Tonight at the CFDA Awards in New York, there were a handful of stylish celebrity couples in attendance, the most high-profile being J-Rod (Jennifer Lopez, who received the Fashion Icon award, and Alex Rodriguez). But before J-Rod closed out the red carpet in style, another fashion-forward duo undeniably stole the spotlight this evening: that’s Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert, both dressed in Thom Browne.
Taylor, a singer, and Shumpert, a professional basketball player, chose complementary looks that were not at all your expected his-and-hers getups. They did two takes on suiting. Taylor wore a pinstriped tuxedo jacket with long tails, printed all over with sketches of florals. She wore it with black trousers, a teeny-tiny handbag, and pointed lace-up oxford heels. As for Shumpert? He left the traditional suit at home in favor of one of Browne’s signatures: the shorts suit, his top half a cape-style jacket instead of a blazer. He styled it with a white button-up, leather combat boots, and tube socks.
So, while the evening’s best dressed couple may not be an official CFDA award, it’s at least official who left as the night’s winning duo. Unclear what’s stronger: their love for each other or their shared fashion game.
