CFDA Awards 2018 Best Hair and Makeup Red Carpet Looks
The CFDA Awards may not technically have a “Best Beauty Look” category, but that doesn’t mean the industry’s A-listers don't seriously step up their hair and makeup game for the occasion. The annual awards ceremony honors both emerging and established designers for their work in the areas of womenswear design, menswear design, and accessories design, in addition to models and influencers. (Kim Kardashian will receive the CFDA’s first-ever “Influencer Award”.)
Celebrities arrived at New York City’s Brooklyn Museum on Monday night, where everyone from actors Amandla Stenberg and Camila Mendes to models Josephine Skriver and Gigi Hadid were in attendance, hitting the carpet in their fiercest hair and makeup looks.
The red carpet delivered a procession of modern takes on makeup and next-level hairstyles — each look more stunning than the next. Scroll through to see 12 of our favorite moments from the night.
