Roberto Cavalli proudly reaffirmed its commitment as a Signature Sponsor of the amfAR Las Vegas benefit gala, returning this year to the vibrant setting of Wynn Las Vegas during the iconic Grand Prix race weekend. The event once again united influential philanthropists, cultural leaders and fashion enthusiasts in support of amfAR’s pioneering AIDS research programs. For the occasion, Creative Director Fausto Puglisi attended the gala alongside the brand’s friends and distinguished guests.
Demonstrating its ongoing dedication to amfAR’s mission, Roberto Cavalli donated an exceptional couture creation to the evening’s live auction. This year’s featured gown, “Divina Africa”, was a one-of-a-kind masterpiece from the Roberto Cavalli Couture Atelier. Inspired by the landscapes and chromatic richness of Africa, the gown embodied the Maison’s signature fusion of bold creativity, artisanal craftsmanship and nature-infused elegance, and was showcased alongside an exclusive preview of the Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2026 Couture Collection.
Handmade in Italy, “Divina Africa” was crafted in a fitted column silhouette with an internal corset, accentuated by a deep centre-front neckline and a bare back. The gown tied gracefully around the neck with braided and embroidered lanyards. Its intricate embroidery, composed of crystals and micro-materials, traced organic motifs across the silhouette, creating a captivating play of transparency, light and shadow. A true work of Haute Couture, the gown reflected the daring sophistication emblematic of Roberto Cavalli Couture.
In addition to the “Divina Africa” gown, the live auction also included an extraordinary Milan Fashion Week journey curated by Roberto Cavalli. The winning bidder, accompanied by a guest, gained access to the Roberto Cavalli Women’s Fall/Winter 2026–2027 Fashion Show in February 2026, enjoyed exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences and received a selection of luxury hospitality and personalized brand touchpoints throughout their stay.
As a global fashion house with longstanding ties to the United States, Roberto Cavalli was honoured to continue supporting amfAR in Las Vegas, a city that reflects the Maison’s spirit of bold expression, cultural vibrancy and celebration of artistry. This partnership underscored Roberto Cavalli’s commitment to creative excellence, community engagement and meaningful contributions to initiatives that inspire hope and progress.
