Alicia Keys And Ciara Bring The “Black Girl Magic” To Miami For Karol G’s Charity Gala! (PHOTOS)
Media Take Out has some exclusive, high-fashion tea coming straight from the 305! Last night, Miami was the center of the universe as Colombian superstar Karol G hosted her second annual Con Cora Land Benefit Gala at the historic Vizcaya Museum & Gardens.
While the event was hosted by Karol, the real stars of the show were our favorite R&B icons Alicia Keys and Ciara, who flew into town to remind everyone that they aren’t just hitmakers—they are some of the most dedicated philanthropists in the game.
The Fashion: Red Goddess vs. Green Queen!
When Ciara stepped out of her SUV, the paparazzi almost lost their minds. Cici looked like an actual RED GODDESSin a floor-length, body-hugging crimson gown that left absolutely nothing to the imagination. With her hair flowing and that signature “Level Up” glow, she was easily the best-dressed woman in the building.
But then came Alicia Keys, and she wasn’t playing fair either! Alicia opted for a more ethereal vibe, wearing a stunning, flowing emerald green gown that screamed “Miami Elegance.” Fans were quick to notice that Alicia looked younger than ever, rocking her signature “minimal makeup” look that had everyone wondering what her skincare routine is hitting for in 2026.
More Than Just A Pretty Face: The Charity Queens
While everyone was focused on the dresses, Media Take Out wants to give these ladies their flowers for the work they do behind the scenes. Seeing Alicia and Ciara at a benefit gala isn’t just a photo op—it’s a lifestyle for them.
Alicia Keys has been a powerhouse in the nonprofit world for over 20 years. Her organization, Keep a Child Alive (KCA), has raised over $90 million to fight HIV/AIDS and support vulnerable children in Africa and India. We’re hearing that Alicia spent a good portion of the night talking to donors about how KCA is expanding its reach in 2026 to focus even more on climate justice and education for young girls.
And don’t even get us started on Ciara! She and husband Russell Wilson have turned their Why Not You Foundationinto a global force. Just months ago, the couple made headlines for a massive $3 million donation to a children’s hospital, and Ciara has been on the front lines fighting food insecurity in Atlanta and beyond.
A Night For A Cause
The Con Cora Foundation gala was the perfect place for these three powerhouses to link up. The event was packed with A-listers, but the focus remained on Karol G’s mission to empower women and girls in vulnerable communities.
Seeing Alicia and Ciara show up for a fellow female artist’s foundation shows that the “sisterhood” in the industry is real. It wasn’t about the charts or the fame last night—it was about using that massive platform to make a change.
Who do you think had the better look: Ciara in the red or Alicia in the green? And which of these ladies’ charitable work inspires you the most? Let us know in the comments!
