2017 Gotham Awards: Red carpet arrivals

The Gotham Independent Film Awards brought together some of Hollywood's brightest stars for a ceremony that Variety dubs "the Iowa caucus of Oscars season."

Held at Cipriani Wall Street, the awards honored Sundance's breakout "Call Me By Your Name" with the award for best feature, while star Timothee Chalamet nabbed the breakthrough actor award. Other winners includes Jordan Peele for "Get Out," James Franco, Nicole Kidman and Saoirse Ronan.

On the red carpet before the ceremony, the star-studded crowd was uber stylish in a variety of looks that brought the glam to Downtown Manhattan.

"Mudbound" actress Mary J. Blige stole the show in a long-sleeved black Temraza gown with a thigh-high slit and gold detailing around the neck and across the torso. "Big Little Lies" star Reese Witherspoon rocked a similar black-and-gold number, though hers was short-sleeved and hit at the knee. Honoree Nicole Kidman rocked a sexy, sparkling blue dress with a plunging neckline.

Other notable looks came from Saoirse Ronan, Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, Carey Mulligan and more.
