In celebration of Emirati Women’s Day, the latest GRAZIA Gathering brought together 28 incredible women for an evening of community and conversation. Held within the private villas of Erth Abu Dhabi, the perfect combination of nature, heritage, and contemporary Emirati design.

The experience began the moment the doors opened. Each guest was chauffeured to the event in ultra-premium BMW vehicles courtesy of BMW Abu Dhabi, setting the tone for an evening of quiet luxury. Swept into plush leather seats with GRAZIA travel pouches at their side, every detail was designed to feel effortless and refined. The seamless journey made arriving at Erth Abu Dhabi a statement – elegant, smooth, and truly special.

Upon arrival, the private villa was transformed by Brunello Cucinelli’s signature Italian elegance, bringing timelessness to life by dressing the space with the same harmony, softness, and soulful details that define their collections. As the evening unfolded, guests were treated to an exclusive fashion presentation by the Italian house, showcasing nine looks that captured the brand’s signature elegance and effortless sophistication.

Hosted by GRAZIA’s Olivia Morris, Erth Abu Dhabi, and Brunello Cucinelli’s regional team, we welcomed guests to an inspiring evening. With a special touch, Brunello Cucinelli personally styled some of our guests, including Alia Al Khafajy, Wafa Al Falahi, Amina Taher, Fatma Al Taher, and Aida Al Busaidy, by dressing them in pieces that embodied the brand’s sense of timeless elegance and understated luxury. The evening was a celebration of the remarkable stories, strength, and grace of the UAE’s extraordinary women.

The night continued with a beautifully curated dinner by Chef Maitha, whose thoughtful menu paid tribute to local ingredients and Emirati culinary heritage. Each course offered a modern interpretation of traditional flavours, reflecting both her creative vision and deep cultural roots. The setting was just as refined, with tablescapes by Darcey Flowers that blended soft florals with natural textures that continued the night’s themes of elegance, heritage, and understated luxury.

A GRAZIA Gathering isn’t complete without a measure of generosity. As the evening drew to a close, guests were treated to a collection of thoughtful tokens – elegant, considered, and profoundly personal. The gift selection included the latest Sonos Ace headphones, skincare essentials by Augustinus Bader, a silk turban by Slip, a Baobab Collection candle, beauty favourites from Hourglass, indulgent surprises from Brunello Cucinelli, and coveted skincare treasures from Sisley Paris.

Each token was chosen to create a lasting reminder of the beauty of connection, culture, and community celebrated that evening.
