Winnie Harlow Backs Designer Kate Barton in Coordinated Metallic Looks at the 2024 CFDA Awards Red Carpet

Supermodel Winnie Harlow attended the 2024 CFDA Awards, held Monday night at New York City’s American Museum of Natural History. The evening included a red carpet and cocktail reception, followed by a gala dinner that honored both emerging and established designers across various categories.

Harlow wore a gown by designer and longtime friend Kate Barton, a 2024 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist. Her ensemble featured a corset-style bodice in a metallic silver front, a signature of Barton’s paired with a voluminous light blue skirt. The gown’s reflective bodice and flowing skirt presented a balance of structure and fluidity. Harlow accessorized with a diamond choker.
