Last Thursday saw the glamorous bash of Chanel’s Little Black Jacket Exhibition opening in Dubai.
The star-studded affair was held in a sleek black marquee at The Venue, Downtown, in true Chanel style.
With a strict invite-only policy, Dubai’s elite mingled with a celebrity cast list that included Rita Ora, Gaspard Ulliel, Alma Jodorowsky, Caroline de Maigret and twins, Haya and Sama Abu Khadra.
With a total ban on photographers inside, EW can reveal stylish revellers indulged in a sleek sushi bar, delicious canapés and plenty of bubbles, while enjoying Rita Ora’s surprise private performance and ending the night on the dance floor with Too Many DJs playing an impressive set.
See who attended and what they wore for one of Dubai’s hottest events of the year.
