Madonna is never late to the party, everyone else is simply early
“It feels good to be doing normal things,” Mila Jovovich told partygoers as they took their seats on Thursday night at the annual amfAR Los Angeles gala. Though the evening, which unfolded at the Pacific Design Center in a typically grand fashion synonymous with the charity dedicated to fighting HIV/AIDs, was anything but normal.
Ambrosio included, it was clear that all of the evening’s supporters took their fashion cues seriously, largely thanks to this year’s honoree, Jeremy Scott. The designer himself could be found surrounded by his merry band of friends and collaborators like Anitta, Gigi Goode, Violet Cachki, and Diplo; all bedecked in his campy confections produced for both Moschino and his eponymous brand.
A full slate of entertainment followed. Auctioneer extraordinaire Simon de Pury rallied the room to sell off artworks by Robert Mapplethorpe, Ellen von Unwerth, and Wes Lang, along with a Chakra yacht, raising the evening’s total fundraising to a whopping $1.7 million. The creators of TikTok also took home an award for their community engagement, presented by Addison Rae. Then OneRepublic and Bebe Rexha, backed by a string quartet, brought the house down with a duo of stripped-down performances.
As the evening began to wind down around 11 PM, there remained one question: When would Jeremy Scott be accepting his award? Just then, a roar erupted as Madonna was welcomed to the stage. “I’d like to say they saved the best for last, but I’m just really f-ing late,” she said, though she could clearly do no wrong in the eyes of this crowd, many of whom stood atop their chairs, craning their neck for a closer look at the legendary multi-hyphenate.
