Jodie Turner Smith changes into a cut-out bra top while Ashley Graham wears a corset mini dress as the stars dance into the night at Vogue World afterparty
Supermodels, acting legends, royalty and some of the biggest names in showbusiness gathered at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane for the Vogue World Show on Thursday.
And continuing the party into the night, Jodie Turner Smith joined Ashley Graham at private members’ club George in the heart of Mayfair to celebrate at the event’s offical afterparty.
Kickstarting London Fashion Week, actress Jodie, 37, made a quick outfit change as she slipped into a cut-out bra top and long maxi skirt after putting on the most daring display of the night at the main event.
Earlier, she rocked up in a black thong, silk evening gloves and a large black satin bow covering her chest that was seen on Viktor & Rolf’s catwalk this year.
Sports Illustrated model Ashley, 35, looked incredible in a corseted mini dress with a satin A-line skirt.

It was a busy week for Princess Beatrice of York and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi as they also headed to the party where they put on a loved up display.
Billed as a ‘multi-act celebration of the British performing arts’, the glittering one-off extravaganza, kickstarted London Fashion Week.
The event – dubbed Britain’s answer to the iconic Met Gala – is the brainchild of Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour but viewers, who watched via the YouTube livestream, took to social media to admit they left baffled by the ‘bizarre’ show.
Thursday’s event served as a fundraiser for Britain’s performing arts industry, with Anna overseeing proceedings.
The first Vogue World event featured a fashion show and street fair when it took place in New York’s meatpacking district in 2021, but the London ceremony was a much grander affair.
The dress code was Opening Night, with the invitation revealing a West End stage decorated with by blood-red velvet curtains.
Masterminded by BAFTA and Olivier-winning director Stephen Daldry, show director Emily Burns, and creative producer Fran Miller, along with the Vogue team, the evening will feature a vast array of performing arts.
Wintour previously claimed the performing arts industry is ‘under threat” meaning all proceeds from ticket sales will go to a range of theatre companies – among them the National Theatre, Royal Opera House and the Royal Ballet.

And Vogue World put on a very bizarre show in the West End.
Viewers, who watched via the YouTube livestream, took to social media to admit they left baffled by the ‘bizarre’ show as it kicked off with Kate Moss, 49, doing an interpretive dance before Cara Delevingne appeared in the crowds dressed as a punk.
Supermodel Kate was first shown getting glammed-up backstage before she walked through the wings of the theatre as the show paid tribute to the theatre performers it is fundraising for.
Opera singers then appeared in the crowds while Kate was shown via a screen on stage doing a bizarre interpretive dance underneath a black sheer piece of fabric.
She wafted her arms around in the air as the fabric billowed over her before she emerged from backstage and graced the stage before the second music number.
Model Cara, 31, then emerged in the crowds sporting a colourful punk mohawk, a red striped dress and an oversized leather jacket.
She was seen cheering as she milled amongst the celebrities’ tables while FKA Twigs performed, before she jumped up on stage to join the singer.
The pair then shared a kiss before FKA was pulled away by dancers as she continued her performance, before Stormzy took to the stage for the third musical number.
The Vogue World show then came to a close with an epic performance from Annie Lennox, who belted out the Eurythmics smash hit Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).
She was joined on stage by a whole host of backing singers while models strutted their stuff around the crowds in an epic fashion extravaganza.
