Here’s a rundown on the best of style this November 2024
Once again, style came in full force this month, offering an exciting array of fashion, beauty, and jewellery highlights. We had the opportunity to explore new collections, attend exclusive previews, and mingle with some of our favourite recurring faces in the Tatler sphere. This month, the spotlight shone on Bulgari, who unveiled their newest high jewellery creations to the Philippine market.
Adding to the excitement, our annual Tatler Ball is due to take place and we can already bet a parade of guests to show up in their finest attire.

In a special collaboration, Swiss-based Sassi Fine Jewellery tagged three Filipino fashion designers—namely Abdul Gaffar, Glyn Alley Magtibay, and Hannah Adrias—to create ensembles inspired by the brand’s unique collections. Gaffar took design notes from the Tanit collection, creating a piece that reflects both modernity and tradition, while Magtibay’s reflected on the swirling motifs of the Horta collection. At the same time, Hannah Adrias used her empathetic approach to fashion to create a piece inspired by Sassi’s The Secret of Berenice collection.
