Amid the bustling awards season, the 26th Costume Designers Guild Awards (CDGAs) recently took place in Hollywood. Over 1,200 costume designers, assistants, and illustrators gathered at NeueHouse to celebrate the achievements in film from the past year. The event was hosted by American actress Wendi McLendon-Covey and featured the presentation of nine awards along with special honors.
One of the highlights of the evening was the #NakedWithoutUs campaign, symbolized by attendees wearing pink outfits on the red carpet and during the event. This campaign was launched by the CDG to address the gender pay gap faced by female costume designers. The initiative aims to achieve pay equity with male-dominated creative department heads, highlighting the disparity in wages and working conditions.
