Lily Donaldson
Margherita Missoni
Fabiola Beracasa and Mario Testino
Claudia Cisneros
Acclaimed fashion photographer Mario Testino was honored at the AID for AIDS International’s eighth annual gala at Gustavino’s. The organization is dedicated to improving the quality of people living with HIV/AIDS in developing countries in Latin America, and is a particular favorite of the Venezuelan-based billionaire Cisneros family. Media heiress Claudia Cisneros spoke at the “My Hero” event and welcomed guests, including Margherita Missoni and Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld’s on/off girlfriend, British model Lily Donaldson, inside the venue.
Native Venezuelan Fabiola Beracasa, clad in Preen, has known the renowned lensman since her teenage years, when she was an intern and muse of Karl Lagerfeld in Paris. Fabiola is currently the style ambassador of Lagerfeld’s house of Fendi. The socialite is currently in Miami Beach for Art Basel.

fabiola, love, love, love the dress and jewelry. lily is rather sultry.
Lily and Margherita… such cute girls. Quite jealous of Margherita’s tan… Fabiola is wonderful. She always plays with her style.
Wow. Lily Donaldson’s legs don’t end, do they?
margherita always seems so fresh and in such good spirits… always refreshing to see. i had to take a second look at her foto as i thought she had styled her hair in tight braids (they are earrings).
lily donaldson is a living doll. vladimir is a lucky lad and should fancy an “on” with her much more often than “off” in my opinion!
agreed about fabiola’s style. it is always changing. she looks rather fetching here. accessories always make the outfit.
claudia’s jacket is so cute but sorry, not so much the leather pants. good on her to not sit idly but rather involve herself with a worthwhile organisation such as aid for aids.
As always, Margherita looks fab!!!
Fabiola looks great but I must admit that I am not a fan of the dark hair. She looks best with honey or dark blonde colouring. I adore the columnal Preen dress. Really cute.
I truly cannot believe I’m writing this, but I have newfound respect for Fabs – and no, I do not work for her PR company.
Initially, I thought that she was just another mindless social-climber, but I’ve completely changed my mind. She may not be the most beautiful or the most elegant or the most alluring woman, but she is intelligent (eg, fluent in at least 3 languages), down-to-earth, very friendly, and above all, philanthropic.
Now all she needs is a stylist (or a new one), because her accessories are off, and a new set of friends because the Tinz is tainted.
highly dubious about fabiola’s porn shoes. in fact apart from the dress am just dubious about that whole picture.
donaldson looks amazing and cisneros looks hot but stuck in a bit of a leather trouser time warp. They are back, i know, but you surely can’t wear them exactly as per sloane rangers circa 1990? surely??
and mmissoni does have a lovely smile
Yea, I was questioning the plastic see-thru porn shoes….but I love everything else on Fabiola!
