Red hot: Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber 's trans daughter Kai matched red lipstick with a red t-shirt in New York City this week
This year's gala celebrated the resilience of LGBTQ + youth and honored individuals and organizations working to build a more inclusive, supportive future.
The Ali Forney Center provides housing and support for homeless LGBTQ youth and serves more than 2,200 young people through its 24/7 Drop-In Center and network of 13 emergency and transitional housing sites, per Variety.
Schreiber said: 'This isn't just about representing the trans community.
'This is actually a community of people who don't have great resources, who don't have access to help, who aren't being protected and looked after by their families.
'These are people who are being rejected. These are people who are experiencing the harshest version of humanity that we can offer, and some of them are not surviving it.
'We got to bear that in mind when we go out there and glam ourselves up and get ready to be seen, you know?'
Schreiber continued: 'That what we're doing is actually raising money for a community that desperately needs it.'
The proud shared that Kai is embracing her space in the trans community like never before.
He added: 'Kai is such a fighter. It's important that she goes, "Hey, I am trans," and, "Look at me".'
Schreiber opened up about the moment Kai came out to him last week.
Speaking to Variety the actor said: 'Kai was always who Kai is. But I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns.
'To be honest with you, it didn't feel like that big of a deal to me only because Kai had been so feminine for so long.'
In regards to advice he has for parents whose children come out as trans, Schreiber said: 'I don't know the answer for your kid.'
He further explained that he felt it was 'an overstep' for him to do so due to every circumstance being unique and different.
The actor did briefly talk about raising teenagers in general and said: 'I guess if I would say anything to someone who's having trouble with their trans teen or their adolescent trans kid it's teenagers are a f***ing headache. They're hard.
'It doesn't matter whether they're trans or not because you'll come out of this. But a trans teen is going to be a teen.'
The star continued: 'They're such a pain in the a** so much of the time, and Kai is as feisty and outspoken as they come.'
In March, Kai made her runway debut in the Valentino show at Paris Fashion Week, leading to cries that she was a nepo baby, which didn't sit well with her father.
While talking to TMZ in March, the actor said: 'I don't have many thoughts for the haters. What if you were a professional actor and your child decided they wanted to do something in this world?
'Do they have a choice? It doesn't matter. That's her life and she does what she wants with her life.'
The father-of-three added; 'I'm super proud of her and I thought she did an amazing job with the show.'

Tony Awards 2025 winners: Succession's Sarah Snook kicks off the night as she scores Best Actress award for her Broadway debut
The star-studded 78th Annual Tony Awards were held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday. The show celebrated Broadway's brightest talents in singing, acting, dancing and more. Sarah Snook, 37, was the first winner of the night for Best Leading Actress in a Play. Snook delivered an unbelievable performance in The Picture of Dorian Gray, playing all 26 characters. The Succession star made her Broadway debut in the ambitious stage adaptation of Oscar Wilde's novel. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure stars Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter presented her with the award. 'Thank you so much for this. This means so much for a little Australian girl to be here on Broadway,' Sarah told the crowd as she accepted the award. 'Thank you to my incredible team... and just everybody on stage. It is billed as a one person show and I don't feel alone any night that I do this show.' 'There are so many people on the stage making it work and so many people behind the stage making it work.' She also thanked her husband Dave Lawson: 'And an exceptional thank you, the biggest thank you I can ever give to my husband, my soulsmate, you are so brilliant holding family together and looking after the phones.' The most prestigious ceremony honoring theatre is hosted by three-time Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo, who kicked off the show with a thrilling performance featuring Oprah. This year features major star power in the lead actor and actress categories. George Clooney is competing for his massively successful play Good Night, And Good Luck — an adaptation of the film of the same name that he directed, co-wrote and costarred in — for the lead actor in a play category, while acting legend Mia Farrow is competing against Succession star Sarah Snook and Stranger Things star Sadie Sink in the lead actress in a play category. Darren Criss and Jonathan Groff are adding some star power to the lead actor in a musical category, while Megan Hilty, Nicole Scherzinger and Broadway legend Audra McDonald are some of the biggest names in the lead actress in a musical category. Bob Odenkirk is best known for his film and television work, including his acclaimed run on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but he's now nominated in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play category for his turn in the revival of David Mamet's iconic drama of desperation, Glengarry Glen Ross. Presenters this year include Charli D'Amelio, Michelle Williams, Hacks' Jean Smart, LaTanya Richardson Jackson and Lea Salonga, all of whom are currently appearing on Broadway. The stage icon Kristin Chenoweth will also be presenting, while Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter will have a Bill and Ted reunion on stage ahead of their upcoming production of Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot. Glee star Lea Michele will also be joined on stage by Aaron Tveit. Several former Tony winners will be helping to announce awards, including Oprah Winfrey, Bryan Cranston, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Sarah Paulson, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Kelli O'Hara and Rachel Bay Jones. And the other presenters aren't exactly slouches, as several of them have Oscars and Grammy Awards to their names. They include Ben Stiller, Samuel L. Jackson, Katie Holmes, Jesse Eisenberg, Allison Janney, Ariana DeBose, Adam Lambert, Carrie Preston, Danielle Brooks and Sara Bareilles. Going into the 2025 ceremony, three musicals are leading the pack with 10 nominations each: Buena Vista Social Club, Death Becomes Her and Maybe Happy. Buena Vista Social