Ashley Graham turns heads in an enormous wide-brimmed hat and flares at the amfAR Cannes Gala

Ashley Graham turned heads in a massive wide-brimmed hat and flared pants at the annual amfAR gala at the 76th Cannes Film Festival on Thursday.

The model, 35, stood out from the crowd in a white linen Nina Ricci FW23 RTW suit, which she offset with black accessories.

Ashley’s standout fashion item of the evening was a huge hat with a huge circumference.

She complemented the eye-catching accessory with a spotty net scarf tied in a bow, while adding thick black eyeliner to highlight her gorgeous features.

The jacket hugged Ashley’s waist, emphasizing her gorgeous figure, and she swept aside her wavy brunette locks to give the outfit a relaxed and hippie feel.

Finally, a pair of drop-down silver earrings was the only piece of jewelry in the very chic ensemble.

On Thursday, the star-studded amfAR Gala Cannes took place at the legendary Hotel Du Cap Eden Roc Cap D’Antibes.

Queen Latifah hosted what is the most popular party at the annual Cannes Film Festival, which raises millions of dollars for AIDS and HIV research and awareness.

Guests enjoyed musical performances from Halsey, Adam Lambert, Bebe Rexha and Gladys Knight, while sipping Clase Azul Gold and Reposado tequila from Mexico’s first luxury spirit brand.

Clase Azul is Mexico’s premier luxury spirits brand and makers of Clase Azul Reposado that celebrity guests will enjoy at the party.

It retails from £220 and can be purchased in Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Harrods, as well as the world’s best bars, restaurants and members’ clubs.

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

amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, is one of the world’s leading non-profit organizations dedicated to supporting AIDS research, HIV prevention, treatment education, and advocacy.

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

It was the world’s first private organization dedicated to raising funds to support scientific and medical research on AIDS. In 1984 the first research grants were awarded.

In September 1985, amfAR was formed through AMF’s association with the like-minded National AIDS Research Foundation, which had been established in August 1985 in California.

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

amfAR Gala Cannes has raised more than $245 million in total for amfAR’s life-saving AIDS research.

This extraordinary success has enabled the Foundation to make crucial research investments to bring a cure for HIV within reach.

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

And amfAR has fueled a scientific community that, once highly skeptical, has largely embraced the idea that a cure is not only possible, but achievable in our lifetime.

Today amfAR supports a range of healing strategies. For example, a new grant initiative called ARCHE-GT supports teams of researchers exploring gene therapy approaches for healing.

Importantly, the researchers are tasked with developing an intervention that can be administered by injection, increasing the likelihood that, if effective, it can be administered without complicated laboratory procedures.

Since the start of the pandemic, approximately 84.2 million people have contracted HIV and more than 40 million people have died from AIDS-related illnesses.
