The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) held the 2018 CFDA Fashion Awards Monday night at the Brooklyn Museum. Hosted by Issa Rae (first ever black host and first female host in the almost 10 years), the awards honored the best and brightest in the American fashion industry. Award recipients (see complete winners list below) included Diane von Furstenberg, Kim Kardashian, Naomi Campbell and Donatella Versace. From Kourtney Kardashian to Diane Lane, Laura Harrier and more, the CFDA Awards 2018 red carpet had more ladies donning suits and blazers than we have seen in recent red carpet events this year and most of them did their suits justice! As usual, guests came correct in their red carpet finery but whose star shined brightest on the red carpet? Here are our best-dressed stars from the glamorous night.
