CT Hedden (born 21 November 1998) is an American creative director, drag artist and cultural tastemaker whose work sits at the intersection of fashion, performance and brand storytelling. As the newly appointed Creative Director at New York–based strategic branding agency Cherry Bomb, Hedden brings a magnetic blend of artistry and sharp visual intelligence shaped by years of curating nightlife experiences and managing the iconic downtown restaurant Indochine. A self-made force within New York’s creative landscape, he has styled figures including Michelle Obama and has become a fixture at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, where his presence reflects his growing influence across both fashion and performance culture.

Hedden’s personal style is theatrical, sculptural and unapologetically couture-coded, blurring the line between daytime polish and full-stage fantasy. Every look is meticulously constructed, drawing on avant-garde silhouettes, chromatic drama and a gender-fluid elegance that has become unmistakably his own. His eyewear choices lean into that same expressive world — bold cat-eyes, futuristic shields and glossy black frames from designers such as Balenciaga and Marc Jacobs, each selected to amplify the character he brings to life in any given moment. Whether sitting front row, crafting brand narratives or commanding a stage in full drag, CT Hedden’s sunglasses serve as a powerful extension of his identity: daring, sculptural and endlessly stylish, much like the artist himself.
