Proenza Schouler brought a unique spin on contemporary elegance to the CFDA Fashion Awards at the American Museum of Natural History on Monday, dressing Hari Nef, Rebecca Hall, and Molly Gordon. Each woman brought something distinct to the table.
Hari Nef wore a Proenza Schouler Phia black leather dress with delicate silk fringe, a minimalist, yet powerful piece from the Spring 2025 collection. Known for her bolder looks—particularly her recent “more-is-more” Valentino aesthetic—Hari’s choice here was a welcomed departure. This stripped-back style felt refreshing.
Then there was Rebecca Hall, whose fashion choices I usually champion. However, this Proenza Schouler Emin dress with trousers veered a bit too close to daytime attire. The pairing, combined with perforated slingback flats, leaned toward a more casual vibe, plus I’m struggling with how the cream and white combination clashed rather than coordinated. While each element had potential, together they felt better suited to a photocall or luncheon than an awards ceremony.
Nak Armstrong jewelry completed her look.
Molly Gordon—quickly becoming one-to-watch in her own right—chose a cobalt blue Proenza Schouler Jackie dress from the Spring 2025 collection. This piece embodies exactly the kind of sleek, confident style I love. Paired with matching cobalt sandals, her look felt cohesive, and fresh. This is an outfit I’d wear in a heartbeat.
