Alicia Keys is continuing her charity work with her groups who benefit children with AIDS.  She, along with husband Swizz Beatz, hosted her 8th Annual Keep A Child Alive Black Ball at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC tonight.

And we've got the pics of the fab folks who attended inside...

Mr. & Mrs. Beatz hosted their celebrity friends tonight for Alicia's annual AIDS benefit for children in Africa and beyond.  And this year, Alicia wanted the focus to be on India.

Alicia, who also performed tonight, told MTV News this week:

The theme is going to be all about India because we've moved into helping to serve India in regards to what they’re going through with the AIDS pandemic, just like we do in Africa.  It’s going to be beautiful, the music is going to have a little Indian style to it as well, which is super fun for me to explore.”

More pics from the red carpet:

Alicia Keys wore a Stella McCartney Winter 11 Cream Suiting Jacket with a gold sequin top and Black wool tailoring trousers.

Nice.

Supermodel and 'ANTM" host Tyra Banks looked stunning in a purple strapless mermaid style evening gown with bow-tie detail:

And paired it with a red lip.

Kerry Washington made a lovely appearance in her white stripe-on-tulle dress and nude Louboutins.  Very interesting. 

And I love it.

The Anthony's showed up in matching all black...and LaLa with her head piece on.

Interesting....

And besties La and Serena Williams kicked it inside.

And Serena looked nice in a black gown with gold belted hardware and cut-outs near the bottom.

Queen Latifah put on her black suit and hat and looked pretty damn dapper:

Nice.

Model Chanel Iman looked nice in her black and white number.  Looks like the halter was about to hang to low and expose her goodies though.

And will.i.am and Gayle King were there to help celebrate in the benefit as well.
