In celebration of its 40th anniversary, Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur hosted An Afternoon in Style on Saturday, 19th July 2025, a chic afternoon tea and fashion show experience that beautifully combined timeless hospitality with Malaysian creativity.
Held at the hotel’s Lobby Lounge, the one-day event paid homage to the golden era of Kuala Lumpur’s social scene, where weekend fashion shows and elegant high teas were a beloved tradition.
This special afternoon reimagined that legacy with a modern flair, warmly received by a lively crowd of invited guests, fashion enthusiasts, and media friends.
Guests were treated to a stunning showcase of Carven Ong’s Signature Spring/Summer 2025 collection, featuring contemporary linen pieces that blend comfort, elegance, and effortless style.
The collection reflected a refreshing, modern aesthetic – perfect for today’s lifestyle, yet timeless in appeal.
Adding to the afternoon’s charm were exclusive designer handbags by Ryan Lee and exquisite jewellery by Grace Teoh, both proudly highlighting local artistry and craftsmanship.
To complement the fashion showcase, guests enjoyed a specially curated 40th Anniversary Afternoon Tea, featuring handcrafted delights infused with premium blends from the London Tea Exchange.
The elegant tea set included a selection of savoury bites, delicate desserts, and premium teas, all served with the gracious service that defines Shangri-La hospitality.
The 40th Anniversary Afternoon Tea Set is available daily at the Lobby Lounge until 15th August 2025, offering more guests the opportunity to savour this refined culinary experience in celebration of the hotel’s milestone year.
In his welcome remarks, General Manager Daniel Kaeflein shared: “This year is a very special one for all of us at Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur.
“As we celebrate four decades of heartfelt hospitality, we’re proud to honour our legacy while creating new memories with our guests.”
“Today’s event brings together two things we value deeply, meaningful experiences and the celebration of local artistry.
“We’re delighted to share this moment with all of you,” he added.
The event also featured an exclusive lucky draw, where guests stood a chance to win exciting prizes including ready-to-wear couture by Carven Ong, luxury stays across Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts in Malaysia and memorable dining experiences.
An Afternoon in Style was more than a celebration of fashion; it was a heartfelt tribute to four decades of creating cherished memories at Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur.
