Star-Studded Fundraiser Meets Fashion Week Flair

Last night in New York City, the Kering Foundation hosted its fifth annual Caring for Women dinner during the bustle of New York Fashion Week. Co-hosted by founders and spouses Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault, the charity evening raises funds to end gender-based violence and has become one of September’s most glamorous and cause-driven gatherings.

The dinner is known for drawing a constellation of celebrities and for letting attendees get a little adventurous with their outfits—this year was no exception. Among the memorable looks, Pamela Anderson’s black, statement-making gown stole the spotlight.

Pamela’s Show-Stopping Gucci Moment

The Dress and the Drama

Anderson, who often styles herself, chose a sleek design from Gucci by Demna. The high-neck piece used a semi-sheer, jersey-like fabric that skimmed her frame while offering strategic coverage. A daring cutout around the back and a thigh-high slit revealed one leg, delivering that signature Pamela blend of old Hollywood and unabashed sex appeal.

"Pamela has always been her own inspiration – she proves it every time she steps onto the carpet."

The look was both elegant and intentionally bold—classic glamour with a wink. If anyone can bring vintage bombshell energy into a modern, fashion-week backdrop, it’s Anderson.

Details That Pulled the Look Together

Shoes, Clutch, and Vintage Vibes

She paired the long-sleeve maxi with ultra-pointy black patent-leather pumps, adding a slinky, polished edge to the overall silhouette. Her accessories included a tiny bedazzled clutch sprinkled with onyx-colored gemstones that caught flashbulbs and added a luxe finishing touch.

Anderson’s bleach-blonde hair was styled in bouncy, voluminous waves—an homage to icons like Marilyn Monroe and to her own ’90s-era self. The hair and makeup choices amplified the old-school Hollywood aura while keeping the look distinctly her.

Why This Moment Clicked

Fresh off a bright orange statement look at the amfAR Gala Venezia days earlier, Anderson proved she’s not afraid to switch tones and moods on the red carpet. The all-black ensemble felt timeless yet modern—perfect for a night that mixed fashion, philanthropy, and a little bit of daring.

With Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault fronting the event and a room full of high-profile guests, the Caring for Women dinner remains a top September fundraiser—one that successfully marries glamour with a powerful mission.
