Ugandan socialite and businesswoman Zari Hassan marked her 46th birthday with an exclusive celebration at the newly unveiled Kampala Marriott Hotel in Nsambya, Kampala.

The luxury hotel, which opened just weeks earlier in late August 2026, provided the setting for the invitation-only celebration, with chandeliers, champagne displays and an upscale atmosphere adding to the event’s glamorous feel.

Zari invited close friends and members of her inner circle to the all-black-and-white themed party. Guests were expected to follow a strict formal dress code, with black, white or a combination of the two required for the occasion.
However, not everyone appeared to have followed the dress code.

In a video from the party that has since circulated online, Zari is seen addressing the room and instructing her security team to remove guests who had turned up dressed casually in jeans and T-shirts.​

“Jeans and T-shirts? Sorry, you are not my type. Security, please do your job. Thank you very much,” she said.​

Zari herself adhered to the theme, arriving in a striking white gown as she celebrated alongside her husband, Shakib, and selected guests.

The incident has drawn attention online, with the video highlighting Zari’s insistence that guests at her exclusive events adhere to the specified dress code.​
