Tatlergrams of the week: #MYTatlerBall2016

From the moment our guests arrive to the second they leave the Malaysia Tatler Ball, they are surrounded and hounded by a highly capable and well-trained army of photographers and videographers, whose mission for the night is to ensure that every beautiful guest, every gorgeous gown, every sharp suit and every fun moment is recorded in our history books. But some of the real magic is often gained by seeing the night through the eyes of our guests themselves. This year we recorded over 800 posts (and still climbing) on Instagram, using the hashtag #MYTatlerBall2016 and #TatlerFirstPlatinum as our guests gave us their own point-of-view of the 27th Anniversary Malaysia Tatler Ball.

Here we've compiled just a fraction of the photos for your viewing pleasure.

Although we've come to expect our guests to arrive dressed in their best, our breaths are still taken away, when we first lay eyes on them. (photo: @smokinshaz)

But the ladies weren't the only ones -- the men brought their 'A' games too. (photo: @bluejacketsfraternity)

Lee sisters Diani, Dianna and Datin Dian didn't just show up looking radiant, they also paid tribute to the late Sonny Son by dressing from his collection. (photo: @dianlcl)

The Nasimuddin brothers may have joked that they looked like best men to the groom... (photo: @faisalnasimuddin)

... but there's no joke in how this family balls. (photo: @nadianasimuddin)

An A-Lister through and through, Jovian Mandagie is flanked by the beautiful women dressed in his designer-wear. (photo: @jmandagie)

We're going to assume the beau-swap was intentionally accidental... (photo: @marisasoraya)

...because it's all smiles with this bunch. (photo: @jeslinahashim)

The interference you're seeing is the electricity between Jason Choong, Teo Yi Ping, Aliff Hawan and Rebekah Yeoh, having a ball of a time. (photo: @aliff)

Kim Raymond and her brother, Keith flank one half of our 'Couple of the Year,' Datin Seri Joyce Raymond... (photo: @kimchiraymond)

... before Kim got this picture of her father, Dato' Seri Jeffrey Raymond with his best friend, Datuk Wan Fusil Mahmood. (photo: @kimchiraymond)

With so many people to meet, and so many pictures to take, collages were also frequently used... (photo: @celestthoi)

... because why settle for one picture, when you can have 10? (photo: @celestthoi)

Chryseis Tan and the best moments of her night. (photo: @chrystan_x)

Anything the girls can do, the guys can do too. (photo: @brianchoooo)

While the Celcom First Platinum photo booth was an elegant hot spot for photos, we think table 56 takes the prize for balling. (photo: @leenersyap)

Dr Shaun Alexander may not consider himself much of a social butterfly, but with Dr Andrea and Andre Lim by his side, he may just have spread his wings. (photo: @dr.shaunalexander)

The beatiful gowns and the gorgeous ladies wearing them weren't the only things sparkling on the evening. (photo: @nadia_mustaffa)

Some of our Generation T listers Ju Nn Phang, Lee Yin Yen and Melissa Sin, brought a touch of youth and plenty of fun to this year's ball. (photo: @mssasin)
