Dubai Bling star Ebraheem Al Samadi is a fashionista reality star who really stands out, and his uniqueness shows in his fascinating throwbacks. The strong-willed My Forever Rose entrepreneur is known for his flashy fashions and long locks, but years ago, he tried out different outfits and hairstyles. In fact, in some of these pictures, he's practically unrecognizable. Yes, he always had a "male model" vibe, but his image wasn't as distinct as it is now. There's no one like Ebraheem - however, he needed time to grow into his signature style.

In Dubai Bling season 3, Ebraheem's bringing the drama. Playing the villain comes naturally to him, and this time around, he's really inflaming the cast. Once upon a time, the man who brings "forever roses" to his customers wasn't exactly a fairy tale prince. Remember when he threatened to buy Zeina Khoury's company and demote her, offering her a salary? That slight was just the beginning. Later on, he added insult to injury by trademarking her firm, I Am The Company. Now, he's playing a cat and mouse game with the feisty former model, who wants that trademark back.

Ebraheem Had A Different Look In 2018

He's Really Changed

In the photo shown above, via Instagram, Ebraheem showed off a younger look, with shorter hair and a bright blue t-shirt. Everyone's used to seeing him dressed to kill in brocade suits, or military-style jackets that are so runway-ready. He also loves glittering loafers. So, the casual vibe in the shot above is definitely a style departure.

Back then, Ebraheem was probably already involved in his parents' business empire, but took time out to hit the gym. Since 1999, My Forever Rose has been offering Beauty and The Beast-inspired roses in glass domes, which are designed to last for years, if not forever. Today, Dubai Bling's Ebraheem Al Samadi, an "all business" Capricorn man, is 37, so seeing throwbacks of him when he was younger is definitely interesting.

Ebraheem Was A Cute Baby

He Loves His Mom

Ebraheem is a traditional person who's said he learned his values very young, as seen above, but there's more to him than designer clothes, high-end sports cars and high-drama feuds with castmates, including Zeina, Recently, onscreen, Ebraheem was called a:

coffee boy

by Zeina's husband, who was angry at Ebraheem for failing to give Zeina the I Am The Company trademark. Ebraheem owns a couple of cafés, so that was why Zeina's partner chose the "coffee boy" insult. It was a remark designed to cut the talented entrepreneur Ebraheem down to size.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

However, Ebraheem's more than just an in-your-face reality star who rubs people the wrong way. He's a son, and his baby picture, as shown above, make that clear. Ebraheem's parents are strong influences on him. His mother is Husni Al Samadi and his dad is Khadeja Dowd, They run a group of firms called the Al Samadi Group, and My Forever Rose is part of that conglomerate.

Seeing him as a little tot is seeing him in a different light. Sometimes, it's easy to call someone a villain and not think more deeply about who that person is and what's driving them. However, Ebraheem has opened up about his life and how he feels about family values, and life values in general.

He's said that he believes in protecting women, and that he learned to do that at a young age, from his family. He also believes in being grateful for what he has, rather than comparing himself to other people.

There could be more depth to Ebraheem than meets the eye. However, most people probably perceive Ebraheem as a spoiled and self-indulgent man. His antics seem immature, it's true, but then again, he's trying to entertain an audience.

In 2021, Ebraheem showed off longer hair, but still looked different than he does now. In the snap from Instagram, which is shown above, he was at the gym, dressed in a sleeveless red t-shirt. He posed in front of a mirror, showing off ripped arms. Fitness is clearly a big priority in his life, as all of these gym photos show.

The younger Ebraheem was still a go-getter. He has always been ambitious and disciplined. His workout photos underscore the fact that he really, really takes care of himself. It might be easy to dismiss Ebraheem as a rich kid who has endless hours to devote to vanity-based activities, but then again, no one is that one-dimensional. Ebraheem's said that he isn't a greedy person - he's someone who counts his blessings, grateful for everything that's good in his life.

He Looked Great

Ebraheem visited Malaga, Spain, in 2021, and wore a stylish casual outfit to pose for the photo shown above, which was posted to his Instagram. The pale blue jeans and slightly darker blue jacket looked great on him. The lighter colors definitely flatter his olive skintone. He looked relaxed and happy in the shot, showing off a more unpretentious style. Now, he loves the most outrageous fashion but he definitely doesn't need embeliished suits to look good. In fact, he might want to dress down more often.

Does Ebraheem Look Better Dressed Down?

It's Different & More Relatable

Sometimes, it's hard to take someone seriously when they're all kitted out in super-flashy clothes. That stuff can make a person look like they just want to show off their money. For example, if a person dresses in clothes covered in Louis Vuitton labels, they may be doing it because they love the look, but they're probably also trying to show the world that they can afford "the very best."

Often, the most stylish people don't wear the most expensive things. They might mix cheaper pieces with costly items, creating more interesting looks, which don't look like they came straight out of a designer's "look book." it's fun to see the Dubai Bling season 3 cast member dressed down, and almost easier to take him seriously when he isn't wearing the high-fashion pieces.

However, with the really wild suits and so on, he may have finally settled on the style that he's most comfortable in. There's nothing wrong with that.

Ebraheem's throwbacks are amazing, giving Dubai Bling fans a glimpse into his past. In the season, he's a troublemaker, but since he's 37, he's done a lot more in his life than throw tantrums while the cameras roll. Today, his life seems rich and full - he's often at events, but rarely looks as peaceful as he did in the Spain photo above. Maybe less is actually more, as the dressed down Ebraheem who was chilling in a Spanish plaza seemed fo be totally at peace.
