This year, Tatler’s Christmas ball aims to exceed the funds raised at last year’s ball and support three charitable organisations that are dedicated to the welfare and wellbeing of underprivileged kids in Malaysia, including those in communities outside of urban centres.
There will be a beautiful Christmas tree sponsored by The Melium Group who is also donating 10 luxury fashion items that will be placed under the tree. These items are available for purchase on a first-come, first-served basis via payments to Tatler Malaysia’s GiveAsia.com charity crowdfunding page. To kickstart this crowdfunding initiative, The Melium Group is donating RM10,000 upfront.
There will also be silent auctions for a pair of Malaysia Airlines Business Class tickets to London, a 3D2N stay at The Ritz-Carlton Langkawi’s Villa Kenari, and extraordinary artworks by Qing Gallery’s famed artists.
The money raised from the silent auctions and the GiveAsia crowdfunding page will go to Yayasan Chow Kit, Make-A-Wish Malaysia, and Orphan Care.

From lavish facials to dazzling make-up looks, the ladies of Tatler Ball are known to pull out all the stops when it comes to their red carpet looks.
As a special treat for these belles of the ball, Tatler Ball's official beauty service partner Beauty & Co will be having a dedicated Beauty & Co Suite at the Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur on December 1 and 2 for guests to receive a complimentary red carpet facial. They will also take home a Beauty & Co voucher worth RM5,000 and a gift bag from Armani Beauty.

Say cheese! At Tatler Ball, you'll see several cameramen dressed in black who are ever ready to swoop in and capture candid moments of our guests in their gorgeous apparel. So don't be surprised when a photographer randomly asks you to strike a pose or raise your wrist to show off your beautiful accessories for the camera.
Tatler Tip: While we know our photographers are very popular with guests who love requesting for multiple photos and angles, here's a gentle reminder to refrain from 'hogging' them as well as the photo-wall area. Do let other guests have their moment in the spotlight too.

As is tradition, Tatler Ball 2022 will be held at the Grand Ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur. This beautiful space and the foyer outside it will be decked out in festive Christmas lights, decorations and flowers, so be sure to take plenty of photos for social media.
Ladies, be sure to bring a shawl (or be prepared to borrow your date's jacket) as the ballroom may reach 'winter wonderland' temperature levels.
Tatler Tip: Year after year, the most sought-after photo corners for Tatler Ball guests are the spiral staircase and the ladies' bathroom, both of which make especially dazzling backdrops for your black-tie #OOTD shots.
See you at #TatlerBall22!
