Last night the Middle East edition of HELLO! rolled out the red carpet to welcome a glamorous guest list at Café Del Mar, Meydan Beach – situated under the stars on JBR’s The Walk, in celebration of its refreshed look and format, and also its 8th anniversary in the region.
EW’s favourite high society weekly magazine naturally knows how to throw a party, and never ones to miss out on a classy soirée we threw on our LBD’s, strapped on our stilettos and hightailed it to the beachside location to attend the red-carpet bash in style.
A smattering of light rain did nothing to dampen the fun filled atmosphere, thankfully nor did it ruin any blow-dries!
We spotted Syrian designer Rami Al Ali, Rashmi Ahmad of C’est Moi and British-Emirati filmmaker Ali F. Mostafa amongst a crowd of the city’s finest from the fashion, food and leisure industry.
See all our snaps from inside the bash…
