Thrown at the legendary Apollo’s Historic Theater in Harlem, the fete was thrown to benefit Joan’s favorite charity God’s Love We Deliver, which she worked tirelessly for during the last decades of her life.

Aubrey, who was friendly with the late comedy icon, brought a splash of showbiz dazzle to the proceedings in a sparkling see-through gown.

Wearing her luxuriously wavy hair down, the Parks And Recreation alumna accentuated her luminous complexion with makeup.

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

She was one of the earliest stars to throw her weight behind AIDS research as a cause, before it became famously ᴀssociated with Elizabeth Taylor. 

As the years went on, God’s Love We Deliver expanded its remit beyond HIV/AIDS and now provided meals to thousands of people who are homebound from illness. 

Joan spent part of every Thanksgiving personally delivering food to the sick for the 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 suffering complications from a routine endoscopy. 

Names galore attended the gala, including former Real Housewives Of New York City star Luann De Lesseps, flashing her abs in a flesh-flashing PVC cocktail dress.

Luann enjoyed a warm moment with influencer Randy Rainbow, who in recent years has become known for comedy songs with a left-leaning political bent. 

A number of famous comedians made their presence felt on the red carpet, where Tiffany Haddish could be glimpsed mingling with Nikki Glaser.
