Gold becomes a theme at glitzy Cannes amfAR gala

There's always glitz and glamour at Cannes, France, during its annual film festival, and it's no different this year. But there's still a heavy infusion of gold to come this week at Thursday's amfAR gala, which will treat its celebrity guests to 40 of the world's top models in "The Ultimate Gold Collection Fashion Show," curated by Carine Roitfeld.
It's the 20th edition of the gala, which raises money for AIDS research, and the "ultimate" show builds on a smaller one that launched last year. This time, Karlie Kloss, Karolina Kurkova, Angela Lindvall and Alessandra Ambrosio will be dripping in gold jewelry and wearing gleaming gowns by Giorgio Armani, Alexander Wang, Marchesa and Louis Vuitton, among others.
"It was really hard to choose a dress for this," said Eva Cavalli, who is donating a mermaid, sequin-covered gown from the Roberto Cavalli archive that Kurkova will wear to open the show.
"Gold for Cavalli is THE color: the color of sun, positivity, warmth, joy," said Cavalli, Roberto's wife and design partner. "But it was hard to choose for this. I also thought of gold leather, but I was thinking that I wanted to give something really special, and this is one of the most beautiful pieces we ever did."
Charity catwalks such as this add a little sense of competition among designers, she said, but "only because everyone wants to do more, give more and be involved more, but in a friendly way."
She bought a Valentino red gown at another amfAR event. "I've never worn it, but it looks good and maybe I will wear it someday."
Years ago, fashion wasn't a big part of the event — or even the film festival, Roitfeld said, but there were so many beautiful dresses and so many beautiful faces that it was ripe to make a big, bold style statement. "It's so glamorous and generous at amfAR. Why not?"
Roitfeld, who usually has a uniform of black or khaki, said she'll wear gold, "which is a big deal for me."
She'll be mingling with Sharon Stone, Heidi Klum, Jessica Chastain and Harvey Weinstein, among others, and scheduled performers include Duran Duran, Shirley Bassey, Ellie Goulding and Hot Chelle Rae. The event will stream live at the Lovegold.com website.
"We had to make it more fun than other fashion shows. It's not all journalists and the people who go to fashion shows at Cannes. We have to entertain. ... It's more like a Victoria's Secret show, where they create the dream of women to have wings on their back. We're doing the same thing with our girls," Roitfeld said. "We're not there to sell the dress. The models are there more to flirt with the audience."
She added: "Charity is always a good excuse to mix people with models."

I love that Balmain on her, she has the legs for it, I would just change the gaudy black boots, even some brown ones in the same style would have worked, though a stiletto would have been preferred.

I'm excited about this! I was wondering who would open with 40 well known models on the roster, glad Karolina is doing it in Cavalli, I think I have an idea which gown it will be, let me go back to look at the Cavalli archives.

i don't understand why KK isn't attending all the premieres! she's IN cannes. she's been chilling on Cavalli's yacht all week and yet wasn't even at his party last night! i think she must be shooting something, doing some work while she's there. it's the only explanation i can think of! or maybe she got sick. lol.
anyway - very excited to see her open the show tonight!

she looks unbelievable in that black dress. just. so. hot.
i NEED to find footage of KK opening the show at the amfAR Gala. NEED. TO. SEE.
it's quite an honour for her to get to open the show, especially considering there were so many other big models there, as well.

OK.
i found the footage of the entire show.
there's the whole red carpet thing at the beginning. lots of interviews and such. KK isn't interviewed, but she is on the red carpet in the background while the woman interviews Roberto Cavalli and she mentions how KK is opening the show in that dress.
then the show itself starts at around the 33:00 mark. KK opens. lots of attitude and fierceness and looks impossibly stunning. there are TONS of models in the show, from Rosie Huntington Whitely, to Isabali, Alessandra, Irina, Lily Donaldson, Toni Garrn, Joan Smalls, Karlie Kloss, etc etc etc. it goes on and on. 40 of them. lol.

Yas! I'm glad she opened with that dress, that was the one I had in mind though I do prefer it as a halter gown without the sleeves on Naomi, she wore it a while ago during Cannes.
