Ashley Graham partied in a figure-hugging lime green mini-dress at a supperclub to celebrate her JC Penney collection.
The model, 37, stepped out in New York City for the JCPenney x Ashley Graham event at Drai’s Supper Club Lounge on Tuesday.
She looked sensational for the evening in a green mini-dress, featuring a roll neckline and ribbed fabric.
Ashley paired the dress with lace and leopard print sheer stiletto heels, accessorising with an array of silver diamond jewellery.
In April JCPenney announced it had tapped Ashley to create an exclusive namesake collection for the full-figured woman.
The line is launching this autumn and will ‘reflect Graham’s signature bold and confident style,’ the company shared.

‘This is something I’ve dreamed about for a long time,’ said Ashley in April.
‘JCPenney was a true champion for me right from the very beginning, giving me one of my very first opportunities as a model. Now, to see JCPenney boldly embracing their role as a fashion leader for all body types feels incredibly powerful and inspiring.
‘This isn’t just a partnership – it’s the culmination of our shared history and a meaningful step forward in making real, affordable fashion truly inclusive.’
She does not like to be labelled as a ‘plus-size’ model and says she hates constantly having to talk about her body.
Speaking to WSJ Magazine, Ashley detailed how frustrating it is constantly answering questions about her figure, and pointed out that she doesn’t know ‘any man that has to do that.’
Earlier this month, Ashley wowed in a curve-clinging body print dress as she attended the Michael Rubin REFORM Alliance Casino Night event at the Ocean Casino and Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
However, it was unclear which parts of her physique Ashley was showing off due to the clinging fabric and design that fit with her shape
The dress contained quite the sexy design, with silhouettes of a belly button, cleavage, and other intimate area painted onto the front.

The alarming print also seemed to suggest that star had gone without underwear.
The single-shouldered dress fell just above her ankles and was tied at the side of the waist.
Her long, dark locks was also giving mermaid vibes as they cascade down in loose, semi-wet waves.
Ashley – who was recently in London – wore camera-ready natural looking makeup with a soft pink lip and kept her accessories simple, opting for diamond hoop earrings. She completed the look with a pair of strappy black high heel sandals.
Ashley’s plus one for the evening was her husband, Justin Ervin, 36, who looked dapper in a black tuxedo with a button down shirt and tie.
He accessorised with what appeared to be an antique brooch on his lapel.
It comes months after Brooke Shields gave advice to Ashley ahead of her Broadway debut in Chicago.
Ashley’s casting was announced in March, when the model revealed that she was thrilled to be taking on a ‘new challenge’ in her career. Meanwhile Brooke played Roxie Hart in the long-running musical.
During an appearance on CBS Mornings, Ashley said: ‘Brooke Shields has been a beacon of light.
‘This is something I’ve dreamed about for a long time,’ said Ashley in April
‘This isn’t just a partnership – it’s the culmination of our shared history and a meaningful step forward in making real, affordable fashion truly inclusive,’ she added

‘She has texted me paragraphs and photos and has been so kind and sweet.’
The model actually ran into Brooke in the bathroom shortly before she auditioned for Chicago.
Ashley said: ‘[I] was like, “This is a godsend, for sure.”‘
The runway star – who previously appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue – subsequently shared some of Brooke’s advice.
She explained: ‘She just said, “Be yourself.” And I was like, “What does that mean?” But that’s what I did, I just was myself in the audition because Roxie really is in all of us.
‘She’s the go-getter, she wants to make it to the top, and she’ll do anything to get there.’
