Colman Domingo Says “Men Should Be Locking Arms to Make Sure Women Have What They Need” at Kering’s Caring for Women Dinner
Actor Colman Domingo hosted the fifth annual Caring for Women Dinner in New York, a fundraiser organised by the Kering Foundation, where he called on men to actively support women's rights rather than remain passive observers. The black-tie event, held at The Pool, brought together celebrities including co-hosts Salma Hayek Pinault, François-Henri Pinault, Simone Biles, Dakota Johnson, Pamela Anderson and Benicio del Toro, many wearing outfits from Kering-owned fashion houses such as Gucci, Balenciaga and Bottega Veneta.
The evening raised more than $5 million (roughly £4 million) for four organisations tackling violence against women and children: Activating Change, Fondo Semillas, JBWS and The New York Women's Foundation. Funds came from ticket sales and a live auction featuring items from Kering brands, with an online auction launching on 14 September for the first time, offering items including a Boucheron brooch and a signed leotard from Olympic gymnast Simone Biles.
