The second edition of the Winter Gala Event LuisaViaRoma for UNICEF was held at Emeraude St Barth.
The night featured a cocktail reception, a gala dinner, and a live auction of exclusive items, artwork, and experiences conducted by Simon De Pury.
International celebrities, philanthropists, and notable guests from all over the world attended the event.
The event boasted unforgettable highlights, including a special performance by writer, producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Lenny Kravitz, who has won four consecutive Grammy Awards, and Drake, a multi-award-winning performer who is the first artist in history to earn 100 top 20 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and the all-time record-breaker for most top 5 hits among all artists in Hot 100 history — surpassing the Beatles (30).
International celebrities, philanthropists, and notable guests from all over the world attended the night and helped raise more than 3 million Euros through the auction to support UNICEF’s work in providing care and protection to vulnerable children across the globe.
The event was hosted by Luisa Panconesi, President of LuisaViaRoma’s Comitato Evento, Paolo Rozera, Unicef Italia Executive Director and Tommaso Chiabra Event Fundraising Chairman UNICEF Italia, together with the generous support of the event's founding partner, the Red Sea International Film Festival.
The attendance of notable guests made the evening even more special, amongst them: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup, Luke Evans, Edward Enninful Obe, Rita Ora, Karolina Kurkova, Maxwell, Kygo, Liya Kebede, Kiernan Shipka, Taika Waititi, Remo Ruffini, Georgia Palmer, Chase Hudson, Nabilla Vergara, Jordan Barrett, Rachel Zoe, Amalie Gassmann, Sveva Alviti, Bob Sinclair e Frida Aasen.
The night continued with a live auction with a variety of art pieces and one-of-a-kind luxury s and experiences, many of which were introduced by the celebrities in the room. Highlights of the auction included a software-based artwork by Refik Anadol, AI Data Sculpture A, which is the largest neurotherapeutic AI data sculpture, and the first artwork ever produced using human brain data, as well as Steve McQueen’sown 1961 Formula junior race car, the Ares customized Land Rover Cabriolet and BMW Scrambler motorcycle with trailer, and a unique experience under the Northern lights of the Arctic with polar explorer Johan Ernst Nilson.
