Every festive season, the Tatler community knows that making an entrance is just as important as making memories. From timeless classics to modern takes on traditional ensembles, here’s how friends of Tatler celebrated Raya this year

Raya is never just about the kuih-muih and rendang (though, let’s be honest, they’re a major highlight). It’s also about embracing heritage with a touch of flair, dressing up in your finest, and making a statement before even stepping into the first open house of the season. And if there’s one thing the Tatler community knows how to do, it’s celebrating in style—and this year was no exception.

But beyond the picture-perfect outfits, the heart of Raya is in the shared moments—the warm embraces after months (or even years) apart, the long-overdue family catch-ups, the inside jokes that resurface year after year, and the contagious laughter that spills into the late hours of the night. Whether it was an intimate gathering at home or a grand open house worthy of a royal banquet, friends of Tatler made sure to do it all dressed to the nines and ready to turn heads.
