DUBAI: Jeddah's Red Sea Film Festival was one of the main sponsors at the star-studded amfAR gala, held during the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday.
Guests included Ellie Goulding, Heather Graham, Casey Affleck and Jodie-Turner Smith who all posed up a storm in front of the Saudi film festival's insignia on the red carpet.
“I see a lot of rich people here!” said Turner-Smith as she took to the stage to open the gala.
Honorees included Turkish-Italian director Ferzan Ozpetek, who paid tribute to AmfAR co-founder Elizabeth Taylor “who is looking at us from the heavens.”
Once the auction was over, Grammy Award-nominated British pop singer Goulding took to the stage for a live set that included her smash hit “Love Me Like You Do.”
