Last night, all eyes were on the Council of Fashion Designers of America, aka the CFDA, Awards. Rachel Scott took home the American Womenswear Designer of the Year award for her work at Diotima; NYC-based designer Colleen Allen won the Google American Emerging Designer of the Year; and more iconic designers were recognized for shaping the fashion industry and pushing it forward. To celebrate the special occasion, our favorite celebrities put on their Monday best, supporting designers of their choosing or pulling from the archives, and seized the opportunity to make a fashion statement.
We spotted Anthony Vaccarello's Saint Laurent girls going for gold, playful polka dots galore, lots of color and pattern-clashing, and some reminders: simplicity is often effective but, maximalism is (almost) always fun.
Ahead, our favorite looks from the 2026 CFDA Awards.
