International supermodel Coco Rocha attended the 20th Annual DKMS Gala on October 15, 2026, at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City, stepping out to support the international non-profit organization dedicated to fighting blood cancer. Rocha was accompanied on the red carpet by her son, Iver Eames Conran, as the star-studded event raised funds for bone marrow donor registration and life-saving treatments.
Speaking at the charity gala, Rocha reflected on her decade-long involvement with DKMS, expressing her continued dedication to spreading awareness about bone marrow donation. The annual New York gala brought together figures from fashion, entertainment, and philanthropy to honor patients, donors, and medical advocates working to expand the global donor registry.
The New York event capped an exceptionally busy autumn schedule for Rocha across the international fashion circuit. Earlier in October, she traveled to France for Paris Fashion Week, where she made a prominent appearance at Bosideng's 50th Anniversary presentation, titled 'The Bloom,' hosted at Karl Lagerfeld's former Paris residence, the Hôtel Pozzo di Borgo. Rocha also celebrated Irish design during Ireland Fashion Week 2026, opening the Irish Roots runway show at St. Helen's.
Known in the industry as 'The Queen of Pose,' Rocha has maintained an influential fashion career spanning over two decades. In addition to walking for major luxury labels including Jean Paul Gaultier, Chanel, and Christian Dior, she has championed model rights and mentorship through the Coco Rocha Model Camp, educating the next generation of runway models on industry ethics and professional standards.
Rocha's appearance at the DKMS Gala highlights her ongoing commitment to balancing high-profile fashion work with philanthropic advocacy. She continues to lead major international fashion presentations while utilizing her platform for global charitable causes.
