The 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City brought us some glamorous fashion moments, combining bold designs, red carpet risks, and a few surprises.
Addison Rae managed to wow with a custom Thom Browne look. After her VMA bridal outfit, this gray corset and iridescent plaid mermaid dress combo was a refreshing change. But those towering hoof-like platform shoes blocked my path.
Coco Rocha channels her love of drama with her denim Cobi Halperin Spring 2025 jacket and skirt accented with ombre feathers, and more feathers added to her leather gloves. Coco’s approach as a model has a photoshoot-like energy, perhaps more suited to the studio than the red carpet.

Erykah Badu’s Thom Browne look stole the show thanks to an epic headpiece created in collaboration with AI artist PARALLEL, who gave her permission to bring his digital creations to life. Known for her unique style and love of avant-garde hats, Erica’s work is a powerful reminder of her dedication to originality and artistry, a refreshing contrast in an age of rampant online plagiarism. I am.
Thom Browne Fall/Winter 2024
Kathryn Hahn also opted for Thom Browne, but the effect was a black sequined dress inspired by the Addams Family.
Laufey had a rare glamorous moment wearing a silver and black sequin halter dress from the Rodarte x Beetlejuice collaboration.

Lucy Liu turned heads in a sharply tailored black sequin bodysuit by Back My. This is a departure from her usual style and adds a fresh edge.
Bachmai Autumn 2024
Nicole Richie stayed true to her minimalist aesthetic in a leather Proenza Schouler column dress.
Sabrina Elba wore a custom dress by Rachel Scott of Diotima, which won the American Women’s Wear Designer of the Year award at the event. This dress gives us images of sandy beaches and summer vacations, but it also works as the perfect red carpet look.

Teyana Taylor was bold as ever, wearing a bust-to-the-floor cutout dress by Laquan Smith, making the case that Laquan Smith is the new master of the cutout.

Victoria Monet also wore a sophisticated black long-sleeve bodysuit and equally bold skirt by Laquan Smith.

Finally, Iseult’s statement Rick Owens coat flared dramatically over her head, adding an element of theater and highlighting her knack for bold red carpet style.
