Riyadh is ready to shine as Riyadh Fashion Week (RFW) 2025 takes over the city from October 16 to 21. Now in its third edition, the event is putting the Kingdom’s fashion scene firmly on the global map, showcasing both fresh talent and established designers from around the world.

The six-day programme includes more than 25 runway shows, 10 designer presentations, a showroom, and interactive experiences. For the first time, international labels join the lineup, sharing the stage with rising Saudi talent in couture, eveningwear, womenswear, menswear, and streetwear.

As with other international fashion weeks in other cities, RFW 2025 will welcome celebrity guests. Previous editions have seen stars like actress Blake Lively, model Naomi Campbell, and actress and singer Zendaya walk through the red carpet, adding extra glamour to the city’s fashion calendar.

Riyadh’s cultural calendar this autumn is more diverse than ever. Beyond fashion, the city is buzzing with events like Riyadh Comedy Festival and Riyadh International Book Fair, making it the perfect time to explore the Kingdom’s lively arts and entertainment scene.
