Heidi Klum puts on a leggy display as she leads the arrivals at amfAR 2020 New York Gala in daring thigh-high slit gown
HEIDI Klum commanded attention in a daring strapless gown with thigh-high slit as she attended last night's amfAR 2020 Gala in New York.
dazzled in the 3D embellished Stephane Rolland dress, which highlighted her slender legs and nude strappy heels as she posed for photos on the grey carpet.
The , who was an event chair for the evening, complemented her billowing look with an eye-catching Lorraine Schwartz diamond necklace, rings and chic sequined spherical handbag.
The German supermodel worked her blonde locks into a sleek straight style and sported a bronzed beauty look, which accentuated her delicate features.
Heidi was joined by fellow supermodels Iman, Lais Ribeiro, 29, Devon Windsor, 25, and Nina Agdal, 27, at the star-studded charity event.
Other notable faces at the occasion included Power's La La Anthony, who stunned in a textured black sequin dress, alongside her son Kiyan.
The black-tie event coincides with the beginning of New York Fashion Week and honors individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the fight against HIV/AIDS.
This year's event honored Iman, playwright Matthew Lopez and art dealer Marc Glimcher, while Charlie Puth and Sofi Tukker performed.
Heidi's appearance comes three weeks after Heidi defended America's Got Talent amid accusations by former judge Gabrielle Union of racism on set.
Both Gabrielle and Julianne Hough left the US show after just one series with later reports alleging that both women were given several warnings about their appearance from bosses - with Gabrielle particularly scrutinised.
Now, fellow former judge Heidi has shared her own experiences, and admitted that she never saw "anything that was weird or hurtful".
She said: "I’ve only had an amazing experience. I can’t speak for [Gabrielle Union]. I didn’t experience the same thing."
Speaking at the Television Critics’ Association’s winter press tour, she added: "To me, everyone treats you with the utmost respect. I’ve never seen anything that was weird or hurtful."
Heidi was a judge on the show alongside Simon Cowell for six years, and left in 2018 along with Mel B; Gabrielle and Julianne replaced the two for one season.
After the pair left with little in the way of explanation by studio NBC, reports emerged that the two women had been subject to a "toxic culture" and "racist jokes" backstage.
Variety reported tensions rose backstage when former late-night host Jay Leno made an "offensive" gag while filming as a guest judge.
Insiders alleged that Gabrielle was accused of having hairstyles that were "too black" for the AGT audience, while Julianne suffered "consistent criticism" about her appearance which impacted morale.

While Gabrielle and Julianne's contracts were not renewed, their fellow cast members Howie Mandel, Terry Crews and Simon Cowell are all expected to return to the next series.
In early December, the involved parties took part in a sit-down meeting which Gabrielle described as “productive” in a tweet, in which she shared her “desire and hope for real change.”
NBC Entertainment chairman Paul Telegdy has claimed the results from NBC’s investigation will be available by the end of January.
