On Monday evening in New York, a starry crowd gathered to toast the best of American fashion at the 2026 CFDA Awards – the US answer to The Fashion Awards, which will be taking place here in London in just under a month’s time.

Hosted at the American Museum of Natural History by Keke Palmer, the event honoured the brightest and best of the American fashion industry for their contributions, both over the past year and over the course of their careers. Some of the real award-winning moments of the night, though, came on the red – sorry, cream – carpet, where style highlights included Peter Marino in his classic head-to-toe leathers (he was there to pick up the Fashion Icon Award); Tinashe, fresh from the release of her brilliant new album, in custom Christopher John Rogers; and a clique of stars sporting glittering looks from Anthony Vaccarello’s swan song Saint Laurent collection, among them former British cover star Zoë Kravitz.
