Estelle, LaLa Anthony and Rutina Wesley were among the YBF celebs who celebrated the world's many cultures last night at a fabulous gala in New York City.  See the pics inside.....

Last night, the Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted the Multicultural Benefit Gala To Celebrate "An Evening of Many Cultures."

LaLa Anthony was among the guests and she wore a blue Vera Wang gown with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.

"True Blood" actress Rutina Wesley wore a sexy black gown with leather top portion and a chiffon bottom. 

Star Jones wore a deep purple gown.  Not my fave look for her.

Robert De Niro arrived with his wife Grace Hightower who was one of the honorees at the event.  Grace looked fabulous in a pewter gown with a bow at the waist.

Robert was seen talking to director Spike Lee at the gala.

Later the pair posed for a pic with Samuel Jackson.

Spike Lee attended the gale with his gorgeous wife Tonya Lewis Lee who dazzled in a fuchsia gown with gold heels. 

Samuel and his wife LaTayna Richardson Jackson were also honorees.
 

News anchor Al Roker arrived with his wife, fellow news anchor Deborah Roberts who looked great in her multi-colored gown.  

Actress and Broadway star Angela Bassett wore a black and white gown with double bows across the chest.  Showing some of her sex appeal.  Not mad.

Estelle also went the sexy route in a revealing black gown with intricate detail at the top.

And Johnson Publications President Desiree Rogers wore a fun and frilly outfit with ruffles and sequin.  You'd never imagine she was over 50!

Actress Rosie Perez also attended and posed with Geoffrey Fletcher.
