About last night: A band of fabulous faces came together for the Golf For Good Charity Gala, organised by four-time Olympic medallist Evgeni Plushenko and Antoine Arnault the chairman of Loro Piana and Partner of the European Ryder Cup Team 2018. The Gala was the culmination of a two-day charity initiative in aid of Natalia Vodianova’s charity Naked Heart France, which provides invaluable support to the families of children with mental, physical and sensory disabilities.
Everyone who is anyone in fashion made their way to the chic Le Boeuf sur le Toit, a stone’s throw from the Champs-Elysées in Paris for an intimate dinner and to show their support for the cause, including Bella Hadid, Cindy Bruna, Olivia Palermo, Caroline Roitfeld and Ten contributor Derek Blasberg. And Carla Bruni performed! In an auction directed by top Sotheby’s auctioneer Oliver Barker, guests bid on an array of golf-inspired money can’t-buy-items (however in this case they could). Lots included a piece of jewellery from Chopard, a one-off Loro Piana uniform designed especially for the Ryder cup and a Mini personalised by fashion photographer Matieu Cesar. Together the gala and the exclusive golf tournament at Golf de Joyenval, held earlier in the week and also presented by Place Vendome Qatar, raised €203,100 all for the foundation. That sounds like a hole in one kind of success to us!
