Kim Kardashian commanded the red carpet while attending the star-studded CFDA Fashion Awards, held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York on Monday. 

The reality TV star, 43, sizzled in a skintight Chrome Hearts halter neck black gothic gown that clung to her famous hourglass curves.

The dress featured crystal stone closure in the back, which the SKIMS founder left partly undone to show off her toned legs. 

The mother-of-four — who recently wowed at the LACMA Art+Film Gala — wore her raven tresses in a romantic messy updo, with a number of strands left to frame her face, reminiscent of a ’90s supermodel look. 

The CFDA Awards are an annual celebration of the brightest talents in the American fashion industry. The event will be hosted by Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker, 58. 

Kim’s sensational ensemble featured the brand’s iconic cross motif throughout. 

Kanye West’s ex-wife paired the sultry ensemble with clear sky-high stiletto heels. To match her dress she wore black manicure on her nails.

She wore picture-perfect glam for the occasion, consisting of delicate bronze eyeshadow and nude lipstick. 

Kim will be presenting her pal Serena Williams with the CFDA Fashion Icon Award award. Serena is the first athlete to receive the award.

Kim is a CFDA winner herself. Last year she won the inaugural fashion innovation award.

Other stars present at the event included British actress Naomi Watts, 55.

The King Kong star stunned in a black Carolina Herrera gown with a plunging neckline and with puffs out black tulle sleeves. She paired the glamorous ensemble with pointed-toe black heels.

Naomi wore her blonde tresses pinned up, with a few strands left to frame her face, and rocked red lipstick on her pout. 

While on the red carpet she posed with designer Lina Cho. Lina wore a beautiful black lace dress with open toe black heels that showed off her red pedicure.

Meanwhile model Emily Ratajkowki, 32, put on a leggy display in a sizzling white mini dress and matching mules. 

The beauty paired her outfit with a gold clutch and wore her dark tresses in bouncy locks. As for glam, Emily opted for delicate bronze eyeshadow, pink blush and nude lipstick.

Demi Moore, 60, sparkled in a sleeveless silver sequin Carolina Herrera dress, which she teamed with a black clutch and strappy heels. 

Anne Hathaway, 40, showed off her sense of style in a Ralph Lauren blue denim bustier vest, and a unique billowing skirt with a tie-dye effect and a long train – also by Ralph Lauren. 

Molly Ringwald, 55, looked red hot in a fiery one-shoulder maxi gown by Zac Posen.

The Breakfast Club star accessorized with a sparkling beaded purse and matched her dress with red lipstick.

She mingled with Posen, 43, at the event. He looked dapper as ever in a black suit and tie. 

Nicky Hilton Rothschild, 40, was the belle of the ball in a stunning red gown. The dress featured a tiered bottom and Nicky added a touch of sparkle to it with a silver vow pin.

She teamed the stylish look with a red clutch and a red bow tied to the back of her slicked back blonde bun.

German supermodel Heidi Klum’s daughter Leni Klum, 19, turned heads in a chic gown with a nude bustier-style top and fiery red bottom. 

Nina Dobrev, 34, was every inch the golden girl in a sleeveless gold sequin gown with a sizzling thigh-high slit.

The Vampire Diaries star rounded out the look with satrapy gold heels, a gold clutch, and chunky gold earrings.

She wore her raven tresses down for the night, with her bands framing her face.

Chloe Sevigny, 48, looked breathtaking in a canary yellow gown with matching yellow heels. 

Gwyneth Paltrow, 51, looked elegant as ever in a black turtleneck sweater tucked into a silk black maxi skirt with a thigh-high slit.

The blonde beauty wore her golden tresses down and lightly curled. She opted for natural glam, and accessorized with dangling crystal earrings.

Vanessa Hudgens, 34, oozed old Hollywood glamour in a statement black ballgown. The Princess Switch actress matched the dress with elbow-length black leather gloves and black heels.

She wore her black tresses slicked back for the occasion.

She posed with designer Vera Wang, 74, at the event. Vera looked fashionable as ever in a unique black and white dress.

