New York has played host to its glitziest bash, the annual Costume Institute Gala.

With a guestlist to rival the Oscars, name any celeb and they were most likely in attendance - from music's biggest stars Madonna, Rihanna, Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez, to Hollywood's A-list Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway and Katie Holmes.

Traditionally in style terms the event raises the bar for red carpet dressing with designers pairing up with their favourite star to create a custom made gown that will knock the competition out of the park and score a few headlines.
