Between the runway shows, parties, and presentations of New York Fashion Week came another sort of style parade—one for A-list stars instead of models. On Monday night, the Kering Foundation hosted its third annual Caring for Women dinner at The Pool in midtown Manhattan. Co-chaired in part by Salma Hayek, François-Henri Pinault, Kim Kardashian, Donatella Versace, and Naomi Watts, the event was held to benefit three different charities working to end violence against women and girls. Gayle King was the master of ceremonies, leading guests through an evening that included food catered by The Grill, a performance by British musician Raye, and an auction that raised nearly $3 million for Girl Effect, It’s On Us, and the National Network to End Domestic Violence.
Kering’s involvement in the event meant that, not only were pieces from Alexander McQueen, Saint Laurent, and other Kering brands up for auction, but standout looks were also on view via the red carpet. Below, see all the incredible fashion from the night, from Watts’s Balenciaga ballgown to Jessica Chastain’s mermaid-esque, paillette-covered confection.
