Paris Hilton looked every inch the heiress as she waltzed the red carpet in a gleaming gold gown.
The 30-year-old was out on the tiles for a Will.i.am benefit, which aimed to raise money for needy students.
It was hoped that the Black Eyed Peas leader would raise $1 million for his charity that benefits needy students at a concert, instead he raised $5 million.
He hosted an event that featured performances from Stevie Wonder and Ne-Yo at the Hollywood Palladium for his i.am angel foundation, established in 2009.
The Black Eyed Peas leader said he was inspired by the 2010 documentary 'Waiting for Superman,' about U.S. public education. He said that 'Superman is not coming to save no neighborhood or no education system.'
Thursday night's event, dubbed 'TRANS4MATION EXPERIENCE,' was the first annual celebration for will.i.am's foundation.
Videos played in the background highlighted students struggling to get an education from various neighborhoods, including Boyle Heights, where will.i.am grew up. One message on the screen read: 'It's time to bring good to the hood.'
Will.i.am performed with the Black Eyed Peas, though Fergie was absent. The night's top guest was Wonder, who played the harmonica and the keys and sang classics like 'My Cherie Amor' and 'Superstition.' The veteran singer said he was delighted to support will.i.am.
