Rushdy Abaza is better known as the Casanova of the Egyptian cinema and the Don Juan of the ’60s, for a good reason. He’s the man whom every woman in Egypt has had a crush on, and, back in the day, everyone wished they could catch a glimpse of him or have a chance to talk to him. Simply put, Abaza was an icon, and he still is until this day, with his legacy immortalised through his acting, his gentlemanly personality, and his charisma, most of all. Now, we bet you can see why everyone absolutely adored him.
Of the many things Rushdy Abaza was admired for, though, his sense of fashion and the way he styled his suits was one thing he got continuous praise about. As an icon in the Egyptian male fashion scene, the actor cemented his stylish influence and had many men mimicking the way he dressed and presented himself, both in real life AND on-screen.
Speaking of Abaza’s fashion, we’ve decided to highlight three outfits of his that show just how much of a smart (and trendy) dresser he was!
Rushdy Abaza and His Unbuttoned Shirts
We can guarantee that if you look for photos of Rushdy Abaza, you’ll find that three out of ten of his photographs will have him wearing a linen or silk shirt with a couple of buttons undone, leaving a slight opening in the front. This move made every single one of his outfits, casual and otherwise, memorable, and it didn’t hurt that it helped him show off his muscular physique. It even helped solidify his status as Egyptian Eyecandy to many Egyptian and Arab women.

He Also Had A Penchant for Fitted Suits
As much as we love seeing Abaza in his classic staples of either linen or silk shirts, we can’t resist seeing him in a suit. Although we’ve heard that sayings about men in suits instantly being more charming, we didn’t expect to love seeing this star in a suit THIS much? Maybe his natural charisma has something to do with it, but it’s also certain that he also had an eye for detail!
