Sharon Stone Hosts Red Dress Collection Concert to Kick Off American Heart Month

Academy Award-nominated actress Sharon Stone headlined the American Heart Association’s Red Dress Collection Concert, marking the beginning of American Heart Month. The event, held at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, featured musical performances, personal stories, and a runway showcase to draw attention to cardiovascular disease’s impact on women.

Stone, a stroke survivor, opened the evening by sharing her family’s history with heart disease. She introduced musical performances by Suki Waterhouse and Grammy Award-winning artist Sara Bareilles, who performed a series of hit songs including ‘Love Song’ and ‘Brave’.

The concert featured a diverse lineup of celebrities walking the runway, including Miss America 2025 Abbie Stockard, actress Abigail Spencer, and country star Carly Pearce. Each participant wore designer red ensembles, continuing the event’s iconic fashion tradition.

According to the American Heart Association’s 2025 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Update, cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death in the United States, surpassing cancer and accidental deaths combined. The Go Red for Women movement aims to increase awareness and encourage women to understand and reduce their personal heart disease risk.

During the event, American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown presented the Woman Changing the World award to philanthropist Sarah ‘Sally’ Ross Soter, recognizing her decades-long commitment to funding women’s health initiatives and research.

The Red Dress Collection Concert serves as a powerful platform to highlight the critical importance of women’s heart health, drawing attention to a disease that claims the lives of 1 in 3 women globally.
