Biography

Hadioui was born in Casablanca in 1985.[1] Her father Noureddine Hadioui was the muezzin of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca.[2] She was interested in fashion from a young age, frequently watching fashion programming on television. At the age of 17, she made her debut as a model. Hadioui collaborated with the top Moroccan designers in the Caftan 2007 show. In 2007, she walked in Paris, and later founded her own women's clothing line.[3] Hadioui is the face of Diamantine and GC.[2]

In 2010, Hadioui appeared in the TV film Les Enfants Terribles de Casablanca, directed by Abdelkarim Derkaoui.[3] She has served as a presenter of the fashion program Sabahiyate. In 2014, she starred in the film Sara directed by Said Naciri. She has appeared in films, soap opers, and television shows. Hadioui has stated that she does not want to perform in any films outside Morocco because she gets homesick, and the longest vacation outside the country that she took was two weeks.[1]
