We imagine the crowd was pretty Starry Eyed…
She hasn’t performed in Dubai since 2015, but Ellie Goulding managed to fly in under the radar this week.
The British chart-topper was the guest of honour at an exclusive party held in the city on Thursday, performing for a VIP crowd at the one-night-only event.

The Love Me Like You Do singer wowed the crowds at the Cartier Party DXB, taking to the stage in a metallic Isabel Marant suit.
Goulding shared a sneak peek of her outfit as she lounged backstage, after being flown in just for the occasion.
She was also suitably decked out in the luxury label’s fine jewellery, sporting a diamond-studded choker and earrings on the night.
The On My Mind star also changed into a scarlet gown during her set at a venue next to the Dubai Canal.
If you saw the waterway light up with red on the night too, that was also Cartier, who put on quite the show.
Here’s a sneak peek at Goulding’s performance on the night:

It’s not known if the star’s sticking around or if she’s already jetted back to the UK, but we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled around the city this week.
(We’re also going to have Goulding’s back catalogue stuck in our heads for the rest of the day…).
