Few professional paths cross as many industries as Ayse Top’s. Based in Dubai, she has built a career that spans luxury real estate, film, fashion, media, and advocacy — a portfolio that reflects the city’s own reputation as a meeting point for ambition, glamour, and opportunity. In a market known for reinventing itself every few years, Ayse has positioned herself not as a specialist in one lane, but as a connector across several — property, entertainment, publishing, and public life — each feeding into the next.
A Voice in Dubai’s Luxury Property Market
As an international entrepreneur and real estate investment consultant, Ayse works within Dubai’s high-end property sector for Oasis City Dubai, engaging with branded residential developments tied to some of the world’s most recognizable luxury names — Bugatti, Jacob & Co., Lamborghini, Hermès, and Mercedes-Benz. These branded-residence projects have become a defining feature of Dubai’s skyline in recent years, as developers increasingly partner with fashion houses, jewelers, and automakers to sell not just square footage but a fully designed lifestyle. Working in this space means Ayse spends her days at the intersection of real estate advisory and brand storytelling, guiding investors toward properties where architecture, craftsmanship, and prestige are inseparable from the pitch. Her background across media and fashion gives her an intuitive read on what luxury buyers are actually responding to — presentation, narrative, and exclusivity — as much as location or floor plan.
A Presence in Film and Entertainment
Ayse’s creative work extends into the entertainment industry, where she has been recognized as a film producer in connection with Dark Quil Film and Paul Hughbanks Entertainment, with her contributions acknowledged by the Millionaire Lifestyle Awards Dubai. She is also active as an actress and has served as a film festival judge, including participation tied to the Global Short Film Awards during the Cannes Film Festival period — one of the industry gatherings that draws filmmakers, producers, and press to the French Riviera each spring. That dual role, evaluating other filmmakers’ work while producing and acting in her own, gives her a vantage point on the industry that few entrants into entertainment achieve so quickly, and it dovetails with the red-carpet visibility she has built through fashion and pageantry.
Media, Writing, and the Runway
In publishing, Ayse has received recognition from Exclusive World of Records for her writing. Her media career has also included work as a journalist and reporter, alongside a modeling career that has taken her down runways in Cannes, Milan, and Paris — three cities that, between them, define much of the modern fashion calendar. That red-carpet presence traces back to 2018, when she was crowned Ms Netherlands Universe, a title that helped launch her international profile in fashion and pageantry and opened doors into catwalk modeling, media appearances, and the kind of event circuit where business, fashion, and film regularly overlap.
Advocacy Beyond the Spotlight
Outside of business and entertainment, Ayse is an advocate for children’s education, using her international platform to push for greater access and opportunity for young people. It’s a cause she has kept present alongside her more visible work in real estate and media — a reminder that her public profile isn’t only about visibility for its own sake, but a platform she’s chosen to put toward something outside her own career.
Taken together, these threads — property, production, publishing, and philanthropy — describe a career built less on staying in one lane than on moving fluidly between them. Her profile has been featured across outlets including Forbes, Cosmopolitan, Vogue, and Harper’s Bazaar, a reflection of a career built at the crossroads of business, glamour, and purpose, and one that continues to expand as Dubai itself keeps redefining what luxury looks like.
