amfAR threw their annual fundraising gala to kick off New York Fashion Week. Head inside to see the red carpet flicks of Taraji P. Henson, LaLa Anthony, Queen Latifah, Lee Daniels and more inside…
It’s that time of year again where NYC is dripping with celebs, runway shows, parties and events.
Kicking off NYFW, amfAR hosted its annual gala at Cipriani Wall Street in NYC last night (February 7th). The annual soiree honors and recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Taraji P. Henson, who was tapped to host, was a total showstopper when she hit the red carpet. The Proud Mary star flossed her curves in a sequin David Koma gown that featured a plunging neckline. The mermaid style gown was the perfect balance of sexy and classy.
By the way, Proud Mary is still in theaters, so go see it if you haven't yet.
We’re still in the dead of winter, but LaLa Anthony is serving up springtime vibes. The “Power” star posed it up in a lavender Naeem Khan dress. Are we feeling it?
While on the carpet, the YBF actress gushed to ET about Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner’s baby, Stormi.
"The picture was absolutely gorgeous!" she shared. "The baby's name is absolutely amazing and I'm so happy for all of them. It's just an amazing time for the family, I'm happy for all of them."
Y'all know she's one of the family's besties...for whatever reason.
"Empire" & "Star" creator Lee Daniels was the man of the hour as he was honored for his contributions in the fight against HIV/AIDS. "Star" actress Queen Latifah was right by his side on the carpet to show some love.
"Empire" actress/singer Serayah made she sure she was in the mix to support Lee. She rocked a custom blue sequin Michael Kors gown.
