25 years of Malaysia Tatler: Favourite red carpet looks (2008 to 2013)

Fashion has always been about the latest trends and looks but if you are a lady of true style and substance, it doesn't matter what season you are wearing, you will still be able to pull it off.

At the annual Malaysia Tater Ball's red carpet, we can find a long list of ladies dressed in elegant and beautiful gowns that transcends season, trends and fad. From Datin Maureen Ooi's Escada gown in 2009 to Shirieene Hajamaideen's vintage Victor Costa look in 2011, these looks can still make headlines for any red carpet in 2014.

Also, how can we forget the Stylish Woman Award winner for 2012, Marion Caunter, who wore a laced number by Alexander McQueen or 2013 winner Gabrielle Tan who twirled her way to everyone's heart in a custom Celest Thoi gown.

Here, we look back to some of our favourite red carpet looks from the Malaysia Tatler Ball 2008 to 2013.

This year's Malaysia Tatler Ball will be held on November 1st; stay tuned to MalaysiaTatler.com for more red carpet glamour from the night.
