Awards season isn\u2019t over yet.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday evening, the Fashion Trust U.S.<\/a> hosted its fourth annual awards ceremony celebrating emerging designers. The dress code, elusively: \u201cFashion.\u201d<\/p>\n

In West Hollywood, a mix of faces \u2014 actors, musicians, influencers and athletes, both seasoned and young \u2014 lined the red carpet (that was actually pink) in their own interpretations of the theme. In L.A., style is unique because it is miscellaneous. There is no better city to embody a dynamic prompt like \u201cfashion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Kali <\/p>\n

The carpet saw big names like Kali Uchis in Vlora Mustafa, Lake Bell in Rick Owens, Chrissy Teigen in Balenciaga, Bethenny Frankel in Valentino and Emma Chamberlain in Mugler, alongside fresh designs by the nights\u2019 16 finalists.<\/p>\n

Kelechukwu Mpamaugo<\/a>, a finalist in the graduate category, wore her high school prom dress. \u201cIt\u2019s the first design I ever made, before I even went into fashion,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve only worn it once, so why not?\u201d<\/p>\n

The fishtail halter dress, made from an African wax Akara fabric picked out by Mpamaugo\u2019s mother, was a medley of shapes, patterns and colors. \u201cIt\u2019s giving Afro-futurism,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Keith Herron, a finalist in the ready-to-wear category, was head-to-toe in Advisry<\/a>, his own brand. Fashion, to him, is simply waking up and getting dressed. \u201cHopefully I\u2019m on theme,\u201d he says, \u201cI wore clothes today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Josefina Baill\u00e8res<\/a>, a finalist in the jewelry category who took home the award later that night, wore a simple mesh tunic. On her neck sat a hand-carved quartz crystal in the shape of the Virgin Mary. Encased in blue chalcedony, set with diamonds and hung from a black silk ribbon, the piece is a contemporary interpretation of Baill\u00e8res\u2019 Mexican heritage. To her, jewelry completes any look as \u201cthe cherry on top.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"Josefina <\/p>\n

The ceremony honored achievements in fashion across several categories including ready-to-wear, jewelry, accessories, graduate design and sustainability. Winners took home a shared grant of $600,000 and will receive ongoing mentorship from Fashion Trust U.S. and Google.<\/p>\n

Tory Burch won designer of the year, presented by her longtime friend Pamela Anderson. While Mich\u00e8le Lamy, who was FaceTiming husband Rick Owens during the ceremony, was recognized for lifetime achievement in design and culture, and accompanied on stage by Travis Scott and Erykah Badu, who called her \u201cthe poster child for avant-garde, for exceptional freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bobby Kim<\/a>, recently named global creative director of Disney and a judge on the Fashion Trust U.S. 2026 advisory board, was excited to see the work of emerging designers. \u201cI\u2019m here to listen to their stories,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd get some direction on where the future of fashion is headed.\u201d He wore KidSuper, who he called the epitome of art. \u201cFashion is art, anyways,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
