Guests will enjoy inspiring performances, decadent fashions, specialty Belvedere cocktails and a spectacular gallery curated by Tommy Rom.
All gallery pieces will be part of the silent auction with proceeds benefiting amfAR. Auction items include works by Steven Klein, Terence Koh, Jack Pierson and Patrick McMullan. For a full list of PrideLuxe’s amfAR auction items click on the images below.
