InStyle Women Of Style Awards: Red Carpet Awards Evening; Supermodel Miranda Kerr and friends

It was another big night for Australian fashion, following on from last weeks Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week Australia.

There was lots of talk tonight about the added boost to security to help protect the goody bags. Another major focus point was the attendance of supermodel Miranda Kerr.

It's understood that The Voice mentor Megan Washington pointed to her at as the person she'd most been looking forward to seeing.

"I heard that looking at her is like looking into the sun so I'm eager to find out if that's the truth or not."

Kerr, in a pale blue colour Zampatti dress, low cut at the back and front, told media she was excited to be among the nominees.

"It's really special because I'm nominated for Kora Organics for the beauty awards and I've really put my heart and soul into (it)... so to be recognised for that is really special for me."

The Voice franchise was also represented by mentor Ricki-Lee Coulter, in a black and silver Sass & Bide maxi dress, and advised she was pleased with her time on the Nine Network show but is still keeping in touch.

"I'm always on hand for any contestant on team Seal. I let them know if they ever need a hand they can get to me any time they want," she said.

Celebs from many walks attending including Asher Keddie, Layne Beachley, Nikki Gemmell, Kate Ritchie and Miranda Otto.

Lara Bingle turned up late, with speculation that she may have been looking to avoid some of Sydney's least favourite photographers. Yes, not all media and photographers are as nice as us guys and girls.

Well done to everyone involved in tonight's ultra successful fashion event.
