Last week, the socialite-heavy charity New Yorkers for Children hosted its annual “Wrap 2 Rap” afternoon benefit. We weren't there but, reliably, Park Avenue Peerage was and they just posted their pictures.

It was perhaps most notable because the "what is she wearing?" line does not apply: to get down and dirty with the present-wrapping (for underprivileged kids), the young ladies who are known as fashion plates donned oversized gray athletic T-shirts with the words "Wrap 2 Rap" scrawled over the surface.

Joining celebrity host LeAnn Rimes were Arden Wohl, Zani Gugelmann, Fabiola Beracasa, Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos, Lydia Fenet and Margherita Missoni. Providing the event’s soundtrack, a D.J. played rap hits in the space while, according to the Upper-East-Side-centric blog, “the women got to see, first hand, who exactly benefits from their seasonal luncheons and balls.”
