      The city is a magnet for the A-List jet set… 
      During the winter months, celebrities regularly flock to Dubai. Be it for soaking in the winter sun, experiencing the luxuries of our five-star resorts, or visiting on business, Dubai regularly attracts the stars.
      Here are 8 celebrities we’ve spotted in Dubai this February.
      Adriana Lima

      Supermodel Adriana Lima dazzled on the catwalk as she closed out Manish Malhotra’s star-studded show at Dubai Fashion Week. The designer shared some BTS snaps of the duo at his flagship store in Dubai Fashion Avenue to Instagram of the pre-show fittings.
      Rochelle Hulmes

      TV presenter, former popstar, and founder of My Little Coco, Rochelle Holmes visited Dubai to launch her children’s skincare brand  at the start of February. She shared snaps in a ‘Dubai dump’ from the launch event at La Cantine Beach – which also saw fellow former popstar Jameelia in attendance, as well as recording a podcast at Aura Skypool.
      Kate and Rio Ferdinand

      Footballer-turned-broadcaster Rio Ferdinand and his influencer wife Kate Ferdinand landed in Dubai for ‘a little bit of work, a little bit of fun’ according to a post she shared on Instagram. In the series of pics, they appear to have had lunch at J1 hotspot Gigi, drinks at Siddhartha Lounge, and snapped up some of the viral Dubai chocolate.

      TikTok sensation Gstaad Guy has spent much of the first part of 2025 in Dubai. He’s regularly been seen dining around town, frequently visiting Sirene by Gaia, the new J1 beach club. But it’s not been all fun and no work, he’s also launched a Poubel pop-up at ICD Brookfield, bringing his kitsch charm-based jewellery brand to an IRL store in Dubai for the first time.

      As part of a brand trip with Revive Collagen, founded by former reality TV star turned beauty mogul Sam Faires, presenter and actress Amanda Holden visited Dubai at the start of February.

      Frankie Bridge

      Presenter and author Frankie Bridge made the most of Dubai’s sun-soaked February weather with a trip to Atlantis, The Palm with one of her besties.
