Aoki Lee Simmons made a splash on the red carpet as she was joined by her mother and sister for the 25th Anniversary Smile Train Gala on Wednesday evening.
The rising model and her family arrived at Cipriani 42nd Street to show their support for Smile Train, a nonprofit organization that works to provide surgeries to repair cleft lips and palates, while also training local doctors across the globe to perform the surgeries. Although she had been rocking gorgeous voluminous curls in recent days, Aoki opted for a reserved look by tying her hair back tightly while parting it down the middle, which highlighted her tastefully made-up face.The magazine star was joined by her mother Kimora, who shares Aoki and Ming with her ex-husband Russell Simmons, whom she divorced in 2009.
Ming was the spitting image of her mother, and she stunned in a sleek black dress that hugged her curves. Cleft palates occur when the roof of the mouth opens up into the nose, while individuals with a cleft lip have an opening on their upper lip that reaches into the nose. The conditions can occur in conjunction or separately, and they can be life threatening.
Kimora, who is a Smile Train Ambassador, was honored at the organizations 25th anniversary gala with the Goodwill Ambassador Award, so it was fitting that her daughters would join in the festivities to honor her. A source told Page Six of the pair's romance: 'It's 100 percent done. They're absolutely not dating.'The insider, who is close to Aoki, stated that she said on Monday: '"Of course, I'm not with him. I was never with him."'
Earlier in April, Aoki and Vittorio were spotted spending time on a beach together and at one point, shared a kiss on the sandy shore. The former husband of Aoki's mother, model and designer Kimora Lee Simmons, added: 'All I can do is offer my advice and unconditional love.'Russell and Kimora were wed from 1998 until 2009. Aoki is Kimora's youngest daughter she shares with her first husband. She also shares daughter Ming, 24, with Russell.
It is not known how long she and the restauranteur have been romantically involved, but a source close to the model revealed to People that the pair had met while vacationing in St. Barts.
