On Friday night, a drove of international celebrities, Arab stars, local style icons, and Middle Eastern royalty descended upon the Burj Al Arab for Vogue Arabia’s inaugural Ball of Arabia, in partnership with Tiffany & Co. The star-studded charitable gala, which served to raise funds for the Girls Education and Empowerment Program in the MENA region, kicked off with a dinner attended by the likes of Dutch supermodel Lara Stone, property developer Mohamed Hadid, singer Maritta, and actresses Yasmine Sabri and Dorra Zarrouk, among many others.
The well-heeled guests were treated to a delectable dinner of marinated spotted trevally, Ras el Hanout prawn, eggplant chickpea moussaka, caramelized pumpkin, and Iranian pistachio parfait for dessert. Following a silent auction, courtesy of Tiffany & Co., superstar singer Ciara took to the stage with two dancers to perform a medley of her biggest hits, including Goodies, 1, 2 Step, and Level Up. Of course, there was an after-party, with guests heading to Gold On 27, where DJ DJAD had attendees up on their feet until the early hours.
Click through the slides in the gallery above to see the best pictures from Friday night’s fundraising gala dinner, sponsored by Sobha Realty, Jumeirah Group, and Rolls Royce, and check out the arrivals below.
