Jeffrey Fashion Cares celebrated its 10-year anniversary on April 2 at The Intrepid in New York City. A-list celebrities, models, fashion authorities, and more attended the event, which benefited Lambda Legal, the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America, The Hetrick-Martin Institute, and the Point Foundation.
Everybody was in style, but there were four who stood out. Most of the attendees wore short or see-through dresses, shiny ensembles, or skin-showing slits. Check them out below and don’t forget to let us know who’s your favorite!
1. Emmy Rossum in a Naeem Khan Resort 2013 Dress
You may find Emmy Rossum’s dress too flashy in sparkling gold. Look closer though, and perhaps you’ll love it. This 1920s Naeem Khan dress is intricately detailed with gold and black bugle beads. The fringe at the hem isn’t your usual fringe either, since it’s actually made of beads! How’s that?
Emmy completed the ensemble with a pair of equally stunning heels by Rupert Sanderson. Her sleek side-parted hair plus her light makeup made the dress stand out more.

2. Olivia Culpo in a Maroon Leather-and-Chiffon Double-Slit Dress
Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo looked like she was at it again, walking on stage for the long gown competition in her red number. During the pageant, Olivia wore a cleavage-baring red gown, and here at the Jeffrey Fashion Cares event, she was again wearing a red dress. This time though, her legs were exposed instead of her cleavage.
The dress features a leather tube top and a floor-sweeping chiffon skirt that has double thigh-high slits. Double slits on dresses aren’t new, and we’ve already seen a lot of celebrities showcase their legs in such during red carpet events. What do you think of this style? Would you love to see more celebs in such dresses?
Although this dress is undoubtedly sexy and very feminine, Olivia opted to finish it with black boots instead of some dainty-looking sandals.

3. Chrissy Teigen in an Alaia Dress
Are you daring enough to wear a dress that only covers your private parts? Take it from Chrissy Teigen when it comes to dressing sexy (and daring!). We’re not really sure about her Alaia dress; we wouldn’t wear it. It has ribbed mesh panels (similar to the shutter shades made popular by Kanye West) that will leave your entire body exposed! Black stretch knit covers the private parts; still, this is too daring for most people.
Regardless, Chrissy managed to carry the dress in style. She paired it with Jimmy Choo heels.

4. Kelly Bensimon in a Black Leather Fit-and-Flare Dress
Kelly Bensimon looked hot in a futuristic black leather dress. Its fit-and-flare style showed off the 44-year-old model’s curves and statuesque beauty. This dress features cap sleeves that make it modern and edgy, a pleated skirt, and lacelike cutouts with mesh at the yoke, which exposed a portion of her chest.
Completing her modern look were a pair of pointed-toe pumps in silver.
