For the last two years this world-renowned white party has been hosted in Dubai, and Diner en Blanc is to return to the Middle East for a third time in December. Starting 30 years ago in Paris, the authentique French gathering is hosted all over the world, and requires guests to not only dress in ivory but to match the posh picnic food they bring along to their ensembles too.
Those who are lucky enough to attend don't even know where the venue is until specially-arranged transportation pulls up at the location on the evening, but there's only one way to get yourself on the list…
Yes, it helps to know people in high places because diners must be invited by one of the gatherers for the event - which has versions in London, New York, Sydney and beyond - and that's the only way to get in on the action.
Check out snaps from last year's festivities at La Cantine Du Faubourg, in 2014 it was hosted at Sofitel the Palm. It's expected that 1,000 people will roll up at a random venue in December, so if you're not on the guest list, look out for the chic people in white!
