Rosé, Hailey Bieber and Zoë Kravitz Present Vaccarello’s CFDA Award, as Ralph Lauren Wins Again

Anthony Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent goodbye got one more gold-lit curtain call, and Rosé helped deliver it. At the 45th CFDA Fashion Awards on Monday night (Nov. 2) at New York’s American Museum of Natural History, Rosé, Zoë Kravitz and Hailey Bieber took the stage to present him with the International Designer of the Year award, W reports.

Anthony doesn’t just design clothes; he creates an attitude, a sense of freedom, and confidence that is distinctly his own.

On the carpet, the three wore gold looks from the spring 2027 collection Vaccarello showed under the Eiffel Tower in his final Saint Laurent show: Bieber in a faux-fur-lined skirt set with brocade lace, Rosé in an embroidered halter crop top, Kravitz in a backless bodysuit with Surrealist-inspired molding. Anja Rubik, who walked that runway, layered a Lurex lamé bomber over her gown. Each of the women has worked with the house for years, W notes. Vaccarello left Saint Laurent last month, and the house has said new creative leadership is coming.

Rachel Scott of Diotima won American Womenswear Designer of the Year. Ralph Lauren took American Menswear Designer of the Year from presenter Matt Damon, his third win in the category after 1996 and 2007, per Hypebeast, which notes he remains the only designer to collect all of the CFDA’s top honors. Ana Khouri won accessories and Colleen Allen the emerging-designer award. Keke Palmer hosted in a one-of-one 1975 Bob Mackie gown, Coveteur says.

Music fans got a deep carpet. Laufey wore Thom Browne, per Hypebae, and presented Eva Chen with the Media Award, StyleRave reports. Dazed spotted PinkPantheress in a custom Coach two-piece, Coi Leray in new-season Marc Jacobs and Tinashe in a Christopher John Rogers bra top and bustle skirt. Gracie Abrams wore a black velvet gown from Colleen Allen’s fall 2026 collection, the label that went on to win emerging designer, and Becky G wore baby-blue polka-dot Carolina Herrera, per Coveteur.

The honorary awards went to Tory Burch (Positive Change, presented by Anna Wintour), photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin (Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement), architect Peter Marino (Fashion Icon) and Gap Inc. (Innovation, announced by Demi Moore). Saint Laurent’s front rows, from Madonna and Charli xcx at the men’s show to Rosé at the women’s, are part of what Vaccarello leaves behind.
