Michael Kors Cohost Reception at U.N. to Honor Watch Hunger Stop – celebritiestalks
Fresh off his Fashion show on the waterfront in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Michael Kors cohosted a reception at the United Nations Monday night for Watch Hunger Stop, a worldwide campaign in support of the United Nations World Food Programme to help achieve a world with Zero Hunger.
Kors cohosted the event with Cindy McCain, WFP’s executive director. Halle Berry, who joined Kors 10 years ago for the launch of Watch Hunger Stop, was also there to show her ongoing support.

Others who attended included Hayley Atwell, Alina Cho, Valentino Ferrara, Tina Leung, Olivia Perez and Camila Alves.
The evening kicked off with remarks by Kors and McCain to acknowledge WFP’s life-changing work around the world and the 30 million school meals that Watch Hunger Stop has supported in the decade since its inception.
Kors said the company would be raising its level of support for WFP from donating the equivalent of 3 million to 4 million meals annually, effective this year.
This year’s Watch Hunger Stop campaign features Berry and Kate Hudson, another early and strong supporter of the Kors initiative, in imagery shot by photographer Cliff Watts. Hudson joined Watch Hunger Stop from 2015 through 2018 before becoming WFP Goodwill Ambassador herself. Both women have visited WFP-supported communities, with Berry traveling to Nicaragua and Hudson to Cambodia.
The Watch Hunger Stop 2023 watch, T-shirt and tote will launch Oct. 1, and will be available online and in select Michael Kors Lifestyle stores globally. The special-edition watch ($325) features a blue face with a tonal globe design, while the back is engraved with Kors’ signature and the line “10 Years and Counting” to acknowledge the brand’s commitment to continuing its partnership with WFP. The organic cotton T-shirt ($40) and recycled canvas tote ($98) feature the same blue heart graphic and the WFP logo. Kors will donate 100 meals to WFP for the sale of each T-shirt and the equivalent of 216 meals for the sale of each tote. Two hundred meals will be donated for each watch sold.
