BJ Pascual Attends the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York

BJ Pascual has marked yet another milestone in his career.

Following his debut at last year’s CFDA Fashion Awards, the celebrity photographer returned to the Big Apple for this year's ceremony. Once again, he was invited to shoot the portraits of the esteemed guests—including the likes of Ciara, Mandy Moore, Saweetie, Vera Wang, Nina Dobrev, and more.

Aside from setting up a portrait studio at the event, he also made a stylish appearance on the red carpet, garbed in an outfit that perfectly reflected his sharp creative sensibilities.

Always forward and directional with his sense of style, BJ opted for an all-black number this year.

Styled by Izzy Tuason of The Dandy Project, he arrived in a vintage Helmut Lang top, lined with feathers all over. The tactile top was paired with black satin cargo pants by Rick Owens, whose relaxed, wide-leg cut and high-shine finish introduced a utilitarian contrast to the feathery texture above.

As for his glam, BJ went for a look that matched his edgy and fashion-forward ensemble.

Masterfully done by Thazzia Falek, BJ’s skin was finished with a soft matte base, his lids shaded with smoked taupe and onyx tones that accentuated his eyes, and his lips dusted with a subtle rose tint. To tie the whole look together, his hair was styled into a sleek mullet with a defined side part.

The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA)'s annual Fashion Awards is often dubbed the "Oscars" of the fashion industry. Each year, the event honors the designers, creatives, and visionaries shaping the course of American fashion.

Beyond its red carpet spectacle and high-profile guestlist, the awards serve as a platform that celebrates innovation, craftsmanship, and cultural impact—making it an avenue for global recognition for both established and emerging names in the field.
