I fell in love with this Lever Couture look as soon as I saw it, and I knew it would be perfect for the amfAR gala.

I have been supporting amfAR since 2000, and one of my favorite memories from that year was flying to Cannes with Victoria’s Secret on the Concorde.

AmfAR does the most incredible work in the fight to end AIDS, and it is a privilege to support them each year.

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend!

A few weeks before traveling, Leni and I went to see Lorraine Schwartz in her New York City office and handpicked the earrings for my Cannes looks.

My beautiful hairstylist Jennifer Yepez is lending me a helping hand getting into my dress.

I always do fittings way in advance of events with my stylists, Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, to make sure my looks fit like a glove.

My final look is just how I envisioned it.

I love changing up silhouettes and surprising people with unconventional shapes and colors.

My full look is a Lever Couture gown with beautiful Lorraine Schwartz emerald earrings and Femme shoes.

I love the sheer nude trend we’ve been seeing so many rock on the red carpet.

Here is my take on it in Monique Lhuillier.
