Keffiyehs are a form of scarf that has long been worn throughout the Middle East. According to CNN, there are often black and white or red and white thread and tassel details along the edges, which were first used by nomadic farmers as protection from the sun and wind. Over the years, Npr reports that they have become symbols of Palestinian cultural identity and political resistance and activism. According to business Insider, pro-Palestinian demonstrators have often worn several versions of kefir during protests over the past 9 years, including the 3-month-old Hadid on May 1.

keffiyeh has also appeared in fashion and pop culture for many years. For example, in an episode of "Sex and the City" in 2002, Carrie Bradshaw, in a work designed by Michael and Fushi, ties Kefir to the top. Several attempts to incorporate keffiyeh into fashion, such as when Louis Vuitton released the "Monogram Keffieh Stall" reportedly inspired by keffiyeh in 2021, have been met with accusations of cultural appropriation. The house pulled the pieces from the shelves after the backlash, the fashion business reported at the time.

The model had previously talked about her pride in her Palestinian pedigree. Her fragrance label, Šrebella's all-natural formula, is partly inspired by her relatives. "Whether you are a Palestinian or an Arab, our family is putting olive oil on everything. It was, to me, something special that I could put in and an ode to my legacy," she told Vogue.

The artist met at the gala wearing a 4ceasfire pin.
