The Pool restaurant in Midtown Manhattan was filled with a crowd of yacht-goers on Tuesday night for the second annual Caring for Women Dinner hosted by the Kering Foundation.
Oprah Winfrey, a co-chair for the event, expressed her reason for participating, saying, “I said yes because Salma asked.” She was referring to Salma Hayek Pinault, who is also a co-chair and board member of the Kering Foundation.
Tropical plants and famous names filled the space to capacity.
Ms. Winfrey stated, “I don’t get out much. I only come out with the intention of using my voice in a way that can be meaningful and helpful.”
Inside the dining room, notable figures such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Olivia Wilde, Prabal Gurung, Malala Yousafzai, Zoë Kravitz, and Channing Tatum enjoyed a dinner of scallop aguachile and lamb belly.
François-Henri Pinault, husband of Salma Hayek Pinault and chairman of Kering, also attended the dinner alongside Kim Kardashian, Lindsey Vonn, and Lauren Sánchez, who is engaged to Jeff Bezos.
The gala dinner, which included an auction and a performance from Florence Welch of Florence and The Machine, raised over $3 million for the National Network to End Domestic Violence, the Malala Fund, and the New York City Alliance Against Sexual Violence.
Lisa Ling, a host for the event, emphasized the foundation’s work as the reason for her presence, stating, “Well, look, it’s always fun to feel beautiful and glamorous. But really the reason I’m here, and the reason I am honored to be here, is because of the work that this foundation is doing.”
What is the trick to getting dressed for a gala?
“I always believe in getting dressed for how you feel your best. And never worry about being overdressed or underdressed.”
