From football stars to Formula 1 drivers…

Dubai is no stranger to celebrities and famous faces coming down for a visit, and with the season fully underway, they’re flocking to sunny UAE now more than ever. The stars flocked to the city this past week to celebrate New Year’s Eve in style and we have the full list of sightings.

The supermodel was another famous face at the uber exclusive Umar Kamani New Year’s Eve bash, which hosted a number of other celebrities. The party looked insane, and we’d be lying if we said we didn’t get a tiny bit of FOMO.
