Dove Cameron wearing a gold bustier and black velvet Carolina Herrera gown at the 2025 CFDA Awards

On November 3, 2025, the actress and singer arrived at New York City’s American Museum of Natural History in a show-stopping Carolina Herrera gown that blended opulence with sculptural restraint.

Her ensemble featured a strapless metallic-embroidered gold bustier top, gleaming under the lights, paired with a black velvet skirt that extended into a fluid train. The striking contrast between the gilded bodice and rich velvet drape transformed the classic red carpet formula into a modern couture statement.

To heighten the vintage allure, Cameron styled the look with black velvet opera gloves—also by Carolina Herrera—and Christian Louboutin Sandaloo platform sandals, which peeked through the gown’s hem with polished precision. Her accessories were minimal, allowing the play of textures and the cinematic silhouette to command full attention.

Cameron’s hair was swept into a sleek bun, while her makeup featured a soft golden glow and winged eyeliner, echoing the gown’s golden tones. The result was timeless and regal—a blend of old Hollywood elegance and avant-garde couture that perfectly captured the CFDA Awards’ spirit of fashion artistry.
