We imagine famous photographer Steven Klein doesn’t open up his private horse farm estate in Bridgehampton for just anybody or any cause. As such, it was an A-List crowd that turned out for the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America (ACRIA), Calvin Klein and Vanity Fair “Cocktails at Sunset” charity benefit this past Saturday (July 18).

Along with Vogue star Lauren Santo Domingo, beauty guru Olivia Chantecaille and Zani Gugelmann all sported simple and sleek Calvin Klein. Sarah Jessica Parker and hubby Matthew Broderick also turned out to support the event and chatted up Calvin Klein designers Francisco Costa (women’s) and Italo Zucchelli (men’s).

Polo star Nacho Figueras showed up after making an appearance at the opening weekend of the Mercedes Benz Polo Challenge with wife Delphine Blaquier. The fashion heavyweight list goes on including Daphne Guinness, Joe Zee, Stefano Tonchi, Rachel Zoe and Vanity Fair’s Elizabeth Saltzman Walker.

A silent auction of works by famous artists (such as Jeff Koons, Julian Schnabel and the whimsical Donald Baechler) was part of the night’s fundraising duties. Proceeds went to benefit ACRIA’s HIV research and treatments. Makes for the perfect “cocktail at sunset” of style and good deeds.