Lola Tung, 21, was a crystal vision in a sheer crystal-embellished mini dress and champagne-toned heels. 

Rapper Saweetie, 30, rocked an unusual woven straw-hat inspired yellow dress. She teamed the dress with gold platform heels. 

Model Valentina Ferrer, 30, had all eyes on her in a revealing black gown that featured high side-slits to show off her toned legs, and round cut-outs on her sides. 

The dress featured two large white bow embellishments on the sides.

The Miss Argentina 2014 winner finalized her look with black heels, and wore her brunette tresses down. 

She was joined by partner J Balvin, 38, who looked sharp in a black suit. 

The Colombian singer sported a black bowtie and two silver earrings. 

At one point the beauty leaned down to kiss her hunky beau in front of the shutterbugs. The pair have been dating since 2018. 

Winnie Harlow, 29, put her unique style on display in a textured black polka dot gown.

The Canadian model added height to her 5′ 9″ frame with towering black chunky platform heels.

She sparkled up her outfit with a sizable necklace and matching silver dangling earrings.

Serena Williams, 42, put on a busty display in a dramatic Thom Browne black sequin gown with a train and billowing sleeves. 

The tennis champion teamed the outfit with a chunky silver necklace.

Rosario Dawson, 44, looked effortlessly chic in a minimalistic sleeveless white gown with a floral embellishment.

The Ahsoka star accessorized with a black clutch and pointed-toe heels.

Coco Rocha, 35, was the picture of sophistication in a dramatic black top and pale pink skirt with a thigh-high slit.

The Canadian model added more drama to her look with a wide brim black hat and black lipstick. She finalized the outfit with chunky pastel pink heels.

Mary J. Blige, 52, looked incredible in a sheer black and silver Christian Siriano gown. 

Henry Cavill looked dapper in a smart black tuxedo as he attended the Season 3 premiere of The Witcher in London with girlfriend Natalie Viscuso on Wednesday.

The Superman star, 40, looked sensational next to Natalie, 32, who donned a metallic black and gold maxi dress at The Now Building in Outernet.

The pair looked as loved-up as ever as they posed side-by-side for the cameras sporting their best poker faces.

Natalie raised the bar in a gorgeous thigh-high split leg with a plunging neckline that shows off her ample cleavage.

The businessman increased her height with a pair of black open-toe heels that she wore over sheer black tights.

Henry paired black slacks with a slim-fit lapel jacket and added a soft black shirt to a pair of patent leather shoes.

He completed his look with a burgundy satin pocket square and brushed his long hair back from his face.

While Natalie opted for a black sheer mesh scarf that shielded her and hung loosely at the back of her dress.

Showing off her toned shoulders, the stunner wore her long dark brown locks curled over side bangs.

She opted for a glamorous makeup palette with a luminous base and glossy lip while showcasing a smoky eyeshadow.

The couple announced they were dating via Instagram in May 2021 and have since revealed snippets of their relationship on social media.

Henry fought back tears in emotional scenes as he said a final goodbye to his The Witcher co-stars last week.

At a Netflix event in Brazil, Henry gave a farewell speech to three fellow cast members Freya Allan, Anya Chalotra and Joey Batey.

The star said: ‘Thank you so much to everyone. Thank you. I really feel the love, and I love you too. It’s wonderful to be here.’

“I really just want to talk about my co-stars here because it’s been a pleasure and an honor to work with you again.”

“You bring so much nuance and detail to these characters, which often run the risk of being too simple, and what you did with the characters took work, care, and effort.”

Henry went on to tell the trio that it was “the greatest pleasure” working with them.

He concluded: ‘So, [I] just want to say i’m going to miss you. I’m going to miss you very much.’

This series marks the Superman star’s final appearance as a beast hunter before Liam Hemsworth takes over the lead role for season four.

Earlier this month, Netflix released an action-packed trailer for the highly anticipated third season of The Witcher.

The series – recently renewed for a fifth season – will release part one of season three on June 29, and part two will stream on July 27.

He posed for photos at the event and was joined by Freya Allan, Anya Chalotra and MyAnna Buring.
