Cabin crew uniforms are more than just workwear. They are a blend of style, culture, and safety to make every crew the best-dressed superheroes of the skies.
Unveiling its inaugural cabin crew uniforms designed by renowned Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi, Riyadh Air is setting new standards for their 2025 uniforms. Inspired by the airline’s bold dual-livery design, the uniforms will reflect elegance and traditional Arabic culture, while maintaining comfort. We can’t wait to see what for its reveal at Haute Couture Week today!
Meanwhile, let’s take a look at the cabin crew uniforms for the top airlines in the Middle East:
Etihad Airways
Designed by Italian couturier Ettore Bilotta, Etihad’s uniforms are retro chic inspired by 1950s glamour. Berets, pencil skirts, and print scarves make every crew member look like they’ve stepped off a runway. Think Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” but in the sky.
Emirates
As iconic as James Bond’s tuxedo, Emirates’ classic beige palette and bold red are instantly recogniseable. While the uniform has had many iterations, the latest adaptation comes in the form of footwear. From May, 2024, female cabin crew can now choose their own footwear from a range of 15 shoe styles in the signature red.
Saudia
Choosing a contemporary style, Saudia’s new uniforms are appealing specifically to the business traveller. Adopting inspiration from Saudi Arabian identity, landscapes, and culture, the modest outfits in dark blue reflect the airline’s heritage with a modern twist. Male crew members put their best Clark Kent forward with tailored suits.
EgyptAir
EgyptAir’s cabin crew uniforms are the definition of smart and functional. The navy blue suits with lighter blue accents are designed to be both stylish and practical. Female crew members sport a scarf that adds a touch of flair, while the men look dapper in their matching suits. Think of them as the Avengers of the aviation world, combining professionalism with a dash of style.
Qatar Airways
Designed by Olino, the iconic maroon uniforms represent elegance and luxury that Qatar Airways are known for. Female crew members have fitted dresses and stylish hats, while male crew members wear sharp suits.
Oman Air
Inspired by the sea of Oman, the teal and grey are modern and culturally respectful, with female crew members wearing dresses and headscarves, and male crew members in suits with teal ties. These uniforms embody Omani heritage while presenting a contemporary look that was created in-house by Oman Air’s product and brand development team.
Royal Jordanian
The redesigned uniforms of Royal Jordanian are where tradition meets modern fashion. Female crew members wear tailored dresses with fitted jackets and hats, while male crew members sport classic suits. The colors and designs reflect Jordanian culture, offering a regal and professional appearance that could easily belong to a royal household.
