Ashley Graham showcased her impeccable sense of style as she was joined by Uma Thurman at the 2025 Room To Grow Gala in New York City on Tuesday.
The American model, 37, cut a glamorous figure in a $4,500 (£3,500) strapless black gown from Clio Peppiatt as she posed up a storm at the event, held at the Ziegfeld Ballroom.
Her stylish floor-length number boasted a figure-hugging waist, a sparkly black embellishment, beaded motifs representing the celestial constellations, and was encrusted with glittering gold crystals.
She added inches to her frame with pointed black court heels and kept accessories minimal with diamond hoop earrings.
The star appeared in high spirits as she joined Uma, 55, on the carpet for several pictures.
Meanwhile, Uma cut a stylish figure in a dark grey cap sleeve maxi dress as she arrived at the venue.

Her ensemble boasted a square neckline, cap sleeves, and a tailored seam throughout.
She opted for adding inches to her height with pointed black heels, posing up a storm for the cameras ahead of the event.
The actress was also joined on the carpet by her close pal, American fashion designer Zac Posen, 44.
He cut a dapper figure in a dark blue blazer paired with black tailored trousers as he readjusted Uma’s dress for the cameras.
During the event, special speeches were delivered by Room To Grow Leadership, Uma and Ashley.
The Room To Grow gala is an annual fundraising event for the non-profit organisation Room To Grow, which supports families with young children through coaching, essential items, and community connections.
The gala, held in New York City, celebrates the organisation’s mission, honours supporters, and raises crucial funds to expand its services in existing communities.
Ashley’s outing comes after she put her famous curves on display in a black bra and semi-sheer lace briefs as she hit the Victoria’s Secret runway last Wednesday.

Exuding confidence, she looked ready to take flight with fuzzy black wings and a modest train trailing behind her.
The model shares three sons with her longtime husband Justin Ervin – five-year-old Isaac and three-year-old twins Roman and Malachi.
A body positivity figurehead, Ashley was not shy about showing off her postpartum figure, proudly displaying her stretch marks in social media snaps.
Ashley joined the VS family last year, when the brand made history by inviting plus-size models to take part in their show.
The Vogue cover star previously revealed that she ‘hesitated’ to join the show and flipped when they handed her ‘tiny, tiny underwear’
She shared on Instagram: ‘When @victoriassecret first reached out, I’ll be honest—I hesitated. For years, the brand didn’t feel like it was made for someone like me,’ she wrote on Wednesday.
‘Their vision of beauty seemed narrow, as if everything they created was for just one type of body—and it wasn’t mine,’ she shared alongside a collection of backstage photos. ‘But after sitting down with the leadership at VS, I saw real change.’
