From Julia Roberts to Penelope Cruz: New York Fashion Week's star studded front row

See the stars who have taken the top seats at the spring/summer 2016 shows.

Fashion shows may be all about the clothes but quite often it's the celebrities in attendance that steal the headlines.

There's been no shortage of star spotting at the first leg of the bi-annual shows, held this week in New York.

The first major event on the New York Fashion Week calendar has also provided the best front row - for one season only Riccardo Tisci crossed the pond to show his spring/summer offering for Givenchy in the Big Apple.

In attendance included long-time Givenchy supporters Kim Kardashian with husband Kanye West, actresses Julia Roberts, Uma Thurman, Margot Robbie, Amanda Seyfried, Christina Ricci, Hailee Steinfeld and Liv Tyler, as well as Ciara and Nicki Minaj.

Kylie Jenner has been making her way round the shows appearing at Alexander Wang (which also saw Lady Gaga in attendance), Opening Ceremony, Vera Wang and Prabal Gurung.

More unusual fashion week guests included Princess Beatrice, F1's Lewis Hamiliton and Helen Mirren who sat front row at Badgley Mischka.

And if it is anything like his first show, another major front row is expected this afternoon when Kanye West stages his second show for Adidas.
