We've a soft spot for Dubai - and sooooo wish we'd been there when Karl Lagerfeld revealed his Chanel Cruise collection on The Island, just off Dubai's shore, the night before last. Our friend Sam McKnight did the stunning 'Marisa Berenson 1970s-inspired' hair, and oh, look at this make-up, with its dark, smouldering extended eye, neutral lips, gilded with touches of real gold leaf.

This wasn't at all the post we were going to share today - but couldn't resist!

It's a treat, we promise.

Not quite as good as being there, but an absolute treat nonetheless.
