Upon arrival, guests enjoyed delicious signature cocktails by Glemorangie and Belvedere, along with a generous flow of PaperKite beer.

Thanks to the creative flair of YSL Beauty, the Astor Room of the St. Regis Kuala Lumpur was decked out in playful pink and black decor in line with YSL Beauty’s youthful new Loveshine collection. YSL Beauty’s pink heart corner was also a popular spot amongst revellers as they gathered to snap wefies and selfies galore.  

Performances by Clinton Jerome, Elvira Arul, Pharreal Phuong, and DJ Victor Goh—all decked out in Chopard timepieces and jewellery—kept the energy high, with guests embracing the laid-back yet undeniably chic vibe of the Astor Room.

There to sate our hunger pangs in between trips to the dance floor and back, immaculately crafted canapés and finger foods were prepared by The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur team, including lychee wasabi snacks, crab cakes and apom balik.
