Jenna Lyons, star of The Real Housewives of New York City, stole the spotlight at the 2023 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City on Monday with her edgy suit and statement accessories. This comes just days after she wowed fans at BravoCon.
Known for her impeccable fashion sense, Lyons opted for a well-fitted black suit that showcased her signature style. She paired it with eye-catching accessories, including a lime green bag and white flats. To complete the look, she wore her go-to frames and a bold red lip for a pop of color.
Lyons made a name for herself in the fashion industry while serving as the creative director and president of J.Crew. She dressed A-list celebrities like Michelle Obama before leaving the brand in 2017. Since joining the cast of RHONY earlier this year, Lyons has continued to make an impact on the cultural scene.
Not afraid to push the boundaries, Lyons recently made a fashion statement at the RHONY reunion by wearing jeans, which is typically a gown-worthy affair. She posted a video on Instagram, captioned yes, I wore jeans and I am not sorry. Lyons paired the jeans with a black Saint Laurent jacket, a sheer Thom Browne button-down, a black Saint Laurent tie, Dries Van Noten heels, Ultimate Diamond jewels, and her brown glasses.
While some fans praised her bold choice, others expressed surprise, with one commentator comparing her look to an American eagles jeans campaign. However, Lyons appeared unfazed, sharing the comment on her Instagram story.
This is not the first time Lyons has turned heads with her fashion choices. She made a statement at Solange Knowles’ 2014 wedding in a feathered gown and rocked another feathered ensemble at the 2017 CFDA Fashion Awards.
The CFDA Fashion Awards, hosted by the Council of Fashion Designers of America, is an annual industry event that attracts a star-studded audience. This year, the awards ceremony is hosted by Anne Hathaway, and notable attendees include Serena Williams, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kim Kardashian, and Demi Moore.
Jenna Lyons continues to be a fashion trailblazer, captivating the industry with her unique sense of style. Whether it’s a chic suit or daring jeans, she effortlessly commands attention and leaves a lasting impression.
