Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen dominated the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CDFA) Awards, winning the Womenswear Designers of the Year award for their fashion line The Row.

Johnny Depp won the Fashion Icon Award, but wasn't present at the ceremony to receive the award, with Cry-Baby director John Waters accepting on his behalf.

Jessica Chastain, who attended the awards in a Prabal Gurung dress and Harry Winston jewels, said Depp is "just so cool!"

"He just sort of creates his own convention," the actress added. "He doesn't just like follow the rules. He makes the rules."
