Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson stepped out for a date night over the weekend at an event in honor of the late conservationist, zookeeper and TV personality Steve Irwin.

The "Dancing with the Stars" pros looked sharp in their all-black outfits Saturday for the Steve Irwin Gala Dinner at SLS Hotel in Los Angeles, proceeds from which help provide lifesaving treatment to wildlife in Australia, and "more boots-on-the-ground to combat poaching and the illegal wildlife trade" across the globe, according to the event's website.

"Date night with the most beautiful lady," Chmerkovskiy captioned an Instagram post of their looks for the evening. "Supporting a beautiful family on a mission to save wildlife. I can't be more proud and grateful."
