The CFDA Award ceremony took place at the New York Museum of Natural History. It is awarded annually by the Council of Fashion Designers of America for achievements in the fashion industry. It can be received by both celebrities who are not directly employees of fashion houses or designers, as well as promising young fashion designers. The host of the evening was the actress, star of the film “The Devil Wears Prada” Anne Hathaway, who literally learned the day before that she would have to perform in this capacity. Previously confirmed actress Sarah Jessica Parker was unable to appear at the CFDA ceremony due to “unforeseen circumstances.”.

The star of the TV series “The Vampire Diaries” Nina Dobrev chose a spectacular gold dress from Oscar de la Renta. The evening's host, Anne Hathaway, sported an evening dress with a tie-dye denim train, reminiscent of Britney Spears' similar outfit in the early 2000s. Emily Ratajkowski, on the contrary, went against the grain and appeared in a cream minidress and matching shoes. and Demi Moore took on the trend of this fall and appeared in a dress with large silver sequins.
