Description
Huda Kattan Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Welcome back to Biography Flash. I'm your host, and today we're diving into the latest happenings in the world of Huda Kattan, the beauty mogul who continues to dominate headlines.
Just this past week, Huda made a striking appearance at the GQ Middle East Men of the Year event on November 27th in Dubai. The beauty entrepreneur looked absolutely stunning as she mingled with regional and international co-hosts at the exclusive Maison Revka venue, reminding everyone that her influence extends far beyond the beauty industry.
But before that glamorous outing, Huda was dealing with some serious business fallout. In early August, TikTok removed a controversial video she posted accusing Israel of orchestrating multiple global conflicts, including World Wars One and Two, and the September 11th attacks. The video sparked immediate backlash from Jewish groups and civil rights organizations, with the Anti-Defamation League calling the claims antisemitic conspiracy theories. Sephora, one of her major retail partners, publicly confirmed it was actively reviewing the partnership in light of mounting pressure.
Huda responded on Instagram on August 9th, claiming the video was misinterpreted and stating she does not condone any form of hate. She's maintained her vocal support for Palestine, even risking her business to do so, having previously pledged one million dollars to humanitarian organizations in Gaza after regaining full ownership of her company in June 2025.
Speaking of ownership, that's been a major power move for Kattan. She successfully bought back the equity stake from private equity firm TSG Consumer Partners after an eight-year partnership, making Huda Beauty one of the few major beauty companies that is one hundred percent founder-owned. This reclamation of control demonstrated her commitment to steering her empire independently.
However, not all recent news has been positive. In November, Huda Beauty abruptly ended its partnership with Love Island USA star Huda Mustafa after just a month and a half. Kattan cited behavior that didn't align with brand values following a livestream controversy involving racist language. She emphasized that accountability matters and that the brand takes racism seriously.
Despite these challenges, Huda Beauty was ranked the world's most popular beauty brand in the first quarter of 2025, proving that Kattan's hands-on approach and commitment to innovation continue to resonate globally.
