Holly Robinson Peete is one of the busiest women in Hollywood. She's an actress, mother, wife, and co-head of the HollyRod Foundation which is dedicated to providing care to those living with Autism and Parkinson's disease.
Over the weekend, the foundation had its 18th annual DesignCare Gala and it was a star-studded event. Laila Ali, Garcelle Beauvais, Chris Paul, and Arsenio Hall were just a few to grace the gala and everyone was in full glam.
To say that Holly was also looking amazing would be a glaring understatement. The mother of four was channeling her inner Diana in a plunging neckline, floor-length gown with oversized sleeves and an elaborate updo that had all eyes on her.
Like the front? Oh, well you gotta check out the back because she was sexy coming and going and the plunging neckline matched the plunging back. We loved how the dress hugged all the right places on the curvaceous Holly.
Mother of four has a body like no other sharing those pics on the 'Gram made us all want to hit the gym. Holly was right to use #iwaschannelingmyinnerDianaRoss hashtag because diva status was all she was that night.
You did that Holly!

Inspired by a father and a son, HollyRod Foundation was formed
in 1997 by actress, Holly Robinson Peete and her husband former NFL
quarterback, Rodney Peete. The HollyRod Foundation is dedicated to providing
help and hope to those living with autism and Parkinson’s disease.
Holly and her Dad
In honor of Holly’s father, Matthew T. Robinson Jr., HollyRod
partnered with the Center for Parkinson’s Research and Movement Disorders at
the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California to
establish The HollyRod Compassionate Care Program with the mission to improve
the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s. The program provides patient
services including physician consultations, physical therapy, counseling
services and ambulation aids to those who have little or no healthcare
insurance and limited financial resources.
After Holly and Rodney’s
eldest son, RJ, was diagnosed with autism, HollyRod’s mission expanded to
provide support and resources to families also affected by an autism diagnosis.
Like Parkinson’s, autism can decimate families physically, emotionally and most
of all financially.
Holly and her son
In October 2012, after years
of planning and strategizing, HRF awarded its inaugural grant to develop and
launch the HollyRod Autism Compassionate Care Center, a unique constellation of
autism resources, services, and one-one-one support, all with a family-centered
focus at California State University, Northridge.
