On the Scene: The 7th Annual amfAR Inspiration Gala featuring Naomi Campbell in Azzedine Alaïa, Gabrielle Union in Prada, Maya Jones in Zac Posen And More!

Last night, the 7th Annual amfAR Inspiration Gala was held in New York City and, per usual, the stars slayed left and right in their best designer duds. The guest list was also pretty impressive – with a slew of tastemakers, influencers, models, tv personalities and (of course) some of fashion’s finest, it was certainly a night to remember.

Let’s take a quick look at what they wore!

amfAR-Inspiration-Gala-2016-Naomi-Campbell-1

Queen Naomi Campbell graced the red carpet while donning a black Azzedine Alaïa gown that features sheer panels and a sleek silhouette. Yes!

Fashionista Karrueche Tran was also on hand in a vintage Gucci draped dress and Versace Medusa ankle wrap sandals.

amfAR-Inspiration-Gala-2016-Mari-Agory-1

Sudanese beauty/model Mari Agory served up eclectic vibes in a magenta and gold print number. She’s my new fave! How gorgeous is her skin?!

amfAR-Inspiration-Gala-2016-Gabrielle-Union-Dwyane-Wade-1

Power couple Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union looked impeccable as well! While the stylish basketball star rocked a tailored statement blazer, Gabby went incredibly chic in a two-toned halterneck gown by Prada.

amfAR-Inspiration-Gala-2016-Selita-Ebanks-1

Model Selita Ebanks slipped into a delicate white ruffled Francesco Scognamiglio gown and hard-to-miss-earrings. Go girl!

amfAR-Inspiration-Gala-2016-Hawa-Diawara-1

As ya’ll known, I’m a sucker for anything involving loads of color, sequins and a flawless fit. So, Hawa Diawara slayed my entire life when I spotted her on the red carpet! The Malian stunner was a total vision in a royal blue showstopper that featured a geometric  front cut out and structured shoulders. Werk!

amfAR-Inspiration-Gala-2016-Maya-Jones-1

Our next style maven chose to shine bright for the occasion! The lovely Maya Jones was a breath of fresh air as she flaunted a glorious Zac Posen strapless cocktail dress and shimmery silver sandals.

amfAR-Inspiration-Gala-2016-Alek-Wek-1

Alek Wek was all smiles while flashing a little leg in a multicolored, floor-grazing pick.

amfAR-Inspiration-Gala-2016-Jason-DeRul-1

And, Jason DeRulo rocked his cornrowed man bun.

Who are ya’ll feelin’?
