While May’s Met Gala had the fashion flock interpreting a futuristic theme on the red carpet, tonight’s CFDA Awards will see them looking their straight-up glamorous best, with models, It girls and the like dressed by the preeminent emerging and veteran designers who’ll be honored. This year’s ceremony boasts a thrilling roster of nominees, presenters, performers—and an unlikely celebrity host, comedian Joel McHale—and it wouldn’t go down as a true fashion fete if we didn’t recount the most breathtaking looks (including that of our very own EIC who, to wit, is wearing a custom gown inspired by her fall collection). Ahead, our favorites of the night.
