She's a world famous model who was discovered in the Hammersmith branch of Primark.

But Jourdan Dunn was rocking a higher class of fashion on Thursday, as she took centre stage on the amfAR catwalk to raise money for the 23rd Cinema Against AIDS Gala.

Arriving in a ruffled off-the shoulder floor-length black gown, the 25-year-old upped her game later in the evening, donning a sparkling gold mini dress to strut her stuff on the runway.

With so many supermodels all in the same place, they just had to stage a fashion show at the amfAR gala in Cannes last night. It would be rude not to, really.

The whole Studio 54-inspired shebang was curated by Carine Roitfeld, with the likes of Bella Hadid and Karlie Kloss strutting their stuff in disco-style creations. And it was Jourdan Dunn's sassy little fringe embellished number that has really given us that Friday feeling!

Don't you just want to wear this dress and dance the night away to get the full effect of the tassels? It's a custom made piece by Burberry, which was inspired by the AW16 collection and features bugle bead embellishment. Beautiful!

While her initial asymmetric ruffled black gown got full marks in the class stakes, and made the most of her enviably toned thighs with a cheeky split almost to her hip, it was her fashion show outfit that really stole the show.

With a plunging neckline which revealed plenty of cleavage, the 70s-inspired tasselled dress shone and shimmered as Jourdan sashayed her way down the catwalk, with complementary silver heels to add alternative shine to her look.

She was also able to show off her stunning slim pins and perky bust in the sexy little number, bringing some serious sass to proceedings.

Some of the biggest names in modelling gathered together for the good cause, running the catwalk at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, at Cap d'Antibes in the South of France.

Wearing metallic tones the models showed plenty of skin as they modeled clothes as part of the event's fashion auction, which was inspired by all things disco.

Stars of the night's catwalk included Barbara Palvin, Izabel Goulart and Lara Stone.

Jessica Hart, Natasha Poly, Lily Donaldson, Soo-Joo Park, Toni Garrn and Isabeli Fontana - who had perhaps the most risque outfits of all the girls - were also among the supermodels in attendance.

Dare to bare: Isabeli Fontana flashed more than a little flesh in a dress that consisted of merely strips of shimmering silver fabric were strategically placed to cover her modesty

The event involved pairing an impressive selection of the world’s top models with glittering designer gowns that have been custom made, though with a few exceptions.

Helmed by Carine Roitfeld, the editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris, the 31 looks were dubbed the Disco Collection and were up for auction at the gala.

The main inspiration behind the show was a silver disco ball, though icons and iconic locations from the 1970s era, like the legendary New York City club Studio 54, and some of its collaborators and patrons, from Jerry Hall to Diane von Furstenberg, also helped inspire the collection.
