Among the labels that scored a place on our best-dressed list were regional favourites, including Georges Chakra, Elie Saab and Zuhair Murad, which were worn to awards ceremonies, film festivals and premieres throughout the year.

Also making a splash were designers including London's Ralph & Russo, Italy's Armani Prive and France's Louis Vuitton.
