Inside the CFDA Fashion Awards 2025: Celebrity Style and Statement Eyewear
The CFDA Fashion Awards 2025 lit up New York City in a spectacular celebration of creativity, culture, and craftsmanship. Organised annually by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), the event honours the industry’s most influential designers, tastemakers, and rising talents who shape the future of fashion.
Held this year at the American Museum of Natural History, the gala spotlighted innovation, inclusivity, and individuality, core values of modern American style. Hosted by Teyana Taylor, the evening paid tribute to leading figures including Ralph Lauren, who received the American Womenswear Designer of the Year award,
A$AP Rocky, the first ever Creative Director for Ray-Ban, honoured with the Fashion Icon award.
A$AP Rocky, spotted leaving with Rihanna in new Ray-Ban Wayfarer Puffer RB4940B 6864/87 - coming soon to PRETAVOIR
to Donatella Versace with the Positive Change Award, and more.
The red carpet shimmered with artistic flair, proving once again that eyewear has become an indispensable statement piece, even at the most glamorous black-tie gatherings.
Alton Mason, looking statuesque as ever, paid homage to American fashion magnate Michael Kors in shiny black MK1160 Biarritz sunglasses. While we stock this model in rose gold with mirrored lenses, do let us know if Alton’s exact version captures your imagination more.
Vera Wang returned in her signature monochrome style with her favourite Saint Laurent Sun SL 364 MASK ACE 001 (that she has previously worn at both the US Open and the Academy Museum Gala), a match made in modern minimalism.
We’re rooting for another outing of Naomi Campbell in yet another head-turning hairstyle. Her asymmetric bob with a sharp front fringe could make late-2000s Rihanna and Victoria Beckham kneel, but it’s her gold Alaïa AA0094S 004 sunglasses with brown-to-grey gradient lenses that truly carve out the eternal icon status she commands.
Meanwhile, Teyana Taylor herself reigned supreme in four Thom Browne looks and two pairs of Ray-Ban eyewear! On the red carpet, she leaned into playful creativity with grey patterned Ray-Ban Mega Hawkeye RB0298V 8117 optical glasses...
... then switched onstage to sand brown Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer RW4006 6705/P5 Photochromic Smart Glasses, a futuristic choice befitting her fearless energy!
The ever-stylish DJ Mark Ronson stepped into the event wearing a light blue robe that matched the lens colour of his Tom Ford Penn-02 TF1362 01V sunglasses, a new arrival from our Fall 2025 drop.
As the night came to a close, the CFDA Fashion Awards 2025 stood as a celebration of boundary-breaking creativity, individuality, and the power of self-expression through style. On a night devoted to American fashion excellence, these bold eyewear choices proved that true icons never overlook the finishing touch.
See you next year for another chapter of visionary fashion, fearless glamour, and unforgettable celebrity eyewear!
