The 2024 Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards were a dazzling convergence of style and star power, as celebrities from across fashion, sports and entertainment gathered to honor outstanding contributions to American Fashion. The annual event is dedicated to promoting and supporting American designers—from seasoned style icons like Marc Jacobs, Thom Browne and Tory Burch to emerging talent like Connor McKnight and Presley Oldham—and the global influence of American fashion.

Highlights of the Oct. 28 night include Daniel Roseberry, receiving the International Designer of the Year Award for his work with Schiaparelli, and Michael Kors, who was honored with the Positive Change Award for his dedication to hunger relief.

Held at the prestigious American Museum of Natural History in New York City, the event spotlighted creative innovation and design excellence, with the CFDA Awards continuously pushing the boundaries of fashion excellence and celebrating new voices alongside established ones. It was a night of stunning fashion choices and unforgettable moments. Below are some of our favorite looks.
