Hollywood’s A-list descended on the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on Thursday for the Golden Age of Hollywood-themed amfAR gala to cap off yet another event-filled Cannes Film Festival.

After their many photo-ops on the glamorous red carpet, actors, musicians and a bevy of supermodels made their way inside the fabled French Riviera venue to raise funds for AIDS research programs.

Leonardo DiCaprio arrived with BFF Tobey Maguire and David Beckham, both of whom were seated at the newly-single actor’s table. Bella Hadid, who wore a sheer Ralph & Russo gown, was spotted making her way to DiCaprio’s table.

That's a wrap for another successful @amfar Cinema Against AIDS runway show, link in bio for all of the best looks.
