The Real Housewives is probably the biggest reality franchise with more than 10 series in the United States and 21 abroad. And now adding another country to their list, The Real Housewives of Dubai is on the horizon with an incredible cast including supermodel Chanel Ayan.
So who is she? This “Chanel Ayan Biography” contains everything you need to know about her.
Chanel Ayan in RHODubai (Real Housewives of Dubai)
The Real Housewives of Dubai premiered on June 1, 2022, and like every other franchise, it saw 6 strong, independent women, leading fascinating lifestyles, all aiming to make it in the world.
Among them, Chanel Ayan is Dubai’s first black supermodel known for her elegance and enviable style. Dubai has been her home for more than 18 years and she has “watched in amazement as the city was built.”
However, not every day is lucky in RHODubai. Bravo’s description of her says that Chanel will face demons of her past and present until she realizes that she can only hide behind fashion for so long.
For the inaugural season of RHODubai, he was joined by his colleagues: Nina Ali (co-founder of a successful confectionery company), Caroline Brooks (real estate agent), Dr. Sara Al Madani (productivity speaker), Lesa Milan (fashion designer) and Caroline Stanbury (fashion stylist).
All excited to appear on the show, Chanel took to her IG on May 27, 2022 to share a promotional clip titled “AYAN BEAUTY Tune in June 1 @bravotv Dress @amatoofficial @furneamato.”
For those of you who don’t know, RHDubai isn’t the first time Chanel has appeared on TV. She has reportedly appeared in film franchises like Mission Impossible and The Fast and the Furious.
Chanel Ayan Net Worth
Chanel Ayan has amassed a net worth of less than $1.5 million as of 2022. Well, considering her more than 2-decade career in the modeling industry, it’s no surprise that she’s managed to amass a hefty sum.
This incarnation of beauty began her career after moving to Brazil at the age of 18. However, years later, after finally signing with Elite Model Agency and establishing herself in the United Arab Emirates, Chanel rose to fame and amassed a large following in Africa and the Middle East. She even became the first black supermodel to grace a magazine cover in Dubai.
Recalling her modeling debut in Dubai, Chanel said that it happened at the royal fashion show in Abu Dhabi. Since then, she has worked for major fashion houses such as Chanel, Tiffany, Cartier, Valentino, and Dolce & Gabbana. But her greatest achievement is being the muse of one of the world’s leading designers, Amato Couture.
But unlike now, Chanel’s woodwork was fraught with adversity. As an African, she had to fight everything, including invitations to events and modeling jobs. But she always respected herself and believed in her own power. Her “unwavering perseverance, determination and outspoken refusal of hers to accept anything less than what she deserves” is what led her to this position.
In the future, Chanel came up with some “life-changing” projects. She’s on an inner journey: a mission to learn more about herself and recapture the love she shares with everyone.
Fun fact: Chanel has worked with stars like Rihanna and Iman.
