Gala of the Stars — the marquee fundraiser put on by Dancers Against Cancer — has reeled in two big ones for its upcoming event.

Janet Jackson will receive an icon award presented to her by none other than Liza Minnelli . The outing will mark Minnelli’s first major public appearance since the Academy Awards in 2022, not counting her surprise turn as a special guest at a taping for the season finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race earlier this year.

The gala will take place at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Oct. 21. The icon honor is being presented to Jackson for her “unmatched influence on music, dance and culture, as well as her continued advocacy for compassion, empowerment and artistic excellence,” per the organization.
