It’s the first weekend in May, and with rising temperatures, it’s time to start looking for some indoor activities.<\/p>\n

Between Miranda Priestly’s long-awaited return and a New Balance takeover at Alserkal Avenue, this weekend is pulling no punches.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re after a cinema moment worth dressing up for, a nail appointment that actually delivers, a gift that feels genuinely considered, or simply an excuse to wander somewhere new, GRAZIA has done the planning for you.<\/p>\n

That’s not all<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Miranda Priestly has officially returned to screens, and Dubai is ready. The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/em> \u2013 reuniting Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci and newcomer Simone Ashley \u2013 is now showing across the emirate. Check out GRAZIA’s full guide to The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/em> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Collab Your Hair & Senses Need<\/h3>\n
<\/blockquote>\n

Add a little sugar and sweetness to your weekend with this Chalk and Kayali crossover. The popular hair salon and fragrance house have joined forces for an Eden-inspired week that’s equal parts treat and community love letter. Running until May 3, the Al Quoz salon is offering 30 per cent off all Chalk services alongside Kayali gifting, Meli Greek desserts, Subkou coffee and Franui chocolates \u2014 because why stop at great hair? It’s the kind of neighbourhood moment Dubai does best.<\/p>\n

Pamper time<\/h3>\n
<\/blockquote>\n

Few things reset a week quite like a fresh set, and N.Bar has built something of an institution around that feeling. With over 20 years in the region and 17 Dubai locations, they’ve earned their reputation. Russian manis, GelBottle Flash extensions, chrome finishes, intricate nail art \u2013 it’s all here, done properly.<\/p>\n

Supporting local<\/h3>\n
<\/blockquote>\n

If you’re looking to treat yourself or a loved one this weekend, take a look at Udora. The platform \u2013 a refined rebrand of Flowwow \u2013 has quietly repositioned itself as Dubai’s go-to for considered gifting, connecting you directly with independent local makers. We’re talking bespoke floral arrangements, handcrafted chocolates, niche perfumes and artisan bundles that actually feel personal. Bookmark it now, thank yourself later.<\/p>\n

New Balance’s famous Grey Days is transforming Alserkal Avenue starting this weekend into a 10-day neighbourhood concept running from May 2 to May 10, and it’s the kind of thing you show up to for an hour and leave three hours later. Spread across Gooder, UrArtU, The Workshop DXB and Crank, expect the exclusive Grey Days collection, Ollie’s Pizza, skating performances, DJ sets, workshops and a relay run to close it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31739,"featured_media":70499,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[260,36,35],"yoast_head":"\nThe GRAZIA Dubai Weekend Guide: May 1 To May 3,
