The radiant Elizabeth Hurley played emcee, the legendary Tony Bennett crooned tunes, and perennial performer Sir Elton John made a special appearance at "the Very Hot Pink Party" to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).

A dress code of black-tie with a touch of hot pink was in order at The Waldorf for the exclusive event, which raised nearly $4.4 mil to fight this devastating disease.

Along with cocktails, dinner, and star-studded entertainment, the evening was complete with an ultra-luxe raffle featuring a Skincare and makeup consultation with BCRF founder Evelyn Lauder, a Carmen Marc Valvo Tahitian pearl scarf, a Van Cleef & Arpels brooch, and a cottage for a week at Sea Island, Georgia. Co-chairing the festivities were Cornelia Guest, Donna Karan, Leonard Lauder, Annette de la Renta, Star Jones Reynolds, Ingrid Sischy, Sandra Brant, and Linda Stein.

Also in the mix: David Furnish, Ashley Judd and Dario Franchitti, Dr. Larry Norton, Anastacia, and BCRF president Myra Biblowit.

A hue-ge success!
