Emily Blunt to Host 2021 CFDA Fashion Awards

The annual CFDA Awards are one of the most famous nights in fashion. Industry insiders from all sectors came together to honor the season’s best design talent, while also highlighting culturally relevant ones. Making his comeback in person officially since the start of the pandemic, the CFDA has asked the ever-advancing Emily Blunt to host this year’s event, and according to iconic designer and longtime chairman of the organization, Tom Ford, it fits.

“Emily is one of the most talented actresses in the world. Its timeless style and elegance illuminates any room,” explains Ford of asking Quiet place stars to lend his talent to the night. “The great thing about Emily is that she is kind and intelligent. I really admire him, and I’m so excited to have him host this year’s CFDA awards show.”

The guest list includes nominees Christopher John Rogers, Telfar Clemens of Telfar, and Peter Do. Other fan favorites include Daniel Lee for Bottega Veneta, Raf Simons and Miuccia Prada for Prada, and Demna Gvasalia for Balenciaga. CFDA CEO Steven Kolb said he was excited about all the new talent coming from the United States. “We are excited to see some talented names among the nominees for the first time,” he said. “American fashion is experiencing a new energy, and these designers are playing an important role in the future trajectory of our industry.”

In addition to honoring top fashion talent, it was announced that red carpet experts Anya Taylor-Joy and Zendaya will receive the inaugural Face of the Year and CFDA Fashion Icon 2021 awards, respectively. Not surprising, considering the two have produced the same look, with the help of drawing architect Law Roach. The third new category for 2021 is the Positive Social Influence Award, which will be awarded to the Model Alliance. This nonprofit was founded by Sara Ziff in 2012 to protect the rights of models and help create a safer workplace—long before the #MeToo movement.
