Jennifer Lopez, 54, was one of the most famous attendees, rocking a black strapless Gambatista Valli ball gown which she accessorised with Sartoro emerald earrings and silver gloves.

The One&Only One Za'abeel is an exciting new arrival for Dubai, and is described as the world's "urban resort" to take note of. 

After JLo's performance, the party continued with Mark Ronson and Idris Elba on the decks.
