Last night at the absolutely fabulous and witty Mr. Brainwash Museum in Beverly Hills, Hollywood’s changemakers gathered for the kind of causes that can transcend a splashy red carpet — celebrating the 10th Anniversary Gala of We Do It Together.

This groundbreaking 501(c)(3) nonprofit is dedicated to amplifying women’s voices in film, media, and global culture. And the milestone event was both a celebration and a call to fundraising action, honoring women whose influence stretches far beyond the screen.

Sharon Stone received the Iconic Excellence Award for her humanitarian work in HIV/AIDS awareness, women’s rights, and global justice. And additional honorees included other remarkable women who have played critical roles in amplifying women’s voices, including: 16-time Academy Award–nominated composer Diane Warren; director Patricia Riggen; Beverly Hills Mayor Dr. Sharona Nazarian; CNN Hero, Dr. Kim Carter; Italian supermodel and activist, Bianca Balti; and Dr. Rita Ali, founder of We 2 Matter.

Guests included world-renowned street artist and filmmaker Thierry Guetta (aka Mr. Brainwash) who donated “Pop Wall” a silkscreen and mixed media on canvas with splashed frame for the live auction — as well as actor Taye Diggs, Selling Sunset’s Jason Oppenheim, Mary Bonnet, Romain Bonnet, and Sandra Vergara, spiritual leaders Oliver Niño and Mandy Morris (Founders of the Authentic Living Foundation), Derek Warburton, Bobby Brown, Debora Guetta and more.

Mr. Brainwash himself was chatting up guests and taking selfies. Does this count as official artwork from Mr. Brainwash himself? I think it does.

Known for his bold fusion of pop culture, graffiti, and contemporary art, the Mr. Brainwash Museum provides a space where art, imagination, and wonder converge — and was a fitting backdrop to celebrate a decade of women’s empowerment.

The gala also shone a spotlight on We Do It Together’s newest global initiatives, underscoring the organization’s expanding influence in the movement to elevate women’s voices through films, campaigns, and impact-driven cultural events.

“For the last 10 years, We Do It Together has worked to change the cultural roots of gender inequality through film, education, and social impact campaigns. Yet violence and disparity continue to rise worldwide. I am grateful that during the gala, we will honor extraordinary women who inspire change. Our commitment is stronger than ever,” said founder Chiara Tilesi.

The evening also included the U.S. premieres of the internationally acclaimed I AM campaign, featuring, among others, Helen Mirren, Marisa Tomei, and Catherine Hardwicke. They join more than 50 influential women in art, culture, and cinema worldwide in celebrating identity, resilience, and empowerment through self-portrait videos paired with personal declarations beginning with “I AM.”

Master of Ceremonies Giselle Fernandez kicked off the evening of awards, presentations, and recognition. The reception and red carpet will be followed by the awards ceremony and a seated dinner, concluding with an exclusive private tour of the museum.

Renowned Italian artist Camilla Ancilotto designed the Victoria Award that was presented to the honorees. Inspired by the ancient Winged Victory of Vani (2nd–1st century BC), the bronze statuette symbolizes light and rebirth, featuring restored gold-plated wings while preserving the aged bronze as a tribute to its origins. Each piece was crafted by Poignée, the esteemed Italian workshop known for creating the papal coats of arms for Popes Benedict XVI, Francis, and Leo.

Sponsors included Eataly, Pomellato, Lyra Wine, Marzocco, Golden Eagle Vodka, and Pink Clover Florals. All set the tone for the gala with Italian elegance, vibrant florals, and artful cocktails.
