The 2026 CFDA Fashion Awards took place on Monday, November 2, at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Often called the Oscars of American fashion, the event celebrates designers and other creatives for their contributions to the industry. Among the night’s winners was Rachel Scott of Diotima, who received the American Womenswear Designer of the Year award.

But before the ceremony began and the honors were handed out, several celebrities, designers and their muses arrived on the red carpet in looks from some of the biggest names in fashion.

Keke Palmer in archival Bob Mackie

Hosting this year’s event, Keke Palmer wore a vintage Bob Mackie gown previously worn by actress Raquel Welch during a performance on The Cher Show in 1975. Palmer appeared in the archival piece before taking the stage to host the ceremony.

Meanwhile, Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz, Anja Rubik and Rosé were among the stars who wore gold pieces from Anthony Vaccarello’s latest and final collection for Saint Laurent. The designer, who recently announced his departure from the fashion house after a decade, was also named International Designer of the Year.

Elsewhere, Emily Ratajkowski kept her look classic, arriving in a simple black sweater paired with a low-rise orange skirt and black boots, all from Tory Burch. Elle Fanning, on the other hand, wore a pink slip dress beneath a floor-length leather trench coat from Coach by Stuart Vevers.
