Fashion Designers of America Awards

There is absolutely nothing I love more than checking out celebrities on the Red Carpet! Doesn’t matter if it’s just a small award show or the Oscars. So when I saw this year’s CFDA’s Fashion Awards, I knew that the gowns celebrities will be wearing is definitely to die for! After all, CFDA stands for Council of Fashion Designers of America! So rest assured, the outfits you will be seeing will either be a totally beautiful piece or a quirky artsy piece. But then of course, there are those that just miss both completely. But we’re not here to talk about that, we’re here to take a look at a few of my favourite looks from the awards.

What exactly is the CFDA Fashion Awards?
”In its effort to recognize the outstanding contributions made to American fashion by individuals from all areas of the industry and related arts, the CFDA hosts the annual CFDA Fashion Awards. Awards will be given for design excellence in womenswear, menswear and accessories as well as extraordinary accomplishments in journalism, creative vision and lifetime achievement.” Taken from, www.cfda.com
