On November 13, a new cultural celebration will make its debut in Dubai. Taking over the Forum Ballroom at Delano Dubai, Bluewaters, the Vogue Arabia Ball: Art Edition will gather figures from across fashion, art, entertainment and culture for an invitation-only evening unlike any other event Vogue Arabia has staged before. The 2026 Ball marks the beginning of a new annual celebration by Vogue Arabia, conceived as a live extension of the brand and the world it represents.
For its debut, the focus is art – specifically, art through the female gaze. Women and their perspectives will inform the evening, with the Art Edition bringing attention to those contributing to the region’s cultural conversation today. At its heart is a belief in art as something that can unite people and inspire belonging, pride and optimism.
The theme will be brought to life in collaboration with two Emirati artists: Shaikha Al Mazrou, whose sculptural practice explores form, material, colour and space, and Dhabia Al Qubaisi, an emerging contemporary artist working across painting, mixed media and textiles. Their distinctive artistic perspectives will be integrated into an immersive experience created specifically for the Ball.
