Ashley Graham joined a host of stars and entrepreneurs in New York on Thursday night at Vanity Fair’s first ever Founders Fair conference. The dark-haired beauty showcased her hourglass curves in a figure-hugging violet number by American fashion house Cushnie et Ochs with a daring thigh-high slit and belt detailing to the waist. Embracing one of this season’s major trends, Ashley draped her black jacket over her shoulders, and opted for a pair of strappy heels to complete her look.
Her long hair was worn in a fashion-forward high ponytail and she enhanced her fabulous model features with a bronzed, make-up look. A bold flick of liquid eyeliner drew attention to her big brown eyes, her cheeks were sculpted using a tawny-hued bronzing powder and the look was completed with a swipe of matte lipstick in a muted pink shade. Adding to the eye-catching look, the 29-year-old accessorised with an oversized pair of hoop earrings.

Meanwhile, Ashley stepped out in another spring-ready look earlier in the month when she attended the Winter Bumbleland party at Coachella. Looking every inch the Grecian goddess, the model wore a statement black minidress with metallic gold draping and chose to accessorise with an on-trend choker necklace. This time, the America’s Next Top Model judge wore her hair down and a soft, shimmering eye look pulled her look together perfectly.
