Her husband may be the star, but it was Camila Alves who was shining bright as she showed her support at the Hollywood Stands Up To Cancer event on Wednesday.

The model and designer went for a glamorous look to join Matthew McConaughey at the charity bash, hosted by the Entertainment Industry Foundation and held at the Book Bindery in Los Angeles.

Camila wore a figure-hugging white maxi dress, which was backless and featured a halter-neck.

With a subtle checkered pattern and thin silver belt, this backless dress is elegant, classic and perfect for a charitable benefit. Minimalism at it's best, this highlights the beautiful curves of Camila Alves without over exposure. It's not fussy but certainly not frumpy!

When you go backless you need to keep everything else simple and clean. A sleek chignon and nude heels will really make the dress ethereal.

Finding a dress that balances both sex appeal and propriety is hard but we've tried to list some dresses similar to the one Camila found for this event.

The 33-year-old, who had celebrated her birthday the previous day, also wore a pair of taupe ankle boots with cut-out sections.

Camila wore her brunette hair slicked back in a ballerina style bun, and completed her look with smoky eye make-up and bright pink lipstick.

Meanwhile Matthew, who was showing off a bushy beard, looked very dapper for the occasion as he posed with his wife of two and a half years.

The 45-year-old wore a grey suit, blue suede shoes and matching striped tie.

The couple were there in honour of Matthew’s friend, who died from the illness.

The Oscar winner said that his late pal’s fight inspired him when he played AIDS sufferer Ron Woodroof in Dallas Buyers Club.

‘He was going through a battle with cancer and, as the cancer started eating his body away, I saw his fight coming out more ferociously, not receding,’ he told The Independent last year.

At the event, Matthew and Camila were seen chatting to one of Stand Up To Cancer’s founders, Katie Couric.

The 58-year-old journalist, who wore a black and white mixed materials frock, lost her husband Jay Monahan to colon cancer in 1998, when he was 42.

Katie then became a spokeswoman for colon cancer awareness. Her sister Emily died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 54 in 2001.

Robert Downey, Jr., a long-time supporter of the foundation, looked dapper in a classic tuxedo as he arrived with wife Susan, who wore pink.

Doing their part: Mallory Jansen (L) and Marg Helgenberger were also at the star-studded affair

It was hard to believe that the 35-year-old, who famously dated George Clooney, gave birth just five months ago.

Marg Helgenberger was also there, while James Corden was seen giggling on the red carpet with Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Tony Hale. Eva Mendes, who didn’t pose outside the event, spoke on stage inside as she honoured her brother Carlos, who is currently battling cancer.

The event raised over $16million in one evening, according to People.
