5 Looks From the Most Unique Red Carpet of the Year

Last night, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists and industry insiders gathered at NYC's Spring Studios for the 13th annual gala and awards. Husband-wife design duo Laura Vassar and Kristopher Brock of Brock Collection took home top honors (and a cool $400,000 cash prize), and the red carpet might have been one the best we've seen.
From A-list ladies like Zendaya and Solange Knowles to fashion It girls like Dree Hemingway and Martha Hunt, the attendees all proved that the CFDA/VFF red carpet is all about standout style. "I honestly feel like the dress chose me," Zendaya tells Vogue of her cut-out embroidered Michael Kors Collection gown. "I put it on and knew this was the one." Meanwhile, Dree Hemingway stood out in a tomboy-inspired look, complete with an oversize NBA pullover. Bold colors and fabrics were aplenty, fashion statements were made, and unique style took over the red carpet last night—and we're all for it.
Check out our five favorite looks from the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fun gala below.
