The brightest stars of American fashion gathered tonight for the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards, held at New York City’s iconic Museum of Natural History. Organized by the Council of Fashion Designers of America, the event was presided over by CFDA chairman Thom Browne and CEO Steven Kolb, with singer and style icon Teyana Taylor serving as host. On the arrivals carpet, designer and Real Housewives of New York City star Jenna Lyons welcomed guests with her trademark effortless sophistication, setting the tone for an evening defined by creativity and glamour.
This year’s ceremony spotlighted the finest in American design. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Thom Browne, Mike Amiri, and Willy Chavarria competed for Menswear Designer of the Year, while Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch, and Wes Gordon for Carolina Herrera led the Womenswear category. Special recognition went to A$AP Rocky, honored as Fashion Icon of the Year, and Donatella Versace, recipient of the Positive Change Award for her lasting impact on the industry.
The night was filled with familiar faces from fashion, film, and music — Naomi Campbell, Julianne Moore, and many more — but it was the red carpet that truly stole the spotlight.

Rihanna made a show-stopping entrance alongside A$AP Rocky, who looked refined in Chanel. The singer and entrepreneur turned heads in a sharply tailored Alaïa look that merged structure and sensuality. Her outfit — a cinched trench coat with a daring slit, pleated white trousers that melted into glossy black heels, and a high-neck sweater — exuded graphic precision. With sleek hair and understated makeup, Rihanna once again proved that bold reinvention is her fashion signature.

Amber Valletta brought old-school Hollywood allure in a gold Versace gown that shimmered under the lights. The sculpted silhouette, complete with a high slit and asymmetric neckline, highlighted the brand’s signature boldness. A metallic belt accentuated her figure, while sun-kissed makeup and wet-look hair completed her radiant, goddess-like presence.

Alex Consani showcased a masterclass in contemporary minimalism wearing Michael Kors Collection. Her look — a tuxedo-inspired gown with a plunging neckline and flowing silk trousers — embodied sharp femininity with effortless strength. Finished with sleek hair, dramatic liner, and diamond earrings, Consani’s minimalist approach was both striking and sophisticated.

Dove Cameron embraced romantic elegance in a dreamy Carolina Herrera gown by Wes Gordon. The sculpted satin bodice and cascading pink tulle layers created a delicate yet commanding silhouette. With her hair styled in a sleek bun and soft, rosy makeup, Cameron looked every bit the modern-day fairytale heroine.

Elsa Hosk was a vision of icy glamour in Elie Saab. Her pale-blue beaded couture gown glimmered with intricate embroidery and sheer detailing, enhancing every movement. Styled with diamond chandelier earrings and a polished updo, the Swedish model radiated European poise and cinematic grace, closing the night as one of the most memorable looks on the carpet.
From Rihanna’s sculptural Alaïa to Amber Valletta’s golden Versace moment, the 2025 CFDA Awards red carpet celebrated creativity, confidence, and the enduring magic of fashion.
