Kravitz attended the event in a reliably cool and all black outfit, made up of a leather jacket, a black shirt with white polka dots on it, and some black denim jeans. He rounded it all off with a pop of color, in the shape of some brown suede boots. 

He styled his hair in braids and ended the look with some sunglasses. 

Kravitz took some photos alongside the musician Seu Jorge, and Paula Bezerra de Mello, a prominent Brazilian and CEO of Ello Comunicação.

The gala was hosted by Hugo Gloss and Ingrid Silva, and hosted all sorts of guests, among them Matt Dillon, Giulia Be, and more. 

It hosted an auction providing guests with unique experiences and items, including some of Kobra's artwork, access to backstage and rehearsals of Shakira and The Weeknd, who'll be performing at the Citizen Concert later this month, and more. 

One of the best experiences available on the sale includes tickets to Inter Miami, with the winner taking seats alongside David Beckham. Aside from access to the experience, the winner will also get access to signed jerseys from Beckham and Lionel Messi

More details about Kravitz's participation

Kravitz's participation at the event was one of the main surprises for guests. To support the foundation, he lent one of his properties to the auction, renting his ranch in Duas Barras, Rio de Janeiro, for a lucky guest on one weekend. 

On previous occasions, Kravitz has opened up about his love for Brazil and his decision to purchase his ranch. “I was travelling through Brazil and getting more and more attracted to the people, the culture, the food, the music, and the land too. There’s something incredibly powerful and majestic here,” he said in an interview with Architectural Digest.

Kravitz is a big fan of Brazil, spending a good percentage of his time in his ranch in Rio de Janeiro

Kravitz was initially invited by a friend in Rio to stay in the property he ended up purchasing. “I ended up staying for six months," he said. 

"It was extraordinary. I just dropped out of life, learned to ride horses from the cowboys, learned about farming, and reconnected with nature. I’d never felt more calm, peaceful, and closer to God. It was a magical time. I thought I’m done with the hustle and the bustle. I’m going to be a farmer.”
