"  The annual charity bash, thrown by Carine Roitfeld, features the world&amp;#039;s most beautiful models hitting the catwalk to showcase gowns specially created by the biggest designer names (last year&amp;#039;s show featured everyone from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Karolina Kurkova, to Alessandra Ambrosio, Irina Shayk and Liberty Ross, to name but a few).  &amp;quot;She searched for love all her life, and I think she would have been a big supporter of the foundation,&amp;quot; said Roitfeld of her decision to focus this year&amp;#039;s event on Monroe.   The 2014 show will take on a red dress theme (last year&amp;#039;s was gold, 2012&amp;#039;s black), and will feature eveningwear creations\u2014designed with Monroe in mind\u2014by 35 different brands, including Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Chanel, Christian Dior, Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford, Versace, Gucci Christopher Kane, Givenchy and Giorgio Armani. A cast of 40 models has been enlisted this year, with Karlie Kloss, Toni Garrn and Arizona Muse already confirmed.   &amp;quot;Some of the girls come at their own expense just to be part of the show,&amp;quot; Roitfeld told WWD. &amp;quot;Charities are so sad, you often feel guilty attending them. But it&amp;#039;s a party, and we are celebrating life.&amp;quot;  Following the show, the dresses are auctioned to raise money for the charity, with the previous two collections both raising around $2 million. Sharon Stone, amfAR&amp;#039;s global fund-raising chairman, will be overseeing the auction once again this year, which will also include other once-in-a-lifetime lots (previously up for grabs was a trip to space with Leonardo DiCaprio, a kiss from George Clooney and a photoshoot with Karl Lagerfeld).  This year&amp;#039;s benefit will be chaired by film and fashion heavyweights including Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, John Travolta, Harvey Weinstein and Milla Jovovich. Lana del Rey, Robin Thicke and Aloe Blacc are also scheduled to perform during the evening. Via HarpersBazaar.co.uk "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
