Best Look from the 2021 CFDA Awards

Just a few hours after the news about latest creative director handshake broke, the American fashion industry gathered in Manhattan, not necessarily to keep the rumor mill from returning (though, there’s certainly a lot to talk about): Wednesday night marked the return back IRL of CFDA Award, with designers, models, celebrities and select media gatherings to toast their achievements and of course, award some trophies.

Although a smaller venue and an ongoing global pandemic caused the guest list to be more abbreviated than in previous years, the event still drew quite a crowd, including the honoree. Fashion icon Zendaya (in Vera Wang style), first-time Face of the Year award winner Anya Taylor-Joy (in Oscar de la Renta and Gigi Burris Millinery) and “Squid Game” star and model HoYeon Jung (in Louis Vuitton).
