AceShowbiz - Kelly Rowland and Rumer Willis made stunning appearances at the annual amfAR gala in Venice, Italy, on Sunday, September 1. The former Destiny's Child singer turned heads in a breathtaking white Cheney Chan gown.

The strapless dress featured intricate pleats and a "FengYaQi" silhouette, inspired by traditional Chinese culture. Rowland accessorized with white pumps, Chopard diamonds and a sapphire and diamond brooch at the waist. Her platinum blonde bob with dark roots and natural makeup added a touch of contrast.

Willis channeled old-school Hollywood glamour in a chocolate satin and chiffon gown. The plunging neckline and draping accentuated her figure, while a flowing wrap created a train-like effect. She paired the look with straight blond hair, a smoky eye and neutral pink lips.

The amfAR gala is a prestigious charity event that raises funds for AIDS research and HIV prevention, treatment education, and advocacy. This year's gala, hosted by Kate Beckinsale, included performances by Rowland and Willis. Antonio Banderas received the Global Impact Award, and Richard Gere was presented with the Award of Inspiration.

Rowland has been a longtime supporter of amfAR and received the organization's Award of Courage in 2022 for her vocal advocacy for HIV treatment and prevention. She has traveled to Africa to highlight the inequities in access to care.

Since its founding in 1985, amfAR has invested over $635 million in programs and awarded over 3,800 grants to research teams worldwide. The organization has played a crucial role in advancing HIV/AIDS research and bringing attention to the fight against this devastating disease.
