The two-day festival will bring together influential personalities, industry leaders, fashion houses and luxury brands from across the region and beyond.
Two Days of Fashion, Beauty and Industry Conversations
Presented by SHINE Entertainment, The EMIGALA recognises achievements across fashion design, beauty, entrepreneurship, innovation, media, influence and brand leadership. The event celebrates individual talent and luxury brands, providing a platform in Dubai for regional creatives alongside internationally recognised names.
The programme begins on November 14 with an opening ceremony and panel discussions featuring this year’s honourees. The conversations will explore their career journeys, perspectives and contributions to the fashion and beauty industries.
Red Carpet and Awards Ceremony on November 15
The second evening will begin with the red carpet at 6:00 PM, followed by the awards ceremony at 8:00 PM. The ceremony is scheduled to be broadcast live across regional and international television networks, as well as on The EMIGALA’s official YouTube channel, @theemigala.
Celebrating Cultural Diversity Through Fashion and Beauty
“The UAE is home to more than 200 nationalities, each bringing its own culture, traditions and distinctive ways of expressing identity through fashion and beauty. The EMIGALA was born from the idea of celebrating this diversity and bringing people together through the creativity that makes each culture unique,”
Dr. Michel Daher, Founder and President of The EMIGALA
“We are delighted to return to Festival Bay and continue our partnership with Dubai Festival City Mall, whose support helps us bring this vision to life,” he added.

At Dubai Festival City Mall, we continue to create experiences that bring together retail, dining, entertainment and culture in ways that give people new reasons to visit and spend time at the destination.
