Venue: Hilton Kuala Lumpur

Dress Code: Gold Standard*
*A luxe, monochrome palette of gold, champagne, and black to echo “excellence.” – think sequins, satin, and a little shimmer-fuelled swagger. Ladies can go bold with metallic gowns and statement bling, while gents should suit up with gold accents, trophy-shaped accessories, or hashtag-print socks for that cheeky campaign flair.
