Sean Connery has celebrated Scotland's eclectic style with a star-studded fashion event in New York.

Celebrities, athletes and wounded war veterans dressed in modernised kilts, capes and beanies from the country's top designers at Dressed To Kilt.

The former Bond actor said the event, marking its seventh year, "certainly brings together a very interesting mix of people".

Mike Myers, in a kilt, argyle socks and sneakers, was first on the catwalk at the Chelsea nightclub space, appearing sandwiched between bagpipers from the 48th Highlanders of Canada.

Joan Jett was a crowd-pleaser in her door-knocker bra top, patent-leather trench coat, micro-mini kilt and an outrageous feather headpiece by William Chambers.

Alan Cumming wore an all-matching plaid three-piece kilt suit, and actors Kyle MacLachlan and Sam Waterston also seemed pretty comfy in their kilts.

But while there was a thoroughly festive atmosphere on stage, the mood became respectful when veterans from the Wounded Warrior Project appeared as models.

The fashion show raises money for Friends of Scotland, a nonprofit founded by Sean.

Sean has been known to wear kilts for other occasions, but, watching from a roped-off VIP area with Donald and Melania Trump, he opted for trousers and a turtleneck.

"I know nothing about fashion, but I'm very fortunate," Sean said. "If the clothes are halfway decent, I can wear them - as long as I stick to my diet."
