The fashion and beauty industries came together in November to honor Liz Tilberis, the Harper's Bazaar editor-in-chief who died last year of ovarian cancer.
Participating in the event was the Vivid Collection, which donated yellow diamond drop earrings for a live benefit auction hosted by celebrity Tracey Ullman. The earrings feature two radiant-cut fancy yellow diamonds totaling 2.49 cts., and round, marquise, and pear-shaped diamonds totaling 3.18 cts. Proceeds from the auction benefited the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund's Liz Tilberis Scholars Program for Excellence in Ovarian Cancer Research.
The event, attended by fashion and Hollywood celebrities including Claudia Schiffer, Molly Sims, and Calista Flockhart, raised more than $600,000. It was hosted by Ullman, Purpleskirt.com, and InStyle magazine.
