What would a benefit be without Lady Gaga in underpants, performing on a rotating white piano? At least Gaga wasn't under-dressed—she glammed up her outfit by gluing hundreds of tiny pearls to her face and legs.
Gaga and her idol Cyndi Lauper have teamed up as part of MAC's Viva Glam campaign, which supports the MAC AIDS Fund. Viva Glam lipsticks named for the two stars—Gaga is sporting her eponymous lip color here—go on sale March 18, and all proceeds benefit AIDS research.

Richardson's mother, actress Vanessa Redgrave, recounted how Natasha got involved in AIDS fundraising after her father, Oscar winning director Tony Richardson, died of the disease in 1991. Afterward, the simply-dressed Meryl Streep took the stage and wowed the audience with the traditional Irish song "Good Night and Joy Be With You All," delivered in brogue, in memory of her friend Natasha.
