Aubrey Plaza sizzles in very sheer gown at Joan Rivers gala benefiting late comic’s favorite charity

Aubrey Plaza sizzled on the red carpet of the Dead Funny: An All-Star Tribute To Joan Rivers gala in New York City on Thursday.

The party was hosted at the legendary Apollo’s Historic Theater in Harlem and benefited Joan’s favorite charity God’s Love We Deliver, which she worked tirelessly for during the last decades of her life.

Aubrey, who was friends with the late comedy icon, brought a touch of showbiz dazzle to the proceedings in a sparkling sheer dress.

The 40-year-old White Lotus actress showed off her sensational figure in the daring ensemble with lace accents.

The Parks And Recreation alum wore her luxuriously wavy hair and accentuated her glowing complexion with makeup.

Joan was associated with God’s Love We Deliver from its early days in 1980s New York, when the charity brought meals to people dying of AIDS.

She was one of the first stars to support AIDS research as a cause, before it became famously associated with Elizabeth Taylor.

As the years passed, God’s Love We Deliver expanded its scope beyond HIV/AIDS and now provided meals to thousands of people confined to their homes by illness.

Joan personally spent part of each Thanksgiving delivering food to the sick for charity, as seen in the 2010 documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece Of Work.

She died just over a decade ago, on September 4, 2014, after complications from a routine endoscopy.

There were many names in attendance at the gala, including former Real Housewives Of New York City star Luann De Lesseps, who showed off her abs in a flesh-colored PVC cocktail dress.

Luann enjoyed a warm moment with influencer Randy Rainbow, who has become known in recent years for comedic songs with a left-wing political slant.

A number of famous comedians were present on the red carpet, where Tiffany Haddish mingled with Nikki Glaser.
