Proudly sponsored by Cortina Watch Malaysia, Getha, YSL Beauty, KPJ Healthcare, Moët Hennessy, The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur, and Royal Selangor, Tatler Ball saw over 400 guests dressed impeccably to the theme of ‘Nusantara’, a sophisticated nod to the rich sartorial heritage of the Malay Archipelago.

Dressed to the nines, our guests arrived at the Grand Ballroom of The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur to be greeted with Hennessy VSOP and Hennessy XO welcome drinks from our Moët Hennessy counter at the main foyer. The tipples continued inside the ballroom, where guests savoured cocktails at the Belvedere and Hennessy booths.
The evening started off on a delicious note thanks to an array of exquisite, Nusantara-inspired canapes prepared by the culinary geniuses at The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur. Dinner was served in the ballroom, comprising a mouth-watering three-course menu curated by The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur’s executive chef, Norazizi Taslim and his team. The menu was paired with Terrazas Reserva Chardonnay, Reserva Malbec and Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon, in addition to a generous flow of Moët and Whispering Angel to accompany the appetisers served that evening.

The evening came to its highlight with the presentation of the Tatler Impact Awards 2025. First up was Malaysia’s music icon Dato’ Sheila Majid, who took to the stage to receive Tatler’s Impact Award for Culture, surprising the crowd with a performance that had everyone on their feet. Taylor’s University’s Professor Dr Chong Pei Pei was then honoured with the Tatler Innovation Award for her contributions to women’s health, and entrepreneur Bryan Loo took home the Tatler Impact Award for Business. Last but not least, the Tatler Impact Award for Humanity was given to YB Gobind Singh Deo, whose wife Sangeeta Sidhu received the award on his behalf.
As a memorable token to celebrate their inspiring achievements, our Tatler Impact awardees were presented with a custom Royal Selangor trophy, a YSL Beauty MUSE Eau de Parfum fragrance and two pairs of Getha Lux Suite Aurum TRX Tickets.
