To attend the amfAR gala, I decided to wear a red gown by Saint Laurent that featured a plunging neckline and a sharply-tailored silhouette.

To complete my look, my hairstylist Ross Kwan slicked back my hair updo while my makeup artist Tobi Henney created a striking smoky eye that was accentuated with a bright red lip.

Finishing Touches

Because I didn't want to distract from the gown's silhouette, I opted for sleek, statement-making jewelry from Chopard to offset the whole look. The statement earrings allowed for the grandeur of the look to shine through in an effortless way.

A highlight from the night was also being able to watch Christina Aguilera perform — I've loved her music for as long as I can remember.

Carine Roitfeld's show this year was incredible and it was a privilege to be able to attend, and show my support. Plus, it's always so much fun being able to sit with my Revolve/FWRD family.
