The man of the night himself, Leonardo, 40, wore a crisp navy suit and silk tie and was supported by his stunning new girlfriend Kelly Rohrbach. The blonde model showed off her svelte figure in a lavender lace dress that featured cut out sides and a revealing back.

Leonardo opened the evening with an impassioned speech about the Foundation’s work and saying, "We've decimated our forests, wildlands, polluted and over fished our rivers and oceans; all the key ecosystems that not only serve as a home to our planet’s biodiversity, but also make life here for us possible. I’m incredibly proud to be part of a night that will allow us to do so much to protect the planet.“

Once inside the exclusive bash, guests were seated for dinner followed by drinks, dancing and an auction. Leonardo raised $40 million this year with auction items like his own Rolex Daytona Cosmograph watch, Andy Warhol and Bansky artworks from his personal collection and a private concert with Elton John who provided the entertainment for the evening. Later that night, guests danced as DJ Cassidy provided the entertainment.

Kate Hudson's animated photo of herself surrounded by her girlfriends summed up the night. "St. Tropez @leonardodicaprio #leonardodicapriofoundation @donatiennela @ninadobrev @hillaryharley @sophielopez," she captioned the Instagram snap.
