The Academy Award-nominated Demi appeared in a stylish all-black outfit, consisting of a loose wrap coat, leather slim-fit pants, and a matching top, paired with khaki suede high heels. In contrast, Sara, aged 44, who was the focus of the event, made a bold impression with a sheer tartan high-neck top and visible bra underneath.

Sara complemented her ensemble with a coordinated midi-skirt and black leather stilettos, also seen wearing a similar wrap coat. Katherine McPhee, 41, married to Sara’s father David Foster, 75, also attended. The American Idol alum wore an outfit similar to her stepdaughter’s, differing only by her choice of open-toe heels.

Sara posed for photographs alongside model Rocky Barnes, who dazzled in a green satin halter-neck ruched dress. Her look was elevated with a teal jacquard satin bomber jacket and gold strappy heels. This event follows the news shared by Emma Heming, wife of Demi’s ex Bruce Willis, about their young children’s reaction to his dementia diagnosis.

Emma, at 47, has been caring for Bruce, 70, as he battles frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a condition affecting brain areas responsible for personality and language. Bruce has largely kept away from the public eye since the diagnosis, but Emma and the family sometimes share updates on his health. Recently, Emma discussed with Vogue Australia how their daughters, Mabel Ray, 13, and Evelyn Penn, 11, are handling their father’s illness.

“Considering everything, they’re managing, though it’s challenging,” Emma told Vogue Australia on Friday. “They mourn, missing their father greatly. He’s absent during key moments, which is hard on them – but children can be resilient, even if I once disliked hearing that because people didn’t understand our experience.” Earlier this month, Demi captivated her 6.4 million Instagram followers with a stunning new photo.

The actress — who was recently spotted in New York City — revived the hairstyle she had in the 1996 film, adding bangs to her signature long, dark hair. In a present-day photo, Demi flaunted her fresh fringe while posing in a white T-shirt and jeans and accessorising with a turquoise choker. ‘Bangs — now and then. Thank you @gucci for letting me bring back the fringe for the first time since the [film] days!’ the Golden Globe winner captioned the photo.

She shared a second photo, a movie still, for comparison. Vogue Beauty called Demi’s return to bangs one of the ‘best moments’ from Fashion Month. On Instagram, the account posted a snapshot of Demi sporting ‘Gucci bangs’ with the caption, ‘As Fashion Month wraps up, we’re reliving the best moments .’

Demi became the then-highest-paid actress in Hollywood when she received $12.5million to lead the cast of the film. She starred in the dark comedy as an FBI agent who finds herself without a job and resorts to dancing at a Miami club called the Eager Beaver. Although the movie was ridiculed by critics, it made a respectable profit — thanks in part to the lure of Demi’s topless scenes.
