RED CARPET ROYALTY: ASHLEY GRAHAM AND JUSTIN ERVIN LIGHT UP THE CASINO NIGHT IN ATLANTIC CITY

The stars came out in full force at the Michael Rubin REFORM Alliance Casino Night Event in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Ashley Graham and her husband Justin Ervin stole the spotlight with their sizzling red carpet appearance. The 37-year-old model and body positivity advocate turned heads in a stunning turquoise one-shoulder gown that showcased every curve of her famous physique.

Graham, who has been a cover girl for Vogue and has walked the runway for top designers, proved she's still got it by rocking the bold look with confidence and ease. Her long, dark locks cascaded down her front in a wet look style, while her natural makeup and soft pink lip added to the overall effortless vibe.

The side ruching and wave pattern on the material of  Graham's turquoise one shoulder gown gave mermaid vibes. The runway veteran leaned into the idea, having her long, dark locks styled in a wet look

But what really made the dress pop was its clever design, which featured side ruching and a wave pattern that gave off mermaid-inspired vibes. And Graham leaned into it big time, making sure every detail of the outfit was Instagram-worthy.

Her plus one for the evening, Justin Ervin, 36, looked dapper in his black tuxedo with button-down shirt and tie. He accessorized with what appeared to be an antique brooch on his lapel, adding a touch of old-school glamour to his overall look.

The couple was seen chatting with some A-listers, including Tiffany Haddish and Emma Roberts, who both turned up the heat in their own eye-catching outfits. Haddish, 45, wore a flowing white halter dress that hugged her curves in all the right places, while Roberts, 34, rocked a ruched black gown with a tuxedo jacket that made her look like a million bucks.

But what really got our attention was when Roberts shared a quick video clip of her dancing to The Weeknd's performance with none other than Ice Spice. Talk about turning up the heat!

The event, which raised money for justice reform, was a huge success according to host Michael Rubin's Instagram post thanking those who attended. "What a night!! Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s #ReformCasinoNight at @theoceanac," he wrote. "Together, for the second time we raised over $20 Million to fuel Reform’s mission to transform probation and parole—and forge real pathways to work, wellbeing, and success."

Rubin went on to share some of the organization's successes, including passing 22 bipartisan laws across 12 states that have created opportunities for nearly 850,000 individuals to exit supervision and rebuild their lives. But he warned that there is still more work to be done, with over 4 million Americans currently on probation or parole.

The couple were seen chatting with Tiffany Haddish and Emma Roberts.

Other attendees included Jamie Foxx, Kevin Hart, Machine Gun Kelly, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner, who all came out to support the cause. With its A-list turnout and high-stakes fundraising goal, this was definitely one event that lived up to the hype!
