Crawford, 57, stepped out in a purple gown that hugged her 5ft9in figure, and helped showcase her long legs with a slit up the left side.
Before heading out to the event Crawford announced the designer of her purple number by spelling it out three times on Instagram: ‘Versace Versace Versace.’
In the video, the longtime covergirl did a mock catwalk through the hallway of the residence they are staying at while in New York City.
The legendary catwalk queen — who helped put the ‘super’ in the ‘supermodel’ term in the 1980s and 90s — would also get a lift in a pair of silver heels, all while holding on to a matching clutch purse.
Rounding out her ensemble, the Illinois native had her brown tresses styled long and flowing well past her shoulder with a part on the left.
Gerber, 61, held his own in the fashion department in a classic black suit and tie that he matched with a white dress shirt and black dress shoes.
The loved up couple, who just celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this past May, packed on the PDA with a number of loving touches while on the red carpet.
