The 2018 Planned Parenthood of New York City Gala will honor outgoing Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards and actor Laverne Cox, the organization has revealed. The benefit, taking place at Spring Studios on May 1, will include an awards ceremony and an after party hosted by Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, Chloë Sevigny and Marilyn Minter.

Last year’s gala, which celebrated Planned Parenthood’s 100th anniversary, honored Hillary Clinton and Shonda Rhimes. Expected attendees at this year’s function include Uma Thurman, Annette Bening, Naomi Campbell, Sarah Jessica Parker, Scarlett Johansson and more.

Richards has been president of Planned Parenthood since 2006. Prior to joining the organization, she was the deputy chief of staff for house Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. She revealed her plans to step down as Planned Parenthood president earlier this year.

Cox is best known for her role on “Orange is the New Black.” In 2014, she became the first openly transgender person to be nominated for an Emmy.

“I’d been living in L.A. for the last year, and I felt like New York had such a need for a space where it can be just an oasis to take care of yourself,” said @cleanfooddirtycity of creating @clean.market, an upscale holistic wellness center in NYC. A market in the front of the shop sells a mix of clean beauty and skin products and apothecary-style items, while a cafe-style functional food and tonic bar is set up in the middle of the space, serving lattes and superfood smoothies.

“We don’t fight because we are just friends and respectful of each other’s projects. Max is even producing my solo album...I think what keeps us together is five o’clock white wine time,” said singer/songwriter @iamalexwinston of working with friend @alexmaax on their new EP “Crown.” Together they make up pop duo @postprecious, and their new EP is inspired by Hershenow’s devotion to the gay dance party scene.

Replete with 🔥 detail and a logo name tag, the Prada camp shirt began as a bold style statement on Pusha T at Governors Ball in early June. Now, it’s emerged as a favorite amongst street-style stars throughout the past month’s men’s collections, writes WWD Eye Editor @leighen. The flame-licked shirt also found a home on the one and only Jeff Goldblum, and seems to be the favorite for fashion gents this summer. And who can blame them? It works with track pants and Chanel sneakers, black trousers and bold glasses or worn open with a T-shirt and sneakers. But a winner may have been crowned. Per stylist Marc Goehring, himself a wearer of the look, #jeffgoldblumworeitbetter. #wwdeye #wwdmens
