The Fifteen Percent Pledge brought major star power and even bigger purpose to Paramount Studios this weekend, closing out its 15th Street Block Party celebrations with an annual fundraising gala spotlighting Black entrepreneurs.

Hosted by Abby Phillip, the Los Angeles event honored Tina Knowles for her leadership and decades-long commitment to uplifting Black creatives and communities, with the crowd giving her a standing ovation during her acceptance moment.

Attendees included Meghan Markle, Kelly Rowland, Kimora Lee Simmons, Law Roach, Winnie Harlow, Chloe Bailey, Jeannie Mai, Rachel Zoe, and more.
