Salma Hayek and Anna Wintour
Salma Hayek outbid Anna Wintour to bag a private coaching session with David Beckham for $350,000 at the Madonna and Gucci Malawi Benefit on Wednesday.
The actress knocked the ice queen Editor in Chief of Vogue out of the running to secure the priceless prize at the VIP charity auction.
Other winners included a Japanese businessman who bid $600,000 for four tickets to a Madonna concert and Uma Thurman's boyfriend Arky Busson who bid $60,000 for the opportunity to name a Gucci bag.
Madge's daughter, Lourdes, 11, narrowly missed out on tickets to American Idol and a batch of first-edition Harry Potter books, which sold for $95,000.
Chris Rock hosted the auction and entertained the star-studded audience with his near-the -knuckle humour: "Under your table is a Malawi kid you can take home," teased Rock
Celebrities including Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez and Drew Barrymore paid $2,500 to $10,000 each to dine on grappa-cured salmon, wild striped bass, tart of goat cheese, foraged mushrooms, truffled mashed potatoes and sticky toffee pudding with creme fraiche.
After dinner Madonna played videos of Malawi and introduced children from the southern African country before Rihanna, Timbaland and Alicia Keys performed live.
As they left guests were all given goody bags which were held in an actual Gucci bag.
