“I was beyond excited to attend my first CFDA Fashion Awards. Over the past few years, I’ve been stepping into fashion more and more so it’s such an honor to get to attend one of the biggest nights of the year for American designers.”
“I specifically remember this one dress in my mom’s closet when I was younger and that was a Hervé Léger bandage dress. I couldn’t wait to grow up so I could steal it from her. Flash forward to now, attending as the brand’s guest alongside Michelle Ochs was such a full circle moment for me. Michelle has really put such a beautiful, elevated spin on the brand’s classic styles, and my look made me feel chic, cool, and sexy all at the same time.”
“I landed in NYC got to my hotel and sat down in the glam chair. If it wasn’t for hair and makeup artists I wouldn’t be able to survive with such a busy schedule. I was able to get my hair, makeup, and nails done all while on a Zoom meeting. I also love being able to close my eyes and take a little nap while getting my glam done if I need to.Since my dress was very tight, I wanted my glam to be big to balance it out. My references were the iconic supermodels of the 90s & early 2000s – think glossy lips, voluminous hair, shimmery eyeshadow.”
“My dress is from Hervé Léger’s Resort 2025 collection and it actually comes in a few colors. I was really torn between wearing the dress in black or coco brown, but ultimately landed on the brown. I had to lather myself in self tanner before this event because my skin was still stained a little pink from my Halloween costume … and I thought the coco went nicely with the warm bronzed look.”
“Since I flew into town the day of the event, we practically accessorized this dress as I was walking out the door. I love the silver detailing throughout my dress and wanted to tie this all together with silver jewelry, silver shoes, and a silver bag.”
“Big events like the CFDA Awards can be intimidating, so it’s always important to keep the energy fun when I’m getting ready. My best friend, Sally, was with me while I got ready and I was happy to have her there to hype me up before I headed out the door.”
“Obsessed with my final glam look! I love how we tied in the color of my dress with the eyeshadow.”
“I always know I love my look when the first few photos we take are already the ones! This dress is so flattering it could do no wrong. I need to stop crossing my feet in pictures because it always looks like I have one foot.”
“Michelle came to my hotel so that we could meet before the event and ride to the carpet together. I was so excited when I saw her walk into the hallway. We matched each others energy right away and I knew we were in for an amazing night!”
“Took one last photo with Michelle and we were on our way.”
