Guests will be mingling with Richens as well as B's own models. B-Yond - the company responsible for the event - is refusing to reveal the location to anyone other than those attending the party this Friday, May 7. They have, however, insisted that the venue is one of Dubai's most breathtaking and spectacular outdoor surrounds.

No tickets are on sale for this event; entrance is by invitation-only. There are just 500 invitees circulating among Dubai's most fashionable and chosen few B-Yond members. Invitations are in the form of a text message, which the guest will need to show at the door in order to gain entry.

Enclosed within the lush and tranquil secret setting, Dubai's most stylish and exclusive crowd will join Richens to lounge under the stars as the evening mellows and 'B' models strut down the catwalk in Praias swimwear. Perfecting the tropical atmosphere, the DJ for the night will play upbeat Latino and lounge music, with Peter Mac accompanying on the sax and Greg on the Bongos.
