In 2015, power couples Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West and Pharrell Williams and Helen Lasichanh hit the red carpet together. Kardashian West turned heads in a head-to-toe Proenza Schouler look, while West opted for Yeezy Boost 350s in the original Turtle Dove colorway.
Rihanna brought us perhaps one of the most memorable CFDA fashion moments of all time. The singer and designer wore a sheer, sparkling Adam Selman dress paired with simple gold sandals. She topped off the look with a matching cap and white fur stole.
In 2012, the event’s host, Seth Meyers, got some laughs when he spoofed Marc Jacobs’ Met Gala lace dress ensemble, complete with black loafers.
Lady Gaga and Daphne Guinness both wore gravity defying heel-less platforms in 2011.
