Vogue Arabia’s January 2024 issue promotes cover model Rania Benchegra as the “freshest face in fashion right now.”

Rania Benechegra’s moment in the January 2024 spotlight comes from her entering the Vogue Open Casting project, where she was a finalist.

Amine Jressati [IG], fashion director for Vogue Arabia and Vogue Man Arabia, styles Benchegra in Bottega Veneta, Dior, Givenchy, Loewe, Maison Alaia, Schiaparelli, YSL and more.

Master photographer Txema Yeste [IG] is behind the lens.

AOC shared the particulars of Benchegra’s 2011 Elite model scout discovery in a Marrakech shopping mall, with last week’s release of her two gorgeous Vogue Arabia covers. She won the 2011 Elite Model Look — a yearly fashion modeling event held by Elite Model Management.

In this 2017 Beverly Hills video sitdown with Simo Benbachir, we learn many more details about Benchegra’s journey.

If you don’t speak her language, Vogue Arabia interviewed her in 2018, and those details are covered in last week’s AOC covers story. There’s also background info on this video.
