, which was attended by 700 glamorous supporters who all rallied in the name of AIDS research. The results were a million dollars raised, countless social media posts, and a hopeful spirit around a tragic pandemic.
Supermodels were in abundance, such as Iman, Heidi Klum, Coco Rocha, Cindy Bruna, Elsa Hosk, and Duckie Thot. Famous artists in attendance included Julian Schnabel, Leo Villareal, and Ellen von Unwerth . The room was awash in royal blue lighting and white tulips. Many models and social media influencers dressed in floor-length gowns, many of which were sheer or with voluminous trains. Immersive photo experiences, perfect for sharing across social media , had the celebrities lining up.
“We’re trying to amplify the message around the AIDS epidemic and remind people that it’s not over. In many parts of the world, it’s still a terrible problem. Our work is ultimately about bringing a cure, and tonight helps to amplify that message. Almost everything raised tonight will go towards cure research. We have scientists around the world focused on the most exciting areas of biomedical research, everything from gene therapy to CAR T cells.”.
The gala was bookended by energetic musical acts. Sofi Tukker kicked off the night by sending a shock through the crowd with an electrifying performance of their new song “Purple Hat.” Charlie Puth later closed out the night, dressed in a powder blue tuxedo that he comically removed throughout the performance while demonstrating his stellar vocals.
Following Puth’s performance, the crowd migrated to the Up & Down nightclub for an after-party. The evening was an ongoing party with a vital imperative: The fight against AIDS is not over, but with the help of amfAR, the cure is closer than ever.
