TARA EMAD: FROM MODEL TO ACTRESS TO BVLGARI BRAND AMBASSADOR

Not only is Tara Emad one of Egypt’s top models, she is also an actress on the rise, one of the country’s young talents, ushering in a new era of television and cinema. Over the years, the 26-year-old made the transition from runway to TV to the silver screen. Her blossoming acting career includes starring alongside acting legends like Adel Emam and being part of one of this summer’s biggest box-office hits.

However, Tara didn’t just make a name for herself by standing in front of the camera, she is also known for her philanthropic efforts, including her work with Italian luxury brand, Bvlgari. Two years ago, Tara became a brand ambassador for the jewellery brand and other than just modelling their stunning pieces, she has also worked with them on their partnership with Save the Children.

We sat with Egypt’s rising star to learn more about her career, if she would choose modeling overacting, what is next for her acting career, and how she became a Bvlgari brand ambassador.

When did you start your modeling career? And how did you break into the industry?

I started when I was 14 years old. I did several TV ads and was always going for casting calls for films, series and fashion shoots. I got a call back from a lebanese magazine through an agency called Face To Face here in Egypt. I remember meeting the art director of the magazine that day and she said that they were excited to shoot with me and it was going to be great. When the magazine came out I was on the cover! Then after that I started doing fashion shows, more ads and went and modeled internationally too.
