From Amman To Elie Saab’s Inner Circle: Meet Zein Al Qutami, The Jordanian Powerhouse Who Just Married Into Fashion Royalty
If there’s one name on everyone’s lips this week, it’s Zein Al Qutami — the Jordanian bride who just married Celio Saab, son of legendary Lebanese designer Elie Saab, in what may go down as the most glamorous wedding of the year.

But behind the three custom gowns, the star-studded guest list, and the glitzy post-wedding party, there’s a story worth knowing — because Zein isn’t just the new face of fashion royalty. She’s a boss in her own right.
Born in Jordan and now based in Abu Dhabi, Zein’s journey has been all about purpose and reinvention. She graduated with honors from Lebanese American University in 2016 with a degree in marketing, then kicked off her career in a startup in Amman. From there, she made the move to the UAE — first Dubai, then settling in Abu Dhabi — and never looked back.

Zein currently works as a Social Media Account Manager at Cosmopole, one of the region’s top PR and marketing agencies, managing major clients like Jumeirah Group, ADNEC, and Groupe Barriere. She’s known for being sharp, creative, and always ten steps ahead — the kind of person who turns ideas into campaigns and campaigns into brand stories.
What kind of person is she?
Before switching her Instagram to private (yes, she now keeps her life low-key with just over 300 approved followers), Zein was a rising name in fashion and lifestyle content creation, with over 30,000 followers drawn to her authentic aesthetic and easy elegance.
And let’s talk about the love story. Zein and Celio met in 2021, went on their first date in June, and couldn’t wait for a second — literally scheduling it the next day. After an unplanned summer together in Beirut and three years of building their relationship, Celio proposed on a quiet morning in June 2024. A year later, they tied the knot in Lebanon with a celebration that had everyone watching.

Zein wore not one, not two, but three custom Elie Saab gowns, each more breathtaking than the last. The first was a regal, floor-length wedding gown with silver embroidery and a cathedral-length veil. The second, for the after-party, was a champagne-toned masterpiece with a plunging neckline and metallic details. The third, for the goodbye party, was sleek, elegant, and the perfect finale.
Who was there?
The wedding and post-wedding events were filled with iconic moments: Celio dancing with his mother Claudine Saab, Zein’s emotional moment with her own mom, sisters-in-law laughing like they’ve known each other forever, and a guest list that included Nancy Ajram, Nadine Nassib Njeim, Karen Wazen, Jessica Azar, Balqees, Assi El-Hallani, and Hande Erçel.

It wasn’t just a wedding — it was a showcase of Arab elegance, legacy, and love. But most of all, it was Zein’s moment. From startups in Amman to the heart of Lebanese couture, she’s stepped into this new chapter with the same grace, vision, and quiet power that’s defined her journey all along.
And we’ll be watching every step of the way. Mabrouk to the couple — Jordan is proud.
