AmFAR is a leading charity in support of HIV/AIDS research, and a gaggle of movie stars made their way over to the hotel to both bid on and auction artworks; a list that included Sienna Miller, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Rodriguez, Harvey Keitel, Karlie Kloss, Adrian Brody, Tom Ford, Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard and of course Leo DiCaprio. Movie stars and star artworks commingled freely, as over €33 million were collected for a great cause.
