Yaz Hernandez has a special cause—and no, it’s not tick-borne disease. (Not yet, that is. We’re sending her some literature we picked up at last night’s benefit.) She’s being honored for her commitment to the Latino cultural institution El Museo del Barrio at the museum’s fundraising gala, along with designer Narciso Rodriguez and Bacardi. The guests honoring both Ms. Hernandez—and the notable rum firm—include Modern Family bombshell Sofia Vergara, ubiquitous TV star Julianna Margulies, ubiquitous something Alexandra Lebenthal and self-portraitist Cindy Sherman, who could take lessons from her much-photographed tablemates on how to keep the poses fresh!

Cipriani 42nd Street, 10 East 42nd Street, 7pm. Sold out.
