Announced earlier this year as a month-long celebration, expanding the annual 28 August observance, Emirati Women’s Month offered a longer opportunity to recognise the women shaping life in the UAE. Soigné Middle East marked its close with an intimate lunch at Gigi Rigolatto, J1 Beach, bringing women together for an afternoon centred on connection, ambition and the conversations shaping what comes next. Held on 28 September, the seated gathering offered a fitting close to the month, with empowerment and the women influencing the region’s future at the heart of the table.
Take a look inside the event, held on 28 September, below.























“We are all Emiratis in the UAE” is a sentiment that has resonated across the country this year, speaking to a shared sense of belonging among those who call the Emirates home. In that spirit, Soigné brought together a diverse mix of women from across the UAE, spanning designers, creators, influencers and tastemakers, creating an opportunity to exchange perspectives, share experiences and open up dialogue across different industries and communities.





A beautiful afternoon, made all the more special by the thoughtful details throughout, with our setting by @udora.ae and goodie bags featuring @kayali and @eideal.official.
