Rihanna helped raise over $3 million at the event. Her manager Jay Brown won the auction for a replica of her Dior dress at $45,000.

“The energy, the crowd, the vibe,” Rihanna told People about the event. “I love everything about it!”

“It’s overwhelming to see so many of the people that I care about come together to support a cause that is near and dear to my heart,” she added. — Just Jared
