For those lucky enough to be there on Wednesday, the 6th of February at the North Lawn of the United Nations, it was certainly one of those nights that will hold fond memories.

Madonna and Gucci hosted A NIGHT TO BENEFIT RAISING MALAWI AND UNICEF, an exclusive fundraising event, co-chaired by Gucci's Creative Director, Frida Giannini, for an evening dedicated to raising funds and awareness for orphans and children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS in Africa.

With Special Performances by Alicia Keys, Timbaland and Rihanna; the evening included a live auction hosted by Chris Rock.

Other distinguished co-chairs included: Drew Barrymore, Arpad Busson, Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Gwyneth Paltrow, Professor Jeffrey Sachs, as well as UNICEF Ambassadors Tea Leoni, and Lucy Liu.

The VIP guests list read like a roll-call of the créme de la créme from the worlds of fashion, music and film but then, what would you expect from a collaboration between fashion iconic label Gucci and the Queen of Pop Madonna?
