'I Blame You': Paris Hilton champions Kuwaiti designer Yousef Al Jasmi in new music video

Paris Hilton has a little extra sparkle in her newest music video, courtesy of one of the region's celebrity-beloved designers.

The heiress and reality TV star sports a dress by Kuwaiti couturier Yousef Al Jasmi in the video for her latest single, I Blame You.

Hilton, 39, plucked a shimmering silver mini dress from the designer's eponymous collection, as seen in the video which was released on October 18.

It is the first single that the multi-hyphenate socialite, who has also worked as a model and actress, has released this year.

She first broke into the music scene in 2006 with the track Stars are Blind, and has since released one studio album, Paris, as well as singles such as 2018's I Need You and 2019's BFA.

"Paris Hilton always rocks my creations," said Al Jasmi, as he shared clips from the music video with his 1.6 million followers.

The designer has dressed many of the world's most recognisable names, from Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears to Beyonce and Taylor Swift.

Al Jasmi, who established his brand in 2007, has grabbed headlines in recent years for his crystal-encrusted gowns, with Hilton previously donning a number of designs by the namesake brand.

The Simple Life star revealed I Blame You is dedicated to "the love of my life", entrepreneur Carter Reum, who also makes an appearance in the music video.

"I blame you for making me feel like the happiest girl in the world," Hilton wrote on Instagram as the song was released.

"People say that there is a kind of love that is only found once in every lifetime and I just know that you are that for me. I love you in ways you have never been loved, for reasons that you have never been told and I will love you 'til the end of time."

Emiratisation at work

Emiratisation was introduced in the UAE more than 10 years ago

It aims to boost the number of citizens in the workforce particularly in the private sector.

Growing the number of Emiratis in the workplace will help the UAE reduce dependence on overseas workers

The Cabinet in December last year, approved a national fund for Emirati jobseekers and guaranteed citizens working in the private sector a comparable pension

President Sheikh Khalifa has described Emiratisation as “a true measure for success”.

During the UAE’s 48th National Day, Sheikh Khalifa named education, entrepreneurship, Emiratisation and space travel among cornerstones of national development

More than 80 per cent of Emiratis work in the federal or local government as per 2017 statistics

The Emiratisation programme includes the creation of 20,000 new jobs for UAE citizens

UAE citizens will be given priority in managerial positions in the government sphere

The purpose is to raise the contribution of UAE nationals in the job market and create a diverse workforce of citizens
