A Dream Debut In Cannes
Katherine Kelly Lang has added another feather to her cap—or should we say couture ribbon? The soap-opera icon landed the cover of chic.dubai magazine, shot on location in Cannes during her first appearance at the Cannes Film Festival. Dressed in full custom Robert Abi Nader Haute Couture SS25, Lang’s editorial debut with the Dubai-based title captures a blend of Old Hollywood glam and modern sophistication. chic.dubai magazine, known for its mix of fashion, lifestyle and Middle Eastern glamour, tapped Lang for its summer issue as it seeks to bridge Hollywood and Gulf style scenes. In her Instagram announcement, the actress wrote, “Thrilled to share my new cover for @chic.dubai.magazine magazine, shot in beautiful Cannes during my very first Cannes Film Festival 🌺 Wearing full custom @robertabinader Haute Couture SS25, this shoot was such a dream come true.”
Her arrival in Cannes was a moment long in the making. As she shared on Instagram:
“En route for Cannes… my very first Cannes Film Festival! À très bientôt—see you next week! 💋🇫🇷 #CannesFilmFestival”

This early post, shot poolside with views of the Croisette, underscored Lang’s excitement to navigate the 77th edition of one of cinema’s most prestigious gatherings. At 62, Lang joined a wave of established actresses who are redefining beauty standards on the Croisette, proving that style and cinematic flair transcend age.
Red Carpet Revelry
Just days after touching down, Lang hit her first festival red carpet for the premiere of Mastermind. She thanked executive project director Alessio Filippelli and sponsor Campari in a celebratory post:
“What a night. My first Cannes red carpet—for the premiere of ‘Mastermind’. Huge thanks to @ale_ssiofilippelli for making this moment happen and to @campariofficial for having me and giving Cannes that signature spark.” #Cannes2025 #Mastermind

On the red carpet, Lang chose a flowing gown by Vivienna Lorikeet, accentuated with APM Monaco jewels. She paired soft, side-swept waves—courtesy of Lozani Beauty—with a classic red-lip finish from Atrebor8 cosmetics. Shortly afterward, she shared, “Elegance with an edge… @campariofficial knows the feeling. 🖤 #Cannes2025 #Campari” (post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DKH2qp2sptU/), capturing the mood of a night when cinema and style coalesced seamlessly.
Haute Couture Elegance
The chic.dubai cover shoot amplifies Lang’s evolving fashion narrative. Robert Abi Nader’s SS25 collection, celebrated for its architectural silhouettes and bold color palette, becomes a perfect canvas for the actress’s poised presence. Behind the scenes, Lang collaborated closely with Nader’s atelier team to refine each detail, from hand-sewn beadwork on the bodice to the sweeping mermaid skirt. She described the gowns as “sculptural and empowering,” a sentiment echoed by stylist Alessio Filippelli, who curated the look to reflect both Lang’s screen history and her off-screen poise.
The campaign’s creative credits include:
• Styling & PR: Alessio Filippelli
• Photography: Fay Valentine
• Hair: Elisa Rampi
• Make-up: Roberta Larosa
• Videography: Jeremy Snider
• Jewelry: APM Monaco

A behind-the-scenes snapshot shared by Fay Valentine captured Lang reclining on a sunlit terrace, emerald green satin poolside echoing the Mediterranean hue beyond. The full interview, set to drop digitally on Monday, promises insights into Lang’s trajectory from daytime drama royalty to global style maven.
From Soap Opera Star To Global Style Icon
Katherine Kelly Lang’s career spans more than three decades. She joined The Bold and the Beautiful at its inception in 1987, becoming a six-time Soap Opera Digest award winner and earning a dedicated international fan base. Born in Hollywood to actors Keith Lang and Joanne Wilson, Lang built a résumé that includes cameo roles in films such as Happy Gilmore and Madea’s Witness Protection.
Earlier this spring, Lang teamed up with Glamour South Africa for a deep-dive profile—“In this new chapter, I’m not just playing a role—I’m writing the script,” she penned on Instagram (post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DJZnYthsBP_/). The feature, shot by Fay Valentine, explored themes of power, reinvention and authenticity, foreshadowing her seamless transition into high fashion and lifestyle publishing.
Lang’s editorial reach also extends to Europe. In a recent interview with Italy’s Novella 2000, she shared, “My bond with Italy has always run deep—a connection rooted in love, culture, and shared passion.” That story appears in print across newsstands in Italy starting next week, further underscoring her cross-continental appeal.
As festival crowds and fashion insiders digest Lang’s landmark cover, one thing is clear: stepping from daytime drama sets to luxury editorials is a role she plays with unmatched grace. Fans can read the full conversation in chic.dubai magazine’s digital edition this coming Monday. And, as Lang teased on Instagram, “Feeling so grateful for this experience and already looking forward to visiting Dubai again… very soon! 😉🇦🇪”
