She was joined by “Smurfs: The Lost Village” co-stars Mandy Patinkin and Joe Manganiello during the United Nations appearance, where the cast participated in the campaign’s youth-focused presentation.

The then-24-year-old actress and singer glowed in a white mini dress from Jill Stuart, which featured a sleeveless design, a high neckline, and a flared skirt.

Demi added a playful touch with a custom Edie Parker “Flavia” clutch emblazoned with “Smurfette” in blue, while metallic Giuseppe Zanotti “Darcie” sandals put her “Let Go & Let God” foot tattoos on display.
She finished the look with a sleek side-parted bob, glossy pink lips, and her signature forearm bird tattoos peeking through.

Mandy Patinkin donned an all-black ensemble for his visit to the UN headquarters, and Joe Manganiello wore a navy Ted Baker suit and black dress shoes.

The “Darcie” sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti feature laminated leather, buckled straps, and slender toe bands. They also have covered stiletto heels and leather soles with the brand’s logo.
