The 2014 CFDA Fashion Awards will be hosted by film director and screenwriter John Waters on Monday, June 2 at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center.
The annual event recognizes the outstanding contributions made to American fashion by individuals from all areas of the industry and related arts, with awards being given for design excellence in womenswear, menswear, and accessories as well as extraordinary accomplishments in journalism, creative vision, and lifetime achievement.
Designers, editors and celebrities alike stunned on the red carpet this year, for an evening that truly celebrates amazing style. Blake Lively looked like a modern day go-go dancer in a mini Michael Kors dress, the Olsen twins wore oversized black garb (per usual) and Rihanna turned heads in a sheer Adam Selman fishnet dress, complete with gloves and a headscarf.
Nominations for each award category are submitted by The CFDA Fashion Awards Guild, an invitation only network comprised of top fashion retailers, journalists, stylists, influencers and the 450+ member designers of the CFDA.
