Paris – H.R.H Princess Elea E. S. Anwar, M.B.A — popularly known as Lea Elfara — received the Multiface France International Celebrity Award 2025, a prestigious recognition for her multifaceted impact on global culture, entertainment, and humanitarian causes.
The award ceremony, held near the iconic Eiffel Tower, brought together leaders in international arts and diplomacy. While Lea was unable to attend the initial celebration on May 18, she personally received the award from Paulette Mouquet, founder and president of Multiface France, upon her arrival in Paris on May 28.
Lea Elfara is no stranger to global recognition. With a multicultural background — Indonesian, Arab, and Chinese — and royal lineage tied to the Sultanate of Cirebon, she embodies both tradition and modern internationalism.
Her early years were marked by academic excellence, consistently topping her classes from elementary through high school. She pursued higher education at several top institutions, including the University of Indonesia, Interstudi, and Melbourne Business School.
Starting as a child singer and commercial model, Lea gradually transitioned into a producer role, releasing three religious music albums and collaborating with global names like Maher Zain, Mustafa Debu, and Tony Taylor. In film, her documentary “33 Faces of Indonesia” showcased the diverse cultural identity of 33 provinces, in collaboration with Dutch filmmaker Alexander Valeton.
Her entrepreneurial journey is equally expansive, spanning industries from fashion, beauty, and culinary ventures to finance, mining, property, defense, and media production. “I prefer to be behind the camera,” she once shared. “It gives me peace and allows me to focus on my true calling.”
Beyond business and entertainment, Lea has consistently advocated for humanitarian causes, especially relating to Palestinian issues. Her life reflects a rare blend of artistic talent, business acumen, and moral conviction.
The Multiface France award joins a growing list of accolades Lea has received, including:
- Lapis Awards 2025 in Dubai (International Adviser Honor)
- World Meet Award USA (2024, presented in Thailand)
- Asia’s Golden Icon Awards in the Philippines (Distinguished Humanitarian Advocate)
Lea is currently finalizing a humanitarian-themed song, Brighter Day’s Coming, in collaboration with Tony Taylor, now in the final arrangement stages in New York.
Asked about the meaning of success, Lea shared her guiding principle:
“Success is not about fame or fortune, but about being useful — to yourself, your family, your community, and your nation.”
She recalled a pivotal lesson from her cousin and business mentor:
“If you are destined to be a great entrepreneur, you will also face great trials. So don’t whine. Fall, rise again. Entrepreneurs must be resilient.”
In a world eager for authentic voices and inclusive leadership, Lea Elfara stands out not just as a celebrity, but as a global citizen with purpose and conviction.
