The stars came out in full force for Ralph Lauren.

The iconic American fashion label presented its fall/holiday 2024 collection for an intimate crowd of stylish industry tastemakers including Anna Wintour, Jodie Turner-Smith, Jessica Chastain and Kerry Washington. The exclusive event took place on Monday, April 29 in New York City, set inside Lauren's private design studio, an homage to the designer's "first women's show in 1972 where he presented his collection to a small group of editors and friends," according to the brand.

Lauren, who serves as the Chief Creative Officer of Ralph Lauren Corporation, says that this collection celebrates "timelessness" and "individuality."

"The woman I design for has a beauty that comes from an inner confidence," the designer explains in show notes shared with PEOPLE. "She dresses for herself. Her style is personal and bold. She'll throw a hand-tailored jacket over a glamorous evening dress. She believes in quiet sophistication not defined by time or trends. My Fall/Holiday 2024 Collection is inspired by that woman, her sense of timelessness, her individuality — a style that is forever."

Take a look inside the star-studded runway show, from backstage to the afterparty at New York's iconic Polo Bar.

Turner-Smith gave Western-inspired style a glamorous update with an intricate gold poncho over a green and red sequin gown and knee-high cowboy boots. Her knee-high cowboy boots and brown cowboy hat amped up the Americana vibes, while her oversized gold jewelry added a touch of bold glamour.

The Scandal alum leaned into the color-blocking trend with a teal satin button-down shirt and high-waisted purple skirt with a thigh-high slit. Her accessories were equally impactful — platform sandals, a Western-style belt and an array of colorful beaded necklaces.

To top off the look, Washington's hair was styled into a long braid that draped over her shoulder.
