From riveting Christmas décor to exclusive art displays, here are the memorable details that made #TatlerBall22 a roaring success
This year's Tatler Ball was one for the books, as seen from the smiling faces of our glamorous guests and the surge of #TatlerBall22 posts that flooded social media over the weekend. Attended by corporate magnates, local celebrities, style icons, and royalty, Tatler Ball marked the end of another challenging year with a meaningful evening in celebration of charity and goodwill.
The ball's success would not have been possible without the participation of valued sponsors and brand partners who came together to make it a truly elevated affair. Our guests also deserve appreciation for their generous donations to Make-a-Wish Malaysia, OrphanCare Foundation, and Yayasan Chow Kit via Tatler Ball’s GiveAsia crowdfunding page, which is open for donations from now until December 25, 2022.
