Simi Khadra had an international upbringing

She is very proud of her roots and is usually vocal about her country, from attending human rights protests to helping raise over US$20,000 to power the homes of families in Gaza, per Grazia. “I feel lucky because we are Palestinians,” she said on Jay Shetty’s podcast On Purpose.

She is a DJ

She is a fashion influencer

The twins run a joint Instagram account, @simihaze, where they share snippets of their lavish lifestyles to over 1.6 million followers. But they don’t want to be categorised as “influencers”.

“The word influencer has gotten so diluted, it’s overused in a way that now, I never really want to be in that category,” Haze told GQ. “We’re very careful about it now and anything we do, has to be really authentic. We don’t tag brands that we don’t have a campaign with or are working closely with or are obsessed with.”

She has a beauty line

Simi and Haze also run a make-up company.

Launched in 2021, SimiHaze Beauty offers products for both day and night, from lip balms and face gem stickers to mascaras and eyeshadows, according to its website.

For the Khadra sisters, make-up is less about looking pretty and more about being creative. “Our discovery of beauty didn’t come from a place of ‘Oh, I have to wear make-up to look pretty,’” Simi told Vogue. “It was more, ‘How can we use colour in an interesting, fun, and bold way?’”

She has high-profile friends

However, another friend, supermodel Bella Hadid, who dated the “Starboy” singer on and off from 2015 to 2019, reportedly unfollowed both of them.

She has a famous brother too

Khadra has a brother Fai, who, just like his sisters, also works in the music industry. He is a singer and songwriter who has written for other artists, per The National News.
