The Red Sea International Film Festival (RSIFF) is back in Jeddah from December 4 to 13, 2025, hosting a rich slate of cinema that spans more than 100 films from over 70 countries — including 38 world premieres. The festival opens with Giant, a biopic by Rowan Athale about the British-Yemeni boxing champion Prince Naseem Hamed. On the competition side, the 2025 selection includes standout films such as Hijra by Shahad Ameen — Saudi Arabia’s official 2025 submission to the Oscars, and A Sad and Beautiful World by Cyril Aris, a Lebanese drama exploring love and memory. Beyond the competition, the festival’s lineup spans global productions, intimate regional stories, animation, shorts and documentaries, offering a transversal view of contemporary cinema,a perfect ground for discovery, conversation and cultural exchange.
What unfolds on screen is only part of the festival’s glow. The Red Sea has become a stage where personal style and craftsmanship speak as loudly as the films, especially through jewelry, which has become the festival’s quiet signature. Bold, intricate, or steeped in heritage, the right pieces frame the wearer with cinematic precision. With that in mind, here are KHAMSA‘s curated jewelry picks for this edition.
Elham Ali captivated on the red carpet adorned with the striking Panthère de Cartier earrings in white gold, onyx with diamonds, beautifully paired with two signature rings from the Maison — the Panthère de Cartier ring in white gold, onyx, tsavorite garnets and the Panthère de Cartier ring in white gold, onyx, emeralds with diamonds — completing a look rooted in Cartier’s iconic feline allure.
Asma Galal elevated her look with the luminous Reflection de Cartier earrings in white gold with diamonds, complemented by the timeless elegance of a Baignoire watch in white gold with diamonds and a modern edge brought by the Juste un Clou ring in white gold with diamonds.
