A Rising Star at the Intersection of Fashion, Identity, and Global Influence
By Michele Clark
Myriem Boukadida is not simply a model, she is a force of presence and intention. Represented by Elite Paris Management and NAA via Agence Adéquat, Myriem embodies a growing movement of talent from the MENA region who are redefining beauty standards, cultural narratives, and the power of voice in the fashion industry. With her poised elegance and dynamic versatility, she has captivated global audiences, not just with her appearance, but with a quiet confidence and clarity that signal something far more enduring than a fleeting trend.
Having built a loyal following through her work with top-tier fashion houses and editorial shoots, Myriem’s appeal lies in her depth. On screen and in front of the lens, she moves with grace, but it is her grounded self-awareness that truly defines her. In conversation, she is thoughtful and composed, choosing her words as intentionally as she moves down a runway. This isn’t just about fashion, it’s about expressing something timeless and culturally rooted through modern channels.
Born and raised in Tunisia, Myriem carries with her the richness of North African heritage. Her upbringing, shaped by Mediterranean warmth, tradition, and resilience, plays an integral role in the way she interprets beauty and identity. “I never saw my culture as something to leave behind,” she shares. “It has always been something I wanted to elevate and bring with me into every new space I entered.”
This reverence for her roots has shaped her path in the modeling industry. At a time when global fashion is finally beginning to recognize diverse voices and faces, Myriem stands as both muse and messenger. She is not trying to fit into outdated molds. Instead, she brings her full self to every campaign and collaboration, proud, intentional, and uncompromising.
Myriem’s ascent into the elite modeling scene has been deliberate. From the beginning, she was drawn not just to beauty, but to storytelling. Every photoshoot, every fashion week, every editorial is a new opportunity to embody something deeper than surface-level glamour. “I’m most inspired when there’s a story to tell,” she explains. “Whether it’s through the movement of a dress, the angles of a shoot, or the concept behind a collection, I love becoming part of something expressive.”
Her collaboration with renowned fashion houses across Europe and the Middle East has positioned her as a rising muse of a new era, one that values authenticity over perfection and substance over spectacle. “Models are no longer just faces,” she notes. “We are individuals with a platform and a voice, and I take that responsibility seriously.”
On Instagram, where her presence continues to grow, Myriem maintains a carefully balanced digital identity. With refined visuals and an editorial sensibility, she curates her feed with intention, showcasing her work, her travels, and occasional moments of calm introspection. “I want my platform to reflect who I am. Not just as a model, but as a woman, a Tunisian, a global citizen,” she says.
Unlike many who chase virality, Myriem remains grounded in authenticity. She uses her platform to uplift, not overwhelm. “The digital world moves fast, but I believe in taking your time,” she reflects. “I post what feels aligned, not just what trends. That’s how I stay true to myself.”
Beyond fashion, Myriem is deeply committed to shifting perspectives, especially about what it means to come from the Arab world in the global creative scene. Her mere presence in some of the industry’s most exclusive circles is already a form of cultural advocacy. Yet she goes further. Through interviews, creative collaborations, and her daily choices, she continues to break stereotypes and invite dialogue.
“I want girls from Tunis, or Casablanca, or Cairo to look at international campaigns and feel seen,” she says. “That means showing up fully as who I am, without dilution, without trying to erase my identity to fit someone else’s standard.”
This mindset makes her a quiet trailblazer. While she doesn’t carry an activist label, her very existence in high fashion with such authenticity is its own statement.
For Myriem, the future is not just about booking bigger shows or shooting with more iconic brands, though those milestones matter. Her larger vision includes using her platform to support emerging Arab designers, mentor younger talents from the region, and one day, perhaps even create a line of her own that reflects her aesthetic and heritage.
“I think we’re entering an age where beauty, culture, and purpose can merge,” she says. “The new icons in fashion are not just beautiful, they are thoughtful. They reflect something real.”
She dreams of contributing to that shift, not as a trend, but as a lasting movement. “I want my work to open doors, to make people feel. That’s how I measure success.”
Myriem Boukadida represents a changing fashion landscape, one where cultural integrity and global elegance are no longer mutually exclusive. With each runway she walks, each image she brings to life, and each conversation she invites, she is reshaping not just what beauty looks like, but what it can stand for.
Poised, passionate, and intentional, Myriem isn’t just creating a career, she’s shaping a legacy.
