Beverly Johnson looked incredible as she attended the star-studded 2024 Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards on Thursday night.
The eighties model, 71, was as glamorous as ever in a form-fitting gold gown with sparkling sequin accents.
The sleeveless ensemble put her toned arms on display, and featured a sizzling thigh-high slit, as well as a cascading train.
The beauty paired the dress with open-toe gold heels and wore her raven tresses parted in the middle and cascading down in light waves.
The star — who was joined by Margot Robbie, Eva Longoria and Emma Stone at the event — further accessorized with two delicate silver necklaces.

Beverly – who rose to fame when she became the first black model to appear on the cover of American Vogue in 1974 – sported flawless glam for the night, with bronze eyeshadow and pink blush accentuating her naturally-stunning features.
Last year Beverly attended the gala with her financier fiancé Brian Maillian, 73.
The lovebirds have been engaged for three years.
In 2020 she said, ‘This is the first time I’ve dated someone so close to my age!’
‘We know the same songs and we’ve lived through a lot of the same things,’ added the catwalk queen who lives with her fiancé in Rancho Mirage, California.
‘Just finding the love of my life at this point in my life has been amazing,’ she told People.
She said Brian, a financier, is a trailblazer just like she was.
‘As I was breaking boundaries in the fashion industry, he was doing the same on Wall Street,’ said the beauty.

The proposal happened all of a sudden, she said, when they were in Palm Springs with family.
‘My older sister Sheilah was there and she said to Brian, “I didn’t hear you give my sister an answer when she asked you to marry her,”‘ Johnson stated.
‘And he said, “I have answered her. I have asked her to marry me. And she said, No. Besides that — I don’t have a ring.”‘
Then Brian’s mother ‘took off her wedding ring and passed it down the table till it got to Brian and he got down on one knee,’ she added.
‘I was sobbing uncontrollably and he said, “Will you marry me?” and I said yes!’
She has previously been wed to real estate agent Billy Potter and then music producer Danny Sims, with whom she has daughter Anansa.
