Lily Aldridge flashes flesh in gold velvet dress with asymmetric rear sash at World Of Children Hero Awards

She’s no stranger to showing a bit of skin.

So perhaps it was no surprise Lily Aldridge looked completely comfortable in her backless number at the World of Children Hero Awards

The sleeveless garment conformed to her svelte frame and fell all the way to her ankles.

Instead, some very delicate straps crisscrossed her naked back, while a gold sash was draped over her right shoulder.

Some black strappy stilettos and some elegant turquoise earrings finished off the head-turning look.

Her dark raven tresses were parted in the middle and were pulled tightly back into a compact bun.

Of course her make-up was exquisite, and featured light blush and peach lipstick.

Bevy of beauties: The good times continued as she posed for a snap with Alyssa Milano, 44, and Brooke Burke, 45

She seemed to truly enjoy the freedom her dress afforded her, and apparently couldn’t help but raise her hands in celebration.

The good times continued as she posed for a snap with fellow beauties Alyssa Milano, 44, and Brooke Burke, 45.

All seemed to be in a good mood, and why not, as the World of Children Hero Awards were set to honor a number of individuals whose work directly improved the lives of kids around the world.
