Alicia Keys: Keep A Child Alive's Black Ball Redux!

Alicia Keys hits the red carpet in style at the Keep A Child Alive Black Ball Redux 2012 held at The Apollo Theater on Thursday (December 6) in New York City.

The 31-year-old entertainer was joined at the event by Chanel Iman, Padma Lakshmi, and her hubby Swizz Beatz.

“There are places in the world where Keep a Child Alive serves where they have a Hurricane Sandy every day,” Alicia told CBS about the event. “They don’t have electricity, they don’t have heat … and that made me more invigorated to make sure this Black Ball happened.”

Congrats to Alicia and all involved – a total of $2.9 million was raised last night!

FYI: Alicia is wearing an Azzedine Alaia dress and Cartier jewels. Padma is wearing a Monique Lhuillier dress and PL by Padma Lakshmi earrings.