Club is inspired by the beloved Cuban ensemble of the same name, which recorded a hit eponymous album in 1997 and was documented in Wim Wenders' acclaimed documentary (also of the same name) in 1999. Death Becomes Her is based on the Robert Zemeckis fantastical black comedy from 1992, which starred Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis. Unlike those musicals, which are adapted from existing music and films, Maybe Happy is a science fiction–romance that originated in South Korea. It follows two android helper-bots who develop feelings for each other, despite the fact that their short life spans threaten any future plans. Dead Outlaw, John Proctor Is The Villain, Sunset Blvd. and The Hills Of California are all tied for seven Tony nominations, while Floyd Collins, Justin In Time, Purpose and The Picture Of Dorian Gray are tied for six. Dead Outlaw and Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical are also competing in the Best Musical category, while English, The Hills Of California, John Proctor Is The Villain, Oh, Mary! and Purpose are vying for Best Play. Purpose and English have already been honored with Pulitzer Prizes. This year's nominated revivals include Eureka Day, Romeo + Juliet, Thornton Wilder's Our Town and David Henry Hwang's Yellow Face in the play category, while Floyd Collins, Gypsy, Pirates! The Penzanze Musical and Sunset Blvd. fill out the Best Revival of a Musical category. The performances this year will highlight all of the new and revived musical nominees, as well as Just In Time and Real Women Have Curves, which weren't nominated in best musical or revival but did receive other major nominations. The 2025 Tonys will look to the past as well with a tribute to Hamilton for its 10th anniversary as the original cast reunites for a performance. Miranda will be accompanied by Leslie Odom Jr., Phillipa Soo, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Daveed Diggs, Ariana DeBose, Jonathan Groff and Christopher Jackson, all of whom were part of the original production. Erivo, 38, was better known for her work in the theatre before expanding into a successful film and television career. The Wicked Star — who recently stirred up controversy when she was announced as the star of a production of Jesus Christ Superstar being held at the Hollywood Bowl in August — is already three-quarters of the way toward completing the rare and coveted EGOT after winning an Emmy, a Grammy and a Tony. Along the way, she also received nominations for four Golden Globe Awards, two British Academy Film Awards and two Screen Actors Guild Awards. She previously starred on Broadway in the popular adaptation of The Color Purple, which led to her performing its song I'm Here at the 2016 Tonys. The three-hour show, which starts at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT, can be watched live on CBS or streamed on Paramount+ with Showtime. Users with the Paramount+ Essential subscription will have the option to begin watching the show on the following day.

Katie Holmes channels Wicked as she leads worst dressed list at the 2025 Tony Awards
From over-the-top feathers and nearly naked looks to bright colors and clashing patterns, the 2025 Tony Awards has been filled with a slew of sartorial nightmares and fashion faux pas. The event, which is being hosted by Wicked star Cynthia Erivo, is set to honor the biggest stars and shows on Broadway. It will feature a slew of dazzling performances from some of the hottest shows of the year - as well as an emotional reunion from the original Hamilton cast in honor of the 10th anniversary. Ahead of the ceremony, a slew of A-listers descended upon the red carpet at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. And while some wowed in glamorous dresses and stunning looks... others completely missed the mark with their ensembles. That's right, many of Hollywood's most elite failed to impress with their bizarre outfit choices at the glittering soiree. Katie Holmes lead worst dressed list as she hit the carpet in a boxy green T-shirt and an awkward pink skirt, a little underdressed for a lavish awards show if you ask us. She seemingly channeled the movie Wicked with her color choice - but the bright green and pink completely clashed. Buena Vista Social Club's Natalie Venetia Belcon chose a black gown with a purple cape-like coat that had dramatic black feathers hanging off of it Singer Jordan Tyson wore a turquoise dress with an extremely low neckline and what looked like confetti hanging off of it. Was she at the Tony Awards or a New Year's Eve party? Wicked star Cynthia came in a close second with her enormous tan corset top, which contained an intricate floral pattern. She paired the shirt - which was gigantic and fit awkwardly on her frame - with a floor-length silk skirt. Buena Vista Social Club's Natalie Venetia Belcon chose a black gown with a purple cape-like coat that had dramatic black feathers hanging off of it. Sarah Paulson opted for a very distinct black and white dress that had a very strange shape... and it just didn't work. Singer Laufey, on the other hand, arrived in a soft blue tiered dress with a necktie, lacy stockings, purple heels, and a matching coat. She accessorized with a bizarre cat-shaped purse - talk about a lot going on. Just in Time star Gracie Lawrence hit the carpet in a polka dot strapless dress that had a huge bowtie around the skirt area, while Death Becomes Her's Megan Hilty donned a gold frock that contained bizarre feathers all over the sleeves and skirt. Canadian TV personality Keltie Knight ensured all eyes would be on her - but for the wrong reasons. British actor David Cumming donned a black suit with a huge spider broach, as well as an eye-popping floral coat and lacy undershirt Floyd Collins star Taylor Trensch wore a tuxedo on top... but shorts on the bottom and it looked a little odd if you ask us She opted for a floor-length sparkly gown that had an enormous unicorn on it. Singer Jordan Tyson wore a turquoise dress with an extremely low neckline and what looked like confetti hanging off of it... and it appeared to be more fit for a New Year's Eve party than the Tony Awards. Hamilton star Phillipa Soo's one-shouldered white frock contained a strange bow in the center of her chest area and an unflattering tiered skirt. Model Anna Alimani arrived at the event in a sheer, lacy number, which left her undergarments on full display. Hamilton actor Sydney James Harcourt walked the carpet in a dazzling, leopard print suit with a sheer patterned top underneath - and he had a little too much going on. Glee alum Darren Criss also made the list thanks to his plaid suit, while his wife Mia Swier flaunted her bra on the red carpet... donning a sheer black top and sparkly skirt.
