1/11
Pharrell
This year's Fashion Icon accolade went to Pharrell Williams and expectedly he did what all fashion icons do - break the rules. Turning up in jeans, Pharrell definitely knew how to turn heads and he didn't have to put on a naked dress like Rihanna to do it.
2/11
Amanda Seyfried
We can't deny, we're enthralled by the beaded and feathered bodice of Amanda Seyfried's Rodarte dress but just one point of contention - the bottom could have been lined instead of being sheer. Other than that, the actress looks amazing!
3/11
Gigi Hadid
The rising model sure has made quite a sartorial name for herself and this time she looks every bit the golden girl in this glittery jumpsuit by Michael Kors.
4/11
Janelle Monae
Here's a rare moment where the singer is not in a pantsuit. Looking absolutely regal in the white and gold Tadashi Shoji cape-dress, Janelle Monae looks impeccable.
5/11
Coco Rocha
Let's face it, we have something of a girl crush on the gorgeous Coco Rocha and her dark lips. While we can't deny that she's a grecian beauty in this Marissa Webb gown, the bow in the middle of her chest could take a back seat in this case.
6/11
Katharine McPhee
Amidst the sea of gowns and dresses, we're glad that Katharine McPhee injected a tinge of geeky chic to the red carpet with her Paul Ka (top and skirt) and Amanda Wakely (vest) ensemble.
7/11
Juliette Lewis
Going all out, the American singer and actress stepped out in a fluffy white Christian Siriano gown and could not look any less stunning. We're definitely in love with the all white number!
8/11
Vanessa Hudgens
Looking irrefutably elegant in this asymmetrically cut Sachin and Babi ball gown, Vanessa Hudgens perfected the outfit with her hair pulled back into a bun, ensuring that all the focus stays where it should be.
9/11
Karlie Kloss
There's no wrong that Karlie Kloss could do. With legs for days, that even if she covers them up in a polka dotted DVF dress, she still manages to stand tall amidst the sea of fashionistas. Perhaps the plunging neckline has something to do with it.
10/11
Stacey Bendet
There could never be a dull moment with Alice + Olivia designer, Stacey Bendet, and this outfit is a glorious testament of her vibrant, one-of-a-kind style.
11/11
Hamish Bowles
Now we couldn't cover the CFDA Awards red carpet without giving due mention to the spiffy Hamish Bowles. Wearing a complete floral suit, the Vogue Editor-at-Large sure knows a thing or two about having fun with fashion.

Here all the celebrated talents you need to know from one of the biggest nights of American fashion – including those on the red carpet!

Often dubbed as the ‘Oscars of the fashion world’, the CFDA Awards is a yearly event that celebrates the most talented designers across menswear, womenswear and accessory labels in America. Also it’s one of those events where you can expect the style meter to go off the charts (besides the Met Gala of course), with the who’s who of fashion flaunting their sartorial finesse. This year was no different.

Beyond designers though, models and actresses came out in full force decked to the nines. Whether it was the sublime Coco Rocha in a grecian Marissa Webb gown; the young Gigi Hadid in what seemed like an 80s-inspired gold jumpsuit by Michael Kors, or the effortlessly elegant Vannessa Hudgens in a deep blue Sachin and Babi ball gown, the heat was no doubt dialed all the way up.

Moving on from the red carpet, the starry highlight of the night though, had to be the winning accolades that were given out. Trust us, we were catching updates of the award ceremony with intensely bated breath, so without further ado, here are your celebrated fashion individuals and brands for 2015!
