The best looks at the 2024 CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Awards aren't just about the celebrities wearing them. On this red carpet, held Oct. 28 at New York City's Natural History Museum, fashion is a vehicle to celebrate the talent behind each stitch and seam.
The CFDA Awards annually highlight the best and brightest in American design, meaning the carpet is usually full of nominees' work. This year, we were guaranteed a big showing from recognizable names like Tory Burch (nominated for the top womenswear award) and Coach (nominated for accessories honors), as well as emerging labels Wiederhoeft, Tanner Fletcher, and Zankov. Nominees like Rachel Scott of Diotima created custom pieces for their guests to debut on the carpet; other designers, like Carolina Herrera and Michael Kors, lent straight-off-the runway pieces to the likes of Katie Holmes and Blake Lively.
