American fashion's biggest night drew stars including Megan Thee Stallion, Matt Damon and more.

The 2026 CFDA Awards returned to the American Museum of Natural History on Monday evening, marking American fashion’s biggest night.

Going into the evening, several award winners were already revealed, including Anthony Vaccarello for the International Designer of the Year Award, Tory Burch for the Positive Change Award; photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for this year’s Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, and Peter Marino for Fashion Icon.

“I cannot think of anyone who deserves this recognition more than Anthony Vaccarello,” shared Donatella Versace. “His talent and his ability to create magic are undisputed.”

Sergio Hudson dressed Brandy for the night, in a white button-down shirt and black short skirt.

“The whole collection was inspired by if James Bond were the woman, and she was the one doing the chase,” Hudson said. “I’m a believer in strong women and women that lead their own path. So just being here with her means a lot.”

“This is my girl, my queen, Kim Shui, and I always wear her stuff, and I’m so excited and so grateful that she asked me to come do this with her,” Megan Thee Stallion said of her gown. “She custom-made this for me, and I’m just happy.”

“It’s honestly so fabulous,” Nara Smith said of her Altuzarra look. “I think the colors of it really spoke to me. There’s nothing like a good color.
