PHOTOS: 11 Heavenly Looks From the Angel Ball 2016

The stars were shining in plenty of breathtaking couture on the red carpet — and it was all for a good cause. PHOTOS: Victoria's Secret Angel Sara Sampaio Glows in Golden Gown The Angel Ball 2016 took place on Monday night at New York City’s Cipriani Wall Street, where guests celebrated 20 years of funding live-saving cancer research. "The Angel Ball stands out as one of the highlights of the New York social season," wrote Gabrielle's Angel Foundation for Cancer Research in a release. "This star-studded event, known for its amazing live entertainment and celebrity participants, honors those outstanding individuals who have made significant humanitarian and philanthropic contributions in support of cancer research." "The Angel Ball boasts 900 high net-worth attendees, all leaders in the fields of business, philanthropy and society alike, at this annual celebration of life, music and our quest for a cure," they added.

Reality TV stars Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian paired up to show off their famous figures in dangerously sheer cut-out ensembles, and also to honor their late father, attorney Robert Kardashian, who passed away of esophageal cancer in 2003. Another guest who didn’t fail to impress was VS PINK model Rachel Hilbert, who proved to be a showstopper in a shimmery golden gown featuring a low-cut V-neck and a thigh-high slit. But rest assured, the blonde bombshell had plenty of experience exuding confidence, especially after her nerve-racking experience walking the runway for the 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. “I was numb when I was walking down that runway,” said Hilbert in an exclusive video interview with Fox News Magazine (see below). "I actually was screaming. It was just so much adrenaline!" You can expect to see Hilbert on the catwalk yet again when the 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Paris airs on Monday, December 5th at 10 p.m. EST, but for now, see how Hilbert (and 10 other guests) stunned audiences at the Angel Ball:
