The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) awards were held last night in New York City. Each year these awards acknowledge designers who have shaped the industry with their creativity, dedication, and revolutionary ideas. Celebrity guests in attendance this year included Kate Bosworth, Heather Graham, Mandy Moore, and Dakota Fanning.
Bringing some humor to the ceremony, Seth Meyers hosted the gala which has been dubbed the “Oscars of the East Coast.” Audience members couldn’t hold their stone-cold fashion faces for long when Meyers walked on stage draped in a sheer black lace Marc Jacobs dress, with nothing but a pair of white boxers underneath.
Highlights from the evening include the presentation of Tommy Hilfiger with the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s win for Womenswear Designer of the Year, and Menswear designer of the year going to Billy Reid. Although unable to attend the event, Johnny Depp, on set for a new movie, won the Fashion Icon Award.
