Every year, the amfAR Gala draws Cannes' most prominent stars, and the 2024 edition was no exception. On Thursday, May 23rd, stars gathered for the highlight event of the Cannes Film Festival: the amfAR Gala. Held between screenings of notable films such as Gilles Lellouche's “Beating Hearts” and Alexandre de La Patellière and Matthieu Delaporte's “The Count of Monte Cristo”, the gala served as a philanthropic endeavor aimed at supporting AIDS prevention and research.
For this special occasion, celebrities donned their most elegant dresses, complemented by exquisite high jewelry creations. Below, we take a look at all the standout outfits from this year's amfAR Gala.
The Standout Looks at the amfAR Gala
A host of stars who had been spotted on the Cannes steps in recent days made appearances on the red carpet. Notable figures included actress Diane Kruger, and models Natasha Poly and Isabeli Fontana. Also in attendance were stars who came specifically for the event, like Winnie Harlow, Alton Mason, Cher, and Heidi Klum.
Among the evening's standout outfits, Elsa Hosk shone in a white Nina Ricci dress from the Spring/Summer 2024 collection, adorned with black feathers and matching opera gloves. Demi Moore captivated onlookers in her pristine, custom-made Loewe dress, embodying timeless elegance and modern sophistication.
The setting of the gala also contributed to the magical atmosphere. Inspired by iconic cinemas such as the Fox Theatre in Arizona, The Electric Cinema in London, and the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, the event venue brought old Hollywood charm with a modern flair. Mixing latex with leopard print and set in an opulent red—the first color you lose sight of in low light conditions—the venue transported guests into the art of storytelling, creating an immersive experience that celebrated 30 years of amfAR through vintage film creation and mapping.
As the stars dazzled in their glamorous ensembles, the amfAR Gala once again proved to be a night of both style and substance, raising awareness and funds for a crucial cause.
