Roaring Good Time

At the Asia Society’s annual Tiger Ball, a multipart evening began with a cocktail hour in the Taj Mahal-themed Chevron Gala Pavilion, which covered Southmore Boulevard between Caroline and Austin. After a few glasses of bubbly, guests headed inside, where dinner tables were scattered throughout the stunning, Yoshio Taniguchi-designed building. After dinner, festivities resumed in the outdoor pavilion, where a Polynesian dance ensemble entertained during dessert.
