Winnie Harlow attends amfAR Cannes Gala in stunning white dress

On Thursday, the annual amfAR Gala Cannes was held at the legendary Hotel du Cap Eden Roque Cap d’Antibes in France.

And Winnie Harlow glimpsed a long pin in a stunning white dress on the blue carpet at the star-studded event.

The America’s Next Top Model star, 28, exudes confidence in a dress that boasts a bold side split and elegant train.

One side features a large shoulder ruffle, while the other side has a simple off-the-shoulder detail for a dramatic twist.

Winnie wore white pointed heels and accessorized with a statement gold necklace and matching earrings.

Queen Latifah hosted the hottest party at the annual Cannes Film Festival, raising millions of dollars for AIDS and HIV research and awareness.

Guests enjoyed musical performances by Halsey, Adam Lambert, Bebe Rexha and Gladys Knight while sipping Mexico’s first premium spirits brand, Classe Azul Gold and Reposado Tequila.

Clase Azul is Mexico’s first premium spirits brand and the creator of Clase Azul Reposado, a party drink for celebrity guests.

Retail prices start at £220 and are available at Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Harrods and some of the world’s finest bars, restaurants and exclusive clubs.

The swanky amfAR gala also included a fashion show curated by Carine Roitfeld and a fundraising auction by Simon de Pury.

The auction included Cecily Brown’s latest creation, created especially for amfAR, and Leonardo DiCaprio’s 2016 Damien Hirst signed artwork.

Co-chairs of the amfAR Gala Cannes include Angela Bassett, Kate Beckinsale, Robert De Niro, Ethan Hawke, Scarlett Johansson, Milla Jovovich, Eva Longoria and Heidi Klum.

amfAR (Foundation for AIDS Research) is the world’s leading non-profit organization dedicated to supporting AIDS research, HIV prevention, treatment education and advocacy.

In April 1983, Dr. Mathilde Krim and Dr. Joseph Sonnabend, along with Michael Cullen and several others from New York City, founded the AIDS Medical Foundation (AMF).

It was the world’s first private organization dedicated to fundraising to support scientific and medical research on AIDS. The first research grant he was awarded in 1984.

In September 1985, amfAR was formed through the merger of AMF and the like-minded National AIDS Research Foundation, which was incorporated in California in August 1985.

Since then, amfAR has invested nearly $617 million in its programs and awarded over 3,500 grants to research teams around the world.

amfAR Gala Cannes has raised over $245 million cumulatively for amfAR’s life-saving AIDS research.

This extraordinary success has enabled the Foundation to make significant research investments to bring about a cure for HIV.

amfAR’s research investments have contributed to the development of antiretroviral medicines that are keeping millions of people alive and have helped eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV in many parts of the world.

And amfAR galvanized a once skeptical scientific community into broad acceptance that a cure is not only possible, but achievable in our lifetimes.

amfAR currently supports a variety of therapeutically focused strategies. For example, a new funding initiative called ARCHE-GT is supporting a team of researchers investigating gene therapy approaches to therapeutics.

Importantly, researchers are responsible for developing interventions that can be delivered by injection, and if effective, interventions are more likely to occur without the need for complex laboratory testing procedures.

About 84.2 million people have become infected with HIV since the pandemic began, and more than 40 million have died from AIDS-related illnesses.
