How guests brought their sartorial flair to the Tatler Ball 2026 red carpet

The annual Tatler Ball took place on October 30 this year at The Singapore Edition, as Tatler Singapore draws closer to a landmark anniversary. Its theme, A Constellation of Brilliance, brought together visionaries, tastemakers and cultural leaders, each “a brilliant light in their own right”, together illuminating the future.

On the red carpet, the Tatler community gave that idea its own interpretation, from the most gorgeous floor-sweeping satin gowns to bejewelled timepieces to the final detail. Click through the gallery below to see how our guests brought their sartorial flair to the Tatler Ball 2026 red carpet—including some standout accessories seen on wrists and necks.

Influence is not simply a measure of power, prominence or public recognition. Its true value lies in what people do with it: the ideas they bring to life, the opportunities they create and the lasting difference they make to the world around them.

Across Asia, a new generation of innovators is challenging established ways of thinking, while experienced leaders are finding new ways to drive progress. Entrepreneurs are reshaping industries, scientists are advancing discoveries with far-reaching implications, cultural figures are bringing Asian creativity to global audiences, and advocates are tackling challenges that have long gone unaddressed.

Ten years ago, Aditi and Aditya Dugar opened Masque in a former textile mill in Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi neighbourhood. The menu came one way: a tasting menu built around Indian produce, served over several hours. Diners who wanted to order à la carte would have to eat somewhere else.

“There was no playbook for a tasting-menu-only restaurant in India at the time,” says Aditi Dugar, co-founder and director of hospitality and fine-dining group Urban Gourmet India, which owns and operates Masque along with other F&B concepts TwentySeven Bake House and Paradox bar. “Honestly, a lot of people in the industry told us we were crazy. They questioned whether Indian diners would ever commit to a multi-course meal lasting a few hours.”

The gamble paid off. Beyond becoming one of Mumbai’s most sought-after dining destinations, Masque has earned recognition on the international stage, ranking No. 15 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026, being named India’s Best Restaurant for the fifth time and receiving this year’s Art of Hospitality Award. For its 10th anniversary celebrations in September, the restaurant brought together friends from across the culinary world to cook alongside its team.

Ubud, the wellness capital of Bali, has no shortage of reasons to venture out, from its independent restaurants and galleries to the temples and markets tucked into its streets. Yet at Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, it is easy to find a happy excuse to stay put.

Set in a green valley along the Ayung River, the resort looks out towards forested hills and rice fields. There is little urgency to the days here. A personal butler, known as a Patih, takes care of the practicalities, while the river and surrounding rainforest provide a welcome counterpoint to the noise of everyday life. By the time dinner rolls around, the prospect of heading into town seems far less appealing than staying in to see what the kitchen has planned.

One morning, we venture into the forest with Eka Sunarya, executive sous chef of Mandapa and the culinary mind behind Kubu. This is the land of his ancestors, and walking through it with him offers a fresh understanding of what it means to cook with local ingredients. Amidst the dense foliage, we encounter native plants that might otherwise go unnoticed, each part of a landscape that has sustained generations before him.

There are few better confirmations of a designer’s work than being invited back almost two decades later. For Jie Design, DN House in South Jakarta presented precisely that opportunity: the 11,840 sq ft landed home was originally designed by the studio 18 years ago for the same family, and has remained in the lives of its owners ever since. The latest intervention is a considered update that retains the architecture while bringing the interiors into step with the family’s changing needs.

The house belongs to a single family with two sons, now in their early twenties. Over the years, the relationship between client and designer had extended beyond this one project, with Jie Design completing numerous other projects for the family. When the owner eventually approached the studio about renovating DN House, the request was unusual for Yuni Jie, founder of Jie Design, who typically works on blank canvases rather than renovations. But their longstanding relationship made the decision an easy one.
