Andie MacDowell looks effortlessly chic in a peach one-shoulder maxi dress as she attends Whitney Gala in New York
The American actress, 67, donned a peach maxi dress, featuring a ruched one-shoulder detailing and a floaty silhouette.
She added inches to her height with nude court heels and toted her essentials in a metallic silver mini handbag.
To complete her look, Andie let her grey curls cascade freely over her shoulders and opted for a naturally radiant makeup look.
The Whitney Gala is an annual fundraising event held by The Whitney Museum of American Art. It's a star-studded affair that raises money to support the museum's exhibitions, collections, and education programs.

It comes after Andie revealed how she stays in great shape as she stunned in a silk silver dress at Cannes Film Festival in France last week.
'I love to exercise, I go to yoga and I walk a lot,' she noted as she went braless in the silky negligee.
She continued: 'Everyone talks about ageing arms and I can be hard on myself about my arms because they're not perfect any more, but they're actually not that bad.
'I try to go without sleeves and not cover up too much. They're not bad!'
The Hollywood star also insisted she won't 'cover up too much', adding: 'When you age, your skin changes, and the way your skin looks changes.
'I tell myself, in ten years time you're going to say those arms were fabulous. Remember what you thought about your legs and all that time that you wasted?
'So, for me now, I show my arms because I do work out a lot, and they look pretty good.'
The actress, who has previously modelled for brands like Calvin Klein, told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: 'I think it's important not to look in the mirror too much.
'Your substance and your beauty comes from the inside, so I do my skincare and a little make-up before I leave the house, and then I don't think about it. Just enjoy your life and let the beauty radiate from the inside.'
Andie now wishes she were more lenient on herself during her younger years.
When asked if she would do anything differently, the movie star explained: 'I would tell my younger self not to worry about what people think.
She added: 'To trust myself and feel good about my body.'
Andie also admitted there was a part of her body she did not like: 'Oh my God. My legs were so great and I didn't like them because they were athletic,' said the St Elmo's Fire star.'
The star previously claimed that she feels 'too old' to conform to Hollywood's beauty standards.
She has enjoyed a successful career in the movie business, but Andie feels female stars continue to face unhealthy pressures.
She told People: 'I did a fitting and the dress was really tight around my waist. It looks so good, but I woke up and I just knew it was not the right thing for me to do.
'I wanted to wear something that was comfortable. And, of course, immediately, I shamed myself for not being able to fit into this dress. But that's Hollywood.'

Love Island USA star Cierra Ortega makes a shock exit from the villa following offscreen racism scandal
Love Island USA 's Cierra Ortega was removed from season seven for past derogatory social media posts. Just weeks after another cast member sparked backlash for past racial slurs and was booted off of the show, she was fired when fans uncovered another offscreen racism scandal. On Sunday's episode, which aired on Peacock, narrator Iain Stirling confirmed that Ortega 'left the villa due to a personal situation' and had left Nic Vansteenberghe 'officially single.' A following scene showed him talking to Ace Green and saying he wasn't sure what he would do next — which comes just one week before the season is set to conclude. While she was filming in Fiji, sequestered from social media, a racist post from her Instagram was uncovered by Love Island fans. This comes just weeks after Yulissa Escobar departed from season seven after being introduced as an OG islander. By the beginning of the second episode, she was gone with Iain Stirling simply saying in the introduction that she had 'left the villa.' The 27-year-old real estate professional from Miami had been booted in just the third day after videos surfaced of her using the N-word in a podcast. After the swift removal of Escobar, many fans had been anticipating the same will happen with Ortega, a 25-year-old content creator from Phoenix, who arrived on Day 2. Past Instagram posts have surfaced of her using a racial slur towards Chinese people in two separate instances many years apart. One post from January 2015 showed a snap of her at the top of a mountain, using a version of the slur to describe how she smiles. There was also an Instagram story post from February 2023, showing her getting Botox treatments, again using the slur to describe her smile, and many fans are furious, calling for her immediate removal. One post from January 2015 showed a snap of her at the top of a mountain, using a version of the slur to describe how she smiles. While it remains to be seen if the show's producers will remove her like they removed Escobar, Ortega has already taken a bit hit in regards to her Instagram followers. She has lost over 200K followers in the past 48 hours after the posts first re-surfaced. Ortega was poised to potentially cross the 1 million follower mark at some point during Love Island Season 7, but her follower tally now stands at 709K. While she's currently coupled up with Nic Vansteenberghe as filming continues in Fiji, many are calling for her removal on social media. A new petition calling for her removal was started days ago, when the Instagram posts first surfaced, which currently has 6,670 verified signatures. One fan - @deannacortes - shared the petition link on X, adding, 'Send Cierra Ortega home,' with the hashtags #racist #LoveIslandUSA #stopasianhate. Another X user - @ShaneAnime1990 - insisted, 'Cierra Ortega used a racist word now we have to cancel her if she did it once she'll do it again.' Cass Rabbit (@cassrabbit) tagged both @LoveIslandUSA and @Peacock in her tweet, which read, 'Get Cierra Ortega off your show. This is now the third time I'm seeing she used the slur for asians. Y'all rightfully kicked off Yulissa for saying the n word, what about Cierra? Or does racism against asians not matter to you guys?' Another X user - @h0td1lfj0hnny - asked, 'Why has cierra not been dropped from the villa,,,, she's f***ing racist using slurs.

