A glittering evening at Christie's in New York City brought together prominent figures from entertainment and fashion on Wednesday, April 29, for The King's Trust's 5th Annual Gala. The event coincided with King Charles' first visit to the United States since becoming the British monarch.

The red carpet drew an impressive roster of attendees, including Nina Dobrev, Karlie Kloss, and Jasmine Tookes. The celebration highlighted the work of The King's Trust, an organization founded by King Charles in 1976 when he held the title of Prince of Wales.

Lionel Richie, who serves as a longtime Global Ambassador for the organization, attended alongside his girlfriend Lisa Parigi. Edward Enninful, an Ambassador for the charity, was also present at the gala.

Founded nearly five decades ago as a support system for disadvantaged youth in the United Kingdom, The King's Trust has grown substantially. The organization now operates in 25 countries and has provided education, employability, and entrepreneurship initiatives to over one million young people. Its recent expansion into the United States brings programming to New York, Chicago, Orlando, San Jose, and Detroit.

The evening's guest list reflected the charity's prominence, featuring The White Lotus co-stars Meghann Fahy and Leo Woodall, models Karen Elson and Neelam Gill, and fashion industry leaders Donatella Versace and Stella McCartney, among numerous other notable figures from entertainment and design.
