T: The New York Times Style Magazine MENA Nora Attal - September cover story 2026

Description

This image captures model Nora Attal standing centrally on a wide public square, wearing a striking, full-length red fringed dress and holding a blue and black football under her arm. In the foreground and middle ground, several children are caught in motion on roller skates, creating a dynamic sense of activity against the stationary figure of the model. The setting features traditional warm-toned architectural facades with arched corridors, lanterns, and distant palm trees under an overcast sky. The natural lighting and street-level perspective highlight the texture of the fringed garment and the candid energy of the surrounding environment.