Mai (@mainpopvirgo) said, 'yulissa said a racial slur (the literal nword) and was kicked out of the show (as she should) bc of the rightful outrage how is this different to cierra saying another racial slur she cannot claim' The user added, 'Yall got yulissa up out of there quick but not cierra ??? @loveislandusa #loveislandusa Cierra not been dropped from the f---ing racist using slurs.' X user @SSTARZZNE added, 'cierra better be at the BOTTOM of that vote after her racist a** got exposed #LoveIslandUSA.' Mai (@mainpopvirgo) said, 'yulissa said a racial slur (the literal nword) and was kicked out of the show (as she should) bc of the rightful outrage how is this different to cierra saying another racial slur she cannot claim.' Ortega has not yet addressed the controversy personally via her verified Instagram page.

Woman bursts into tears over neighbor's letter after painting her house bright purple
A Michigan couple who transformed their home into a vibrant purple cottage were left speechless when an anonymous neighbor sent them a handwritten note. Maureen Clemons, 35, and her husband, 36-year-old Mike Peck, began painting their three-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow in the vibrant city of Royal Oak during the COVID pandemic. 'We wanted something to distract ourselves and make us happy,' Clemons told Newsweek. Over the course of a week, the couple committed to their final design choice - unique lavender purple paint, replacing the home's former blue-green exterior. 'We picked purple because it felt bright and joyful,' Clemons added. 'We were going for a cute cottage vibe.' With such a one-of-a-kind home, attention was inevitable - often arriving as spontaneous compliments from those passing by. 'A couple biking by started chanting, "Go purple! Go lavender!"' Clemons said. 'Someone even stopped to tell us how happy the color made her - it brightened her day,' she added. But the most unforgettable reaction came when the couple opened their door to find an unexpected note and a nostalgic gift from a neighbor known only as 'Chris' - a worn copy of the nostalgic children's book Mr. Pine's Purple House. The fictional book by Leonard Kessler is about a man on Vine Street determined to make his house stand out from the 49 others lining the block. The note read: 'Hi, a while ago I was walking by your house when you were painting. 'It reminded me of one of my favorite books from childhood, that celebrates individuality. 'I could not remember the exact name, but after some searching I was able to find it. I hope you enjoy the story,' it continued. 'Hopefully you won't mind that it's well read. 'Happy Holidays. Your neighbor, Chris.' 'We were overwhelmed,' Clemons told Newsweek but added: 'We never figured out who Chris was.' Clemons recently shared the heartfelt story in TikTok video writing: 'We painted our house purple and our neighbor left us this book and note. Sometimes humans are so cute!!' She shared photos of the house, book, note and tattoo and wrote in the on-screen text: 'I cried.' It has now racked up over two million views. And Clemons has gone one step further to cement her love for her purple home - she has gotten a tattoo of it. The tattoo - inked by an artist who, unbeknownst to her, had previously snapped a photo of the home - features nothing but the cozy purple cottage itself. It lovingly captures the three bushes lining the home, a heart on the door and siding, the deck framed by small black railings - just like the real thing - and a puff of smoke shaped like a heart rising from the chimney, all etched forever onto her arm. To complete the artwork, the words 'I want to go home' are inscribed just beneath the house. 'I just got a tattoo to remember the house and moment,' she added, accompanied with a smiley-face emoji. The viral response on TikTok took Clemons by surprise - she described the engagement as 'crazy'. With over 3,000 comments, viewers shared how deeply the story made them feel connected to those around them. 'He gave you HIS copy of his favorite childhood book?? sobbing,' one user wrote under the post. A second added: 'Human connection is the meaning of life.' 'The joy you brought to your neighbor by simply following your own bliss,' another wrote. 'You never know your impact. I'm so glad they shared this.' Chiming in, a user said: 'Your actions for your own joy encouraged someone to look into a picture book from their youth.' 'Sometimes I forget that this is the whole point. I'm literally crying. This is so sweet,' wrote another. The purple home - now valued at a staggering $337,764, according to Zillow - was last sold for $275,000, marking a $62,764 increase in value. At 1,058 square feet, the couple's cozy 1939-built cottage features a sought-after floor plan with a spacious living room, dining room, bonus room, backyard patio, and a two-car garage. The home includes a full bathroom downstairs, while upstairs offers a half-bath and arguably its best feature - a private top-floor balcony overlooking the more muted neighboring homes.
