The annual amfAR Gala held during Cannes Film Festival this year marked a new chapter by celebrating the women who have supported the event throughout its entire 25-year history. Chopard’s Caroline Scheufele was an honorary chair at this year’s event alongside 24 other women from across the fashion and film industries such as Klum, Sienna Miller, Donatella Versace, Angela Missoni, Silvia Fendi, Poppy Delevingne, Alessandra Ambrosio, Katy Perry and Karolína Kurková.

This was the first time amfAR appointed a group of all-female chairs, which coincides with the stepping down of Kenneth Cole as chairman after growing pressure for him to do so. The event began with a cocktail at the hotel’s idyllic gardens where models, designers, actors and guests mingled and made the most of the photogenic backdrop.
