Paris Hilton will DJ the gala's after-party.
Colman Domingo will emcee the fifth annual Caring for Women Dinner on Sept. 10 at The Pool in New York City. Paris Hilton will DJ at the after-party.
Domingo is an actor, writer, director and producer, earning two Academy Award nominations, as well as co-chairing the 2025 Met Gala, which raised funds for The Costume Institute.
Since sharing her experience in her documentary “This Is Paris” and in “Paris: The Memoir,” Hilton has become a significant advocate for survivors, pushing for protections against institutional abuse and exploitation.
Salma Hayek Pinault, François-Henri Pinault, Pamela Anderson, Simone Biles, Benicio Del Toro, Nacho Figueras, Dakota Johnson and Lorna Simpson will co-host.
“Salma and I created the Caring for Women Dinner to raise essential funds for organizations working to end gender-based violence and to mobilize a broader community around this critical mission at the heart of the Kering Foundation’s work,” Kering and Kering Foundation chairman François-Henri Pinault said. “As we mark its fifth edition, the dinner stands as a powerful reminder of what this community can achieve when it comes together with purpose.”
The event aims to bring together leaders in fashion, film, art, sports and philanthropy to raise money for organizations working to end gender-based violence. This year’s beneficiaries are Activating Change, Fondo Semillas, JBWS and The New York Women’s Foundation. Last year, the dinner raised over $4.5 million.
The evening will feature a special performance and a live auction of luxury items and experiences from Kering’s fashion houses, including Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, McQueen, Brioni, Boucheron, Pomellato and Ginori 1735. New this year, the fundraiser will continue after dinner with an online silent auction open to the public.
The foundation was created in 2008 and partners with nonprofits in six countries to end gender-based violence through survivor-centered services and prevention programs. It mobilizes its networks to take action, create awareness and raise funds to end violence against women and children.
