It's the most glamorous night of the year. Since the UK GLAMOUR Awards, at least.

This year's US Glamour Women Of The Year Awards in New York saw the likes of Lady Gaga and Malala honoured, with stars like Lena Dunham and Lily Collins in attendance.

Gaga won the 'Monster Talent Award', showing up in one of her typically understated outfits. With backcombed, crimped bleached hair, powder-white skin, towering pearl platform shoes and a boxy white embroidered skirt-suit, the 27-year-old singer was in danger of blending into the background at the glitzy awards.

Gaga and her Ga-style aside, the night belonged to Malala Yousafzai, who won 'The Girls' Hero' award for her inspirational actions over the last year. The 16-year-old drew the biggest cheers of the night by reminding the crowd that the pen is mightier than the gun.

Shot in the head by the Taliban last year, Malala has been inspiring people worldwide ever since as she campaigns for girls' education.

Other award winners included Kerry Washington and Barbra Streisand.

Lena Dunham was in attendance to present an award, and was ready for party season in a long sparkling black mesh Theyskens dress.

Lily Collins stole the (unofficial-Glamour.com-UK-awarded) best dressed gong for this daring nude Julien Macdonald number. She's our hair and beauty favourite right now - that choppy, wavy ombre bob, strong brow and berry lip combination is all kinds of pretty.
