The CFDA Awards, often referred to as the "fashion Oscars," honored the best in American style on November 3, 2026. Keke Palmer hosted the ceremony, paying tribute to the late designer Bob Mackie in one of his vintage creations.
Anthony Vaccarello, the outgoing creative director of Saint Laurent, received the International Designer of the Year Award. He was accompanied by several brand ambassadors, including Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz, and Rosé, all wearing gilded ensembles from his final collection for the house. However, as demonstrated by Demi Moore and Lupita Nyong’o, impactful red carpet appearances were not limited to golden attire.
