Va-va-voom! Looking ravishing in red Amber Heard attended The Art of Elysium 2nd Annual Heaven Gala yesterday in Los Angeles, California. The occasion served as an event to showcase the multitude of artistic expressions The Art of Elysium shares with hospitalized children on a daily basis.

The visual and conceptual aspects of the theme, entitled “Heaven,” were created by legendary director, Jim Sheridan (Brothers, My Left Foot, In America), who also received the program’s Visionary award that evening. The gala, hosted at The Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles, drew dozens of supporters, as did the gala’s “Hell”-themed after-party at The Edison, also conceptualized by Sheridan.

Amber’s look is definitely one of my favorites to date and she was, no doubt, sporting one of the most creative looks of the evening. The Moulin Rouge! esque corset dress she wore is simply stunning and all of those fun accessories, like the earrings, sandals and silver clutch, just make it all the more fun. Her raven up-do compliments the dress beautifully.

The gala saw actress Eva Mendes receive the “Spirit of Elysium” award for her enthusiastic support and active participation in The Art of Elysium’s hospital program over the past two years, as well as her dedication to securing considerable financial support for the program.

“The support shown to The Art of Elysium by the entertainment community is truly overwhelming,” said Ryan Kavanaugh, a member of The Art of Elysium’s Board of Directors, and a passionate sponsor and supporter of the organization. “The money raised tonight will go a long way to support the programs Elysium provides, which do so much to help children who need encouragement during their difficult time. It is of the utmost importance that we do everything we can to continue their inspiring work.”

The Art of Elysium is a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization founded in 1997 which encourages actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions. They provide artistic workshops in the following disciplines: acting, art, comedy, fashion, music, radio, songwriting and creative writing.
