The eleventh addition of Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) did not disappoint on the style front. From the fashion elite on the red carpet to studded appearances from Hollywood beauties Olga Kurylenko and Emily Blunt, live entertainment from Aloe Blacc and spectacular after-parties, it was one truly extravagant affair. Didn’t go? Fear not, we’ve rounded up the best images, and the best dressed, from the exciting week of all things cinema and glamour. Boy, you’re one fashionable crowd…Key parties from the week have to be the IWC Schaffhausen soirée hosted by Emily Blunt who was the judge for the brand’s Film Maker Award. Ahead of the party the British actress dazzled in a green Lanvin dress on the red carpet, where she was interviewed by Emirates Woman. Aloe Blacc got the stylish crowds dancing in their Louboutin’s as he sang his classic hits including I Need A Dollar and Wake Me Up. He also did a rendition of Pharrell Williams’ Happy, which sent the crowd into a happy frenzy.

As ever the Moet & Chandon party, held at Pacha rooftop, was the place to be and be seen with lithe dancers providing entertainment accompanied by a live band. Here is our best dressed from DIFF… did you make the cut?
