Annual gala: Jaimie Alexander attended the 15th annual gala for the National Eating Disorders Association

The brunette beauty teamed up with fashion designer Christian Siriano at the 15th annual gala for the National Eating Disorders Association.

The 31-year-old former Project Runway winner was honored with the NEDA Inspires Award.

A report released in February by The Fashion Spot named Siriano as New York Fashion Week's body diversity champion with 10 of the 26 plus-size model appearances during the fashion showcase.

English model Iskra Lawrence, 26, also attended the gala in a grey sleeveless dress with a fringe skirt.

Few things are better than a lovely LBD and this one is pretty. Hailing from Christian Siriano's Pre-Fall '17 collection, Jaimie Alexander looks positively glowing in this monochrome, floral number.

This dress was briefly available online at Moda Operandi but hasn't officially dropped yet. Not to worry, there are plenty of black and white dresses to shop right now. Love the embroidery on Jamie's dress? You'll find a whole host of floral fancies over at Self-Portrait, arguably THE brand of the year and home to fabulous, mid-market occasion wear. This monochrome number is on sale at Selfridges so get it quickly before it goes.

Elsewhere, we just LOVE Jigsaw's Lou mixed-silk dress. This shape is super flattering with its deep V and flute-style hem. Wear this summer with mid-heel slingbacks and statement earrings for a modern take on summer evening dressing. The great thing about this dress is that you can wear it all year round. Come winter simply team with black opaque tights and patent courts, et voila, party-season perfect.
