The stars were out at last night’s exclusive advanced screening of “Puss in Boots 3D” hosted by Redbook magazine and Mexican actress, director and humanitarian Salma Hayek Pinault. The event, which was held at the stunning Hearst Tower in New York City, included a cocktail reception and a silent auction of – you guessed it – more than 40 pairs of boots from top designers including Stella McCartney, Gucci and Tory Burch. Proceeds from the auction went to Pro Mujer and V-Day in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
