Paris Hilton, Colman Domingo Join $4.5M Gala

The Kering Foundation's Caring for Women Gala has added two new names to its star-studded lineup: Paris Hilton and Colman Domingo. The event, set to take place on September 10 in New York at The Pool, aims to raise funds to end gender-based violence and support survivors.

Colman Domingo will serve as emcee for the gala, while Paris Hilton will DJ at the afterparty. They will be joined by founding co-hosts Salma Hayek Pinault and François-Henri Pinault, as well as other co-hosts including Pamela Anderson, Simone Biles, Benicio Del Toro, Nacho Figueras, Dakota Johnson, and Lorna Simpson.

The gala has a track record of success, having raised over $4.5 million in 2025 to help end gender-based violence and improve the lives of survivors. This year's event will feature a live auction led by Lydia Fenet, with luxury items and experiences from Kering's fashion houses, including Gucci, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, and Pomellato.

The event will also feature a special performance and an online silent auction open to the public. The proceeds from the gala will benefit organizations working to end gender-based violence, including Activating Change, Fondo Semillas, JBWS, and The New York Women’s Foundation.

## Why it matters The Kering Foundation was created in 2008 and partners with nonprofits in six countries to end gender-based violence through survivor-centered services and prevention programs. The Caring for Women Gala is an important expression of this commitment, bringing together leaders in fashion, film, art, sports, and philanthropy to raise money for organizations working to end gender-based violence. As the event marks its fifth edition, it stands as a powerful reminder of what this community can achieve when it comes together with purpose.

## What happens next The Kering Foundation's Caring for Women Gala will take place on September 10 in New York, with the live auction and special performance set to be highlights of the evening. With the support of its star-studded lineup and the generosity of its attendees, the event aims to raise significant funds to support organizations working to end gender-based violence and improve the lives of survivors.
