Summer Gala: Gala One Saint-Tropez 2025: An Unforgettable Evening of Art, Philanthropy & Iconic Glamour
On July 24, 2025, the sun set over the French Riviera as Gala One illuminated the Golf Club Saint-Tropez with an unforgettable evening dedicated to giving back. With a cause-driven mission and unmatched elegance, this exclusive event brought together Hollywood luminaries, acclaimed artists, and philanthropists from across the globe.
A Night of Stars & Purpose
Hosted by the incomparable Jamie Foxx and highlighted by a live performance from the chart-topping Rita Ora, Gala One was a true celebration of impact and artistry. The evening was steered by a powerhouse lineup of event chairs including Adrien Brody, Casey Affleck, Nathalie Emmanuel, Oliver Trevena, and Taika Waititi, with Tommaso Chiabra leading as Chairman.
The energy was electric, the guest list iconic.
Art With Meaning
A central highlight of the evening was the auction—a world-class collection of exclusive experiences and original artworks. Among the standout pieces was “Summer”, a striking diptych by Brandusa Niro, known for her bold figurative expressionism. The work—part of her “Models” series—echoed the grace and presence of the very muses who have shaped her artistic and editorial journey.
“Each canvas is a moment suspended in light,” said Niro. “It’s about capturing beauty that feels untouchable—yet familiar.”
From Ellen von Unwerth’s Gisele portrait to Mr. Brainwash’s bold statement on Saint-Tropez, the auction brought purpose and prestige together in one unforgettable gallery.
Giving Back, Boldly
Proceeds from Gala One support three leading global nonprofits:
Amend: making children’s journeys to school safer across Africa
King’s Trust International: empowering young people in 25+ countries to learn, earn, and thrive
Rainforest Trust: preserving our planet’s most endangered tropical ecosystems
Each bid cast was a stand for a better world.
A Taste of Saint-Tropez
Guests enjoyed a curated multi-course dinner paired with signature cocktails by MY LAB Paris and champagne from Hatt et Söner. The evening closed under a sky full of stars—both in the sky and across the dance floor.
