The LADP held their exclusive 2021 gala on October 16th, located at a private residence and hosted by gala co-chairs Jane Fonda, Natalie Portman, and Benjamin Millepied. Guests enjoyed Billecart Champagne under the stars during the cocktail hour, which ran concurrently with the silent auction. The auction featured rare, curated items for attendees to bid on, including an exclusive Zadig et Voltaire jacket by artist Amanda Wachob. The event began by honoring CEO of Van Cleef Arpels, Nicolas Bos, for his long support of the project and his passion for dance as a whole. This was followed by three dance performances, one of which was the premiere of Benjamin’s latest project, _Pillar V._ Following the performances, guests sat down and selected a meal from a Wolfgang Puck menu while enjoying drinks from French brand, Aline Wines. The event raised more than $800,000 to help support LA dance culture, and drew in notable guests such as Andie MacDowell, Barry Jenkins, Georgie Flores, Jennifer Grey, Jodie Foster, and Alexandra Hedison, Mindy Kaling, Paula Abdul, and more.
