new venture.
“I’ve been in this industry for so long and I love everything related to beauty. I love everything related to fashion,” Ayaan said. “I love when a woman wears makeup, or when they wear their makeup. feel good about When they only have skin products on their face. Sometimes when I don’t wear makeup, I feel very powerful. Like you are feeling good about yourself today. So I just want people to feel confident in their own skin whenever they want to feel.”
Ayan has been living in Dubai for the last 18 years with her husband Lucas Salves, who is originally from Idaho. They have a 14-year-old son named Taj.
When asked what audiences should expect from the show, Ayan says a lot of “drama” – in more ways than one.
“They will see that I really speak my mind and I like to be funny. They get to see all these things about me,” she said. “Hey, be ready, America and the world. Ayan is coming. I promise you, I’m coming. I’m going to show you how attractive a beautiful black woman can be.”
