Georgina Rodriguez dressed in a Bisht Abaya—in the hue of mint for Saudi National Day, which is the classic a modernised style of Bisht, the traditional Arabian cloak.

The bisht, which is worn in Arabia and the nearby regions where Arabian tribes are found, is one of the most valuable and recognised Arabian garments.

The finest Bishts, worn by Saudi and Arabian royalty, are thought to have been made in Ahsa, which is located in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia. The details or embroidery on the ends of the Bisht vary, and include the: triangular, broadened, square, fifth, royal, and other names.

It is particularly important to mention that Bisht, also known as “𝘈𝘣𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘵 𝘌𝘭-𝘉𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘵,” was once worn by both men and women. Saudi Arabian abaya designers are attempting to resurrect their traditional clothes with contemporary patterns, like the one Georgina wore.
