As we approached the year’s culmination, I had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with Maryrose Salubre for a spectacular celebration that would resonate with glamour, warmth, and sheer joy. StarCentral Magazine’s end-of-year party, held on December 17 at the opulent Sir Stamford Hotel in Circular Quay, was an affair to remember.

From the very beginning, we wanted to create an experience that engaged not only the eyes and ears but also the taste buds. The night was adorned with scrumptious canapes, refreshing drinks, and delightful sweet bread, ensuring that every attendee was treated to a culinary journey.
Regal Affair: Crowning the Mrs Universe Official Queens
One of the highlights of the evening was the crowning of the new Mrs. Universe Official queens. The regal ceremony added an extra layer of prestige to the celebration, honoring remarkable women who have made a significant impact.
Melodic Magic: Janie Kogan’s Alluring Performance
The air was filled with enchantment as Janie Kogan took the stage, serenading the audience with the timeless melody of “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Her performance added a touch of magic, infusing the night with festive cheer.
