At the 14th annual Eid Banquet, held in Commons on October 6th, some of our fellow Yalies rocked some absolutely stunning formal wear! The event, organized by the Chaplain’s Office and the Yale Muslim Students Association, invited students to celebrate the Muslim holiday Eid Uhl-Adha together as well as their cultural pride. The night was grand, with Ustadh Ubaydullah Evans as the keynote speaker, wonderful food, and dazzling outfit ensembles. It was amazing to see students dressed, representing their culture and where they come from. Here are just a few of the stunning ladies who absolutely slayed at this year’s Eid Banquet!
