The fabulous females of Hollywood (as well as a few of the males) stepped out in support of breast cancer research on Saturday evening to attend Elyse Walker‘s 10th and final Pink Party.

The annual gala, which benefits the Women’s Cancer Program (WCP) at the Cedars-Sinai Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute, was hosted by Jennifer Garner and Rachel Zoe at Hangar 8 in Santa Monica and raised over $1.8 million for WCP. Since the launch of The Pink Party 10 years ago, the annual gala has changed the face of cancer by raising over $11.5 million for the program.

Dr. Beth Karlan, director of the Women’s Cancer Program (WCP) at the Cedars-Sinai Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute, kicked off the evening with a brief speech before Walker spoke of losing her mother to ovarian cancer. Longtime friends Garner and Zoe then gave a brief Laurel and Hardy type duo speech, whereupon Zoe told the audience, “Something you might not know about Jennifer Garner is that she’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met.”

The two then joined Walker to raise money during a live auction, which included items such as a one week stay at Casa Yvonne (a San Jose del Cabo Luxury Home), a one-year lease on a 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet from The Auto Gallery, and The Perfect 10 Package which featured items such as a $10,000 shopping spree at FWRD, 10 gold and diamond pave stacking rings from Zoe Chicco, dinner at Giorgi Baldi for 10 people and more!  For the third year, contemporary artist, RETNA (Marqis Lewis), donated a gorgeous blue on white 8X8 work of art, which pre-sold for an undisclosed amount.

After the live auction, guests were treated to a fabulous fashion show. Models walked down a 50 foot runway showing off eight looks apiece from the design houses ADEAM, Barbara Bui, Belstaff, Chloé, J.Mendel, Giambattista Valli, Lanvin, Rachel Zoe, and Reed Krakoff.

For the fourth year, SUPRA joined forces with Walker by creating a limited-edition Pink Party high-top sneaker in which the proceeds benefit the cause.

Attendees at the fete included Maria Shriver and daughter, Katherine Schwarzenegger, Giuliana and Bill Rancic, Molly Sims and Scott Stuber, Shay Mitchell, Marcia Cross, AJ Cook, Reid Scott, Brenda Song, Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin, Frances Fisher, and music was provided by special guest, DJ Samantha Ronson.
