This time, the black carpet replaced the traditional red carpet, and elegance was the prevailing theme. The amfAR gala is one of the most prominent events held this week, a charity gala that no one wanted to miss. We'll review the looks from this gala, starting with one of the most inspiring "it girls," the great Diane Kruger.
The actress once again captivated everyone with her style at the amfAR charity gala in Los Angeles, which aimed to raise funds for the fight against AIDS. Kruger played it safe with an ethereal, dusty rose dress with straps from Carolina Herrera's Spring/Summer 2016 collection. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley sported one of the best looks of the gala: a simple yet elegant black dress with pockets. Understated, immaculate, with a touch of sexiness and perfect makeup, she didn't need much more to be the most beautiful woman at the party.
Sarah Hyland , from the series 'Modern Family', wore a sophisticated, jewel-encrusted, powder-pink dress by Jenny Packham, which she paired with a striking dark makeup look. The delicate dress contrasted with the boldness of her burgundy manicure and lips, a winning combination for one of the most stylish young actresses.
Gwyneth Paltrow wore a stunning pearl gray dress with shimmering details by Ralph & Russo. The actress, who hosted the gala, opted for minimal accessories (just earrings and rings) and chose natural makeup, leaving her hair loose. While nothing about her look seemed out of place at first glance, the overall combination didn't quite work for us.
The sexiest woman at the amfAR gala was Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio , one of the guests at this event hosted by the American Foundation for AIDS Research. The supermodel looked stunning in a sheer black Zuhair Murad gown with star motifs.
Emma Roberts was another guest at The Inspiration Gala, which this year paid tribute to film and television producer Ryan Murphy. Roberts, star of his series 'Scream Queens', wanted to support her boss by attending the event, but her look didn't quite hit the mark. We can't fault the Alexander McQueen floral print dress (perfect for an autumn event), but the combination with the strappy sandals and feathered bag is completely unflattering on the actress.
Sarah Paulson , another of Ryan Murphy's muses, didn't miss the party in his honor. The 'American Horror Story' actress embraced the current trend, 'Balmain-mania,' with an all-black look consisting of a blazer, long skirt, and mini top. Gold accessories further emphasized this homage to Oliver Rousteing's fashion.
Jamie King went for the 'femme fatale' style, taking it to the extreme: a tricolor dress with a leg slit and a plunging neckline down to the navel, paired with red manicures and hair with defined waves.
Chloé Sevigny is not one to go unnoticed. The actress has her own style, a personal signature that permeates each of her looks and sets her apart from everyone else. At the amfAR gala, she surprised everyone with a sheer dress with pink polka dots, a daring design that she paired with red lips and her signature tousled hair. Ruffles, prints, sheer fabrics… all in one look. Who else but her would dare to pull off such a bold combination?
The world's most famous blogger, Chiara Ferragni , is known for her striking mixes of prints, colors, and textures. She also took a risk at the amfAR gala, combining a three-color jewel-encrusted Miu Miu dress with glittery shoes, a leopard-print clutch, and a pearl headband. Minimalism is not her style.
Dylan Penn , the adorable daughter of Sean Penn and Robin Wright, promises to give us some great red carpet moments. At the amfAR gala, she was one of the few who skipped the long gown, opting instead for a fresher, more youthful look: a grass-green dress by Dsquared2 paired with black sandals.
Lea Michele , true to her style, wore a red gown with a train and an original neckline by Zac Posen. The 'Glee' actress also didn't want to miss her producer's big night and wanted to support the fight against AIDS.
Zendaya , who never goes unnoticed on the red carpets, dared to defy the 'dress code' with a masculine look consisting of a jacket, black shorts and a white shirt, which she combined with jeweled sandals.
Being so close to Halloween has influenced celebrity looks these days. One of those who has felt its influence is Sharon Stone , who attended the amfAR gala in a look that was somewhere between masculine and gothic. The actress, aware that pantsuits suit her beautifully, enhanced this style by adding a sheer blouse with lace details and an oversized crucifix to her ensemble.
Model Lydia Hearst also embraced the Halloween spirit with a truly inspiring look. A black and blue sequined dress with fringe and dark makeup created the perfect style for the spookiest night of the year.
