The story
The 2026 CFDA Fashion Awards are scheduled for November 2 at the American Museum of Natural History, with Keke Palmer as host. The CFDA confirmed those details in its October 9 report on a gathering for nominees and honorees.
That earlier event took place on October 8 in New York. Attendees included womenswear nominees Michael Kors, Rachel Scott and Wes Gordon, alongside designers nominated in other categories.
Why it is on our calendar: an awards shortlist is a useful introduction to the people and labels being discussed across American fashion. It also offers a reason to look beyond a single runway image and explore a designer’s wider work.
As of this briefing, the November ceremony has not taken place. This article reports confirmed plans rather than award results. Follow the CFDA’s official coverage for subsequent announcements.
