The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) held its annual Fashion Awards on November 2, 2026, at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. The event, often referred to as the 'Oscars of American fashion', celebrated the designers and creatives who are shaping the future of American fashion. Among the winners were Rachel Scott, who won American Womenswear Designer of the Year for the second time, and Ralph Lauren, who received the American Menswear Designer of the Year award. Lauren, who turns 87 this year, has been a prominent figure in American fashion for decades and is known for his personal style and business acumen. The ceremony also featured special honors, including the Positive Change Award to Tory Burch and the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award to Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. The event was hosted by Keke Palmer, who delivered a major fashion moment in a 1970s Bob Mackie gown previously worn by Raquel Welch.
