Photos: Oscar de la Renta laid to rest in private New York funeral

Luminaries of the fashion and entertainment worlds were attending a private funeral Monday for legendary fashion designer Oscar de la Renta.
Barbara Walters was seen arriving at a church on Manhattan's Upper East Side, as well as fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg and her husband, Barry Diller.
De la Renta died late last month at his Connecticut home at the age of 82, following a battle with cancer.
Fans and photographers were kept behind police barricades that stretched a city block at the large, imposing church on Park Avenue. 
Fellow designers Valentino, Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger came to the service to pay their respects, and fashion photographer Annie Leibovitz was also in attendance.
While de la Renta's close friend Sarah Jessica Parker is currently filming her new movie in Italy, her husband Matthew Broderick was seen arriving this morning at the funeral in her place.
Donna Karan arrived in a wheelchair with a bandage wrapped around her ankle after sustaining a foot injury while traveling. 
May Oscar's soul RIP!
