The CFDA brings out the heaviest celebrity and fashion hitters in a celebration of influence and style.

Monday is off to a glamorous start in New York City as our favorite A-listers and fashion darlings dressed to the nines for the 2018 CFDA Awards at the Brooklyn Museum and toasted the evening with Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rose.

The annual event honors designers, emerging talent and icons who’ve made an impact on the sartorial front in womenswear, menswear and accessories. It is hosted by actress and creator of the HBO hit Insecure Issa Rae, who will be the first woman to host the ceremony in nine years. The honorees include Diane von Furstenberg, Ralph Lauren, Naomi Campbell and Kim Kardashian West, who will receive a new Influencer of the Year award. Notable nominees to look out for are Virgil Abloh of Off-White and Raf Simons for Calvin Klein.

Take a peek ahead at what all the celebs donned on the red carpet for the celebration, from Kendall Jenner’s stunning lavender feathers to Riverdale star Lili Reinhart’s romantic gown.

Tracee was pretty in pink in a layered, ruffled Carolina Herrera dress. The black bust matched her patent leather pumps. The look was finished off with drop earrings and a hot pink lip, of course.

Olivia gave us major summer vibes in a sunny yellow maxi dress by Rebecca Minkoff. Her low-key, undone waves paired nicely with the floaty frock's beachy chic look.

The model was elegant in a head-to-toe nude look. The Vera Wang dress hugged Ashley’s every curve and boasted an interesting shapely detail on the sleeves. She finished it off with relaxed tresses and matching clutch and shoes.
