Last night, the CFDA Awards took place in New York City, where the biggest and best designers and models in American fashion were honoured for their work. The occasion, of course, drew in some of the most famous faces in fashion, including Blake Lively, Lucy Liu, Kylie Jenner and Katie Holmes, as well as plenty more influential faces.

As would be expected for the high-fashion event, every guest pulled out all the stops.

Below, we round up our 10 favourite looks from the night, where stars embraced plenty of new-season catwalk collections with a number of them championing up-and-coming designers.

For more from the event, and this month's best-dressed stars, head this way.


Blake Lively in Michael Kors

Blake Lively kept things pared back and neutral in an all-white Michael Kors look – and looked the best she has in years. The actress teamed a draped dress with an oversized blazer, lots of jewels and a great blowdry.

Kylie Jenner opted for a high-fashion look in the form of one of Haider Ackermann's designs for Jean Paul Gaultier. The black dress featured lots of texture and a dramatic spiky skirt.

Nicole Richie

We love a leather moment on the red carpet, and Nicole Richie's backless black gown was one of our favourite looks of the night. She paired it with a slicked-back updo, pointy leather pumps and statement earrings.
