The amfAR New York Gala in February 2014 was a star-studded affair filled with celebrities, “it” girls, and leggy supermodels.
While the event didn’t deliver a wide range of memorable footwear, one standout pair more than made up for it. Supermodel Lily Aldridge stole the spotlight in heels that turned heads—and an ensemble that radiated timeless elegance.

Lily Aldridge Stuns in Ethereal Rosie Assoulin Gown and Striking Accessories
Arriving in a striking white off-shoulder gown by Rosie Assoulin, Lily commanded attention with dramatic capelike sleeves and a fluted, flowing skirt. The sweetheart neckline framed a delicate gold serpent necklace that draped elegantly across her collarbone, perfectly complementing the ethereal look.
Her makeup offered a striking contrast—dark and polished against the softness of her gown, adding a modern edge to her regal aesthetic. Looking back, it’s easy to see why Lily was widely considered one of the best dressed on the red carpet that evening.
Other stars who impressed on the red carpet included Karolina Kurkova in a slinky black Giorgio Armani dress paired with Jimmy Choo ‘Escape’ sandals.
