The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Awards showcased the best in homegrown US fashion design, with a bevvy of stars arriving in the nominees' own designs.

Jessica Chastain, Nicole Richie, Karlie Kloss, Miranda Kerr and Mary-Kate Olsen were just some of the big stars who attended the fashionable night out, held at Alice Tully Hall in New York.

Hosted by fashionista TV presenter Andy Cohen from Bravo, the night saw Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler take the prize for Womenswear Designer of the Year and Thom Browne for Menswear.

Miranda Kerr arrived super-on-trend, showcasing the womenswear winner's design with a purple metallic dress.

Diane von Furstenberg is president of the CFDA, which is a collection of 400 members of the US fashion elite.

Being a massive fan of the designer, it was fitting that Hilary Clinton presented Oscar de la Renta with the Eleanor Lambert Founders Award. And Vera Wang received the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, which was presented by fellow designer Ralph Lauren.
