attends the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards at the Hammerstein Ballroom on June 6, 2016 in New York City.
Last night, the?Council of Fashion Designers of America held their annual CFDA Fashion Awards (like the Academy Awards, for designers) at?New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom. Queen B scooped the Fashion Icon Award, the CFDA Board of Directors gave a Special Tribute Award to the fashion legacy that was David Bowie and Lena Dunham wore some really fantastic shoes. Check out the full list of winners and see the 10 Best Dressed below.
The Olsens arrived true to form in head to toe black. They were up for Womenswear Designer?and Accessories Designer of the Year awards for label The Row. Although they didn’t win, The Row has already scooped three CFDA Fashion Awards – twice for womenswear designer of the year, in 2012 (just six years after the brand’s birth) and 2015, and once for Accessory Designer of the year in 2014.?
Jourdan Dunn killed it in embellished Jonathan Simkhai.
Vogue’s International Editor At Large Hamish Bowles in an excellent printed suit.?
If Jenna Lyons was there, you can trust she made the best-dressed list. Even if she wasn’t there, she made the best-dressed list. In fact, there is no best-dressed list that doesn’t feature Jenna Lyons.
Yonc? (now a CFDA awarded certified Fashion Icon – bow down bishes) in pinstriped Givenchy. Fun Thing To Do – say “Beyonce in Givenchy” without thinking of Bananas In Pjamas.
Creative Director of Gucci Alessandro Michele was honored with the International Award. His designs are celebrated for being eccentric – as you can tell from his pink, detailed tux.?
Hari Nef in Gucci – love the mint, love the embellishment, love the panther and love anything tulle.?
Jessica Chastain in Prabal Gurung.
Olivia Palermo – see Jenna Lyons above for more information.?
Man Repeller’s Leandra Medine layering in sequined Phillip Lim.
