AceShowbiz - Colman Domingo is set to emcee the Kering Foundation's fifth annual Caring For Women Dinner, taking place September 10 at The Pool in Manhattan, with Paris Hilton serving as DJ for the after-party.
The event, hosted by founding co-hosts Salma Hayek Pinault and François-Henri Pinault, will bring together leaders in fashion, film, art, sports, and philanthropy to raise funds for organizations working to end gender-based violence. Joining the host committee are Pamela Anderson, Simone Biles, Benicio Del Toro, Nacho Figueras, Dakota Johnson, and Lorna Simpson.
In 2025, the dinner raised over $4.5 million to combat gender-based violence and improve the lives of survivors. This year's proceeds will benefit Activating Change, Fondo Semillas, JBWS, and The New York Women's Foundation.
Domingo, an actor, writer, director, and producer, has earned two Academy Award nominations, as well as nominations for the BAFTA, Tony, Critics' Choice, and Independent Spirit Awards. In 2025, he co-chaired the Met Gala and was named one of TIME's 100 most influential people.
Hilton, a pop culture icon and CEO of 11:11 Media, has become a leading advocate for survivors since sharing her experience in the documentary This Is Paris and later in Paris: The Memoir. She has driven legislative reform and repeatedly taken her advocacy to Capitol Hill. Most recently, she was named to the 2026 Time100 AI list for her work championing consent, likeness rights, and protections against the harmful misuse of artificial intelligence.

The evening will feature a live auction led by Lydia Fenet, with one-of-a-kind items and experiences from Gucci, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Pomellato, and others.
For the first time, the fundraising will extend beyond the dinner through an online silent auction open to the public. Highlights include the signed "GOAT" leotard worn by Biles during her winning performance at the 2021 U.S. Classic, a limited-edition Gucci Giglio Top Handle Bag, a bespoke Brioni experience at the Festival de Cannes, an exclusive Saint Laurent journey to Paris, and a McQueen custom ensemble and AW27 experience marking the House's return to London Fashion Week.
The Kering Foundation, established in 2008, envisions a world free from violence for women and children. It supports local organizations providing comprehensive services to victims of violence, as well as prevention initiatives. Over nearly two decades, the foundation has supported one million women survivors and partnered with more than 130 nonprofit organizations across France, Italy, Korea, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
The dinner aims to build on last year's success, rallying the fashion and entertainment communities to take a stand against gender-based violence and support survivors worldwide.
