I agree--that was a gorgeous looking dress from what we could see of it--would have loved to see more.
..It may also be worth noting--and I'm not trying to be catty at all here, quite the contrary--that some of Nagua's expression may be...well...her neutral facial expression. I saw her recently, and her neutral expression (when she's just sitting, not really looking at much of anything) looks a little pinched and like she might be displeased. This might be exaggerated by the cosmetic surgery she's had (Remember, she's in her mid-70s now, so she was in her 60s when this video was taken.) So...she may not have been *trying* to give the dancer a nasty puss the whole time.
I actually wondered about the source of this competition was too. I mean, overall, the aesthetic of the TV set and the dancing was more modern Lebanese (heeled shoes, super skinny dancers, some of the type/quality of her movements) but I don't know who the dancers themselves were/where they were from. I doubt these women were beginners, but it could be that the dancer in the video is considered quite good where she comes from or where she generally performs, but doesn't "get" the Egyptian music she was using for her piece. Nagua, as an Egyptian legend and Setrak as a musician would have pretty strong opinions about how one should dance to Azzia.
