30 Rock star Katrina Bowden rocked the red carpet in a revealing white broderie anglaise mini-dress at the To The Rescue! gala of the Humane Society of the United States at Cipriani 42nd in New York on Friday.

She was among celebrities who flocked to the city's iconic Bowery building for the event that raises funds to support the work of the Animal Rescue Team, which saves animals across the country from natural disasters, cruelty and neglect.

The 25-year-old actress, who played the sexy and incompetent assistant Cerie in the NBC show, which wrapped in January, looked red hot in her white frock, which showed off her tanned and toned legs. She teamed the dress with rhinestone-encrusted high-heeled shoes and an aquamarine clutch bag.

The smiling star pulled her blonde hair back from her beautiful face, which was made up to look natural with a little shadow around her eyes and a smudge of blusher on her apple cheeks.

The gala is co-chaired by a trio of high-powered women: socialite, model and heiress to the Hearst Corp., Amanda Hearst; equestrienne Georgina Bloomberg, daughter of media entrepreneur Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York; and fashion designer Kimberly Ovitz, daughter of CAA founder and former Disney topper Michael Ovitz.

Georgina, 30, found time to organise the event even though she is expecting her first baby next month with her boyfriend, Argentinian rider Ramiro Quintana, 36.

She was joined by actress, comedian and author Ali Wentworth, who happily proved her devotion to animal welfare by kissing a pal's cute dog on the red carpet. The blonde, 48, looked striking in a pink skirt with a black blouse,
