"It is with great pleasure that we announce Micaela Oliveira, the celebrated Portuguese designer, as one of the featured couturières at the Saudi Arabia Creative Women Forum 2025 Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony," the organisation declared on its social media channels, in a post also shared on the designer's Instagram account, announcing the tribute at the event held on November 6 at the National Museum in Riyadh. The evening opened with an address by Princess Noura bint Saud bin Naif bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, patron of the Forum and founder of Saudi Fashion Week, followed by a runway show by the Portuguese designer, celebrating the rich traditions of this enchanted kingdom.
The publication further notes that the Trofa-born couturière "grew up surrounded by fabrics, prints, and creativity- a world that has shaped her lifelong devotion to fashion," and that over the past 20 years she has "built an extraordinary career defined by elegance, daring, and refinement, consolidating her name among the leading designers of wedding dresses and haute couture," the statement continues.
"Her creations- a harmonious blend of sophistication, sensuality, and femininity- embody her belief that each dress should tell a story, evoke emotion, and reflect the unique essence of the woman who wears it," reads the message shared simultaneously on the Forum and the eponymous designer's Instagram accounts.
