Red Hot Celebrities Attending The City of Hope Gala In Santa Monica

Anyone who read that title and got excited that the John Sayles film City of Hope was finally getting the recognition it deserves is going to be sorely disappointed to learn that the City of Hope Gala has nothing to do with promoting a nearly thirty year old film starring Angela Bassett and Joe Morton.

No, this is a Gala to raise awareness about something or other. Everyone's always raising awareness these days. Wouldn't you say that awareness is at an all-time high right now? It seems to me that the more awareness that is raised, the fewer issues actually matter in the end. But that's just me.

So who was rocking it on the red carpet? Well, kicking things off is Rita Ora looking ravishing in red, followed by Bebe Rexha showing all manner of inner cleavage in a sparkly red number with a plunging neckline.

Also in attendance were a number of other beauties like the alliterative pair of Gloria Govan and Skyler Stecker, as well as the ubiquitous Tiffany Haddish, Jena Rose looking lovely in lavender, and Destiny's Child herself, Kelly Rowland. And yes, Beyonce was there, but she doesn't walk the red carpet anymore, she gets snuck in a back door.
