Tonight, fashion stars and luminaries descended upon the American Museum of Natural History for the 2025 CFDA Awards. First held in 1981, the annual event, often referred to as the “Oscars of fashion,” honors excellence in America’s fashion industry. This year’s awards are hosted by One Battle After Another star Teyana Taylor and both prestigious and rising labels are nominated. Among them are the likes of Tory Burch, Ralph Lauren, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen of The Row, Thom Browne, Khaite’s Catherine Holstein, Willy Chavarria, and Diotima and Proenza Schouler designer, Rachel Scott.
Due to accept one of the night’s highest honors is A$AP Rocky. He is this year’s recipient of the Fashion Icon Award, following in the footsteps of his partner Rihanna, who famously received the title while dressed in a sheer Swarovski crystal gown back in 2014. Cynthia Rowley and Fear of God’s Jerry Lorenzo will receive the Founder’s Award and Innovation Award, respectively, while Donatella Versace is due to accept the Positive Change Award. Alaïa’s Pieter Mulier will receive the International Designer of the Year Award from Naomi Campbell. And W Magazine’s Editor in Chief Sara Moonves will accept the Media Award in honor of Eugenia Sheppard.
But before guests headed inside the museum halls to celebrate, they took to the event’s famed red carpet to show off their looks. Many dressed up in the night’s nominees—from Burch’s twisted ladylike designs to The Row’s minimalist creations—in just another showcase of the exceptionalism of American fashion.
