The 7s kicked off with a bang.

Thousands of fans are turning up in fancy dress at one of the biggest sporting and social events in the UAE as the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series gets underway.

Now in its 47th year, the Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens is known as one of the biggest fancy dress parties on the circuit with fans dressing up as Mario Brothers, unicorns and jockeys this weekend.

It brings a great deal of colour to the weekend’s festivities and here we pick out some of the best examples of fancy dress on display.

Over 20,000 fans visited the Rugby Sevens on ‘Terrific Thursday’ and the numbers will continue to rocket as party-goers and rugby fans make the most of the long weekend and enjoying the entertainment.

Elsewhere, the Tina Turner act and the DHL Diva Dancers as well as an array of activities provided by sponsors in the popular rugby village.
