A-list celebrities such as Kate Moss, Sam Smith and Emily Ratajkowski attended a New York bonanza on Thursday night for King Charles’ charity.
The star-studded occasion marked the first major event since The Prince’s Foundation was renamed The King’s Trust.
The event, held in New York, was hosted by King’s Trust Global Ambassadors Lionel Richie and Edward Enninful OBE.
A surprise performance by John Legend is also understood to have taken place, with the singer seen posing in a white suit and bow tie.
The Prince’s Trust became the King’s Trust in November last year, as Charles set up the foundation while he was still the Prince of Wales.
The palace said the King’s long-standing charities had been rebranded in recognition of his accession to the throne.

The Trust helps young people aged 11 to 30 get into jobs, education and training – and its beneficiaries have included The Wire and Luther actor Idris Elba, who used a £1,500 grant from it to help start his career.
Charles once spoke of his hope his two sons William and Harry, now the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex, would take over the Prince’s Trust, which he set up with his £7,400 Navy severance pay in 1976. But William is paving his own way as the new heir to the throne, focusing on homelessness and mental health.
King Charles was seen smiling this week as he returned to public duties for the first time since his cancer diagnosis, smiling and waving as he arrived at a hospital in London.
His Majesty – who still has the disease and is undergoing treatment – visited the University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre with his wife Queen Camilla, meeting patients and staff in his role as the charity’s patron.
