From red carpet glamour to heartwarming awards speeches, here’s what went down at #TatlerBall22 last Friday
“I'll always consider Tatler Ball as the last and best ball of them all, a fabulous way to end the year,” as one Tatler Ball guest enthused on the night itself. We couldn't have said it better.
Despite rainy weather and rush hour traffic on Friday evening, our guests made a grand entrance at the grand ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur dressed in a stunning array of mesmerising looks inspired by the ‘White Christmas’ theme. Chopard, being the premium sponsor of the ball, lived up to its reputation as a red carpet jeweller, with many of our stylish guests accessorised in its glamorous watches and jewellery. Read our style report to find out who wore what Chopard luxurious pieces.

After snapping pictures at the photo wall, guests were ushered into the foyer where a glittering Christmas tree awaited. Under the tree sponsored by The Melium Group were 10 luxury items donated by the luxury retailer that could be purchased by guests on the spot. One hundred per cent of the proceeds would go 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.
The Melium Christmas Tree was popular with stylish ladies like Lee Jim Leng, Datin Meera Sen, and Datin Joanna Low. Other esteemed guests like Chopard's managing director of Asia & Oceania Pierre Millereau flew in to Kuala Lumpur to be part of this special occasion.
