Nicole Rodrigues, the visionary CEO of Diva Dubai Modeling Agency, has been a driving force in the Middle East's fashion and entertainment industries for over two decades. As the founder of the oldest and most influential modeling agency in the UAE, Nicole reflects on the passion that led her to start Diva Dubai in 2003, and the mission that continues to guide the agency’s success today.

The Beginning of a Vision:

"I had a passion for talent development," says Nicole Rodrigues, recounting the early days of Diva Dubai. "I saw the potential in so many young individuals who dreamed of making it in the fashion and entertainment industries, but they lacked the guidance and support needed to navigate this competitive world. That’s when I knew I wanted to create a platform that would not only represent these talents but also nurture and develop them into successful professionals."

Nicole’s deep-rooted commitment to talent development has been the cornerstone of Diva Dubai’s philosophy. From its inception, the agency was designed to be more than just a traditional modeling agency. Nicole envisioned a full-service platform that would offer comprehensive support to models and creative professionals, helping them achieve their dreams and build lasting careers.

Building an Industry Leader:

Under Nicole’s leadership, Diva Dubai quickly grew to become a powerhouse in the Middle East, representing over 45,000 talents across various fields, including modeling, acting, photography, styling, and event support. The agency’s success is a testament to Nicole’s dedication to excellence, innovation, and her unwavering belief in the potential of the talents she represents.

"Starting Diva Dubai was about creating opportunities," Nicole explains. "I wanted to ensure that every model who walked through our doors had the chance to reach their full potential. This meant offering not just representation, but also the tools, training, and support they needed to succeed."

A Legacy of Nurturing Talent:

Over the years, Diva Dubai has become synonymous with talent development. The agency offers a range of specialized training programs, including model training, acting courses, and photography workshops. These programs are designed to equip talents with the skills, confidence, and professionalism required to thrive in the industry.

"I’m incredibly proud of the talent we’ve nurtured at Diva Dubai," Nicole adds. "Seeing our models succeed, both regionally and internationally, is the most rewarding part of what we do. It’s a testament to the hard work, passion, and dedication of our entire team."

Looking to the Future:

As Diva Dubai continues to grow and evolve, Nicole remains focused on her mission to provide a platform where talent can flourish. The agency has expanded its services to include digital marketing, media production, and studio rentals, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of the industry.

"While we’ve achieved a lot over the past 21 years, there’s still so much more I want to accomplish," Nicole says. "My passion for talent development hasn’t waned; it’s only grown stronger. I’m excited about the future and the new opportunities we’ll create for the next generation of talent."
