Dubai’s luxurious hospitality scene welcomed a lavishly celebrated inauguration of the new One&Only One Za’abeel hotel, ushering in an event that glittered with international stars and Bollywood A-listers. Among the galaxy of celebrities, actors Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra, style icon and former model Malaika Arora, along with the magnetic allure of vocalist Jennifer Lopez, graced the affair with their presence, turning the evening into a celebration of splendor.
The illustrious opening night transformed into a canvas where fashion met prestige. Global entertainment icon Jennifer Lopez captivated the elite audience with her enthralling performance. The singer, known for her timeless beauty and electrifying stage presence, enchanted attendees in an elegant black gown complemented by white elbow-length gloves and sophisticated minimal jewellery. Later, the artist changed into a sparkling, dark brown jumpsuit that glittered under the Dubai stars, much to the awe and delight of the onlookers.
In a stunning display of haute couture, Kiara Advani embraced the night’s theme in a classy, black off-shoulder gown, adorned with a shimmering diamond necklace. Her fashion choice for the event spoke volumes of her elegant taste. Beside her, Sidharth Malhotra exuded confidence and contemporary elegance in an orange coat draped over a sleek black suit, finishing the look with a chic black bow.
Gauri Khan, a celebrated interior designer and the spouse of Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan, brought her own flair to the evening with a classy back gown featuring a daring deep neck, paired exquisitely with a luminous diamond necklace, carving an image of sophistication and fine taste.
The event further shimmered with Malaika Arora’s choice of attire—a glamorous, shimmery gown with a bold thigh-high slit—crafted by renowned designer, Irena Soprano. Her presence added a radiant charm to the already sparkling evening.
Complementing the Bollywood brigade was Orry, the social media phenomenon who didn’t shy away from making a statement in a suit with a vibrant splash of colors, embodying the joyful essence of the event. Other international celebrities like Vanessa Hudgens and Naomi Campbell further lent their star power to the festivities, creating an eclectic and glamorous mix of talent and fame.
The night didn’t just mark the unveiling of a new architectural marvel but also the celebration of love, as Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani, who completed a year of marital bliss, commemorated their anniversary. Opting for coordinated black ensembles, the couple were the epitome of grace and style. Reports suggest that the duo enjoyed their anniversary with close friends before attending the grand launch.
After a week filled with jubilations and festivities in the heart of the United Arab Emirates, Dubai’s allure bid adieu to the beloved couple as they were spotted returning home on Monday morning, having imprinted their presence at one of the city’s most opulent events.
The One&Only One Za’abeel’s inauguration was not just a doorway to luxurious hospitality but a night that transcended into a mosaic of fashion, celebrity charm, and breathtaking performances. Dubai once again proved to be the crossroads where the East meets West in a symphony of glamour and elegance, a place where stars align to create unforgettable memories under its vast, starlit skies.
