In television, Jany Temime (House of the Dragon), Colleen Atwood and Mark Sutherland (Wednesday), Amy Roberts (The Crown) and Carrie Cramer and Jason Rembert (Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls) were the night’s winners. And Natasha Newman-Thomas won for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ music video “Spitting off the Edge of the World.”

From tonight going forward though, the statuettes given out will not simply be called Costume Designers Guild awards. They now have a name, akin to the Academy Award also being called the Oscar and the Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Broadway Theatre (aka the Tony Award). As Terry Gordon, president of the Costume Designers Guild, IATSE Local 892, announced during the show, the CDGA statuette will be called The Adrian, named for legendary costume designer and guild founding member Adrian, known for creating wardrobes for such films as The Wizard of Oz, Letty Lynton and The Philadelphia Story. “Film has the Oscars, TV has the Emmys and we have the Adrian,” said Gordon. “From now going forward we will salute to Adrian.”

In addition to tonight’s competitive Adrians, four special awards were given out: Bette Midler received the distinguished collaborator award and Angela Bassett was given the spotlight award, while Oscar-winning costume designer Deborah L. Scott (Titanic, Avatar: The Way of Water) was honored with the career achievement award and Emmy-nominated costume designer Rachael M. Stanley (Ally McBeal, Sisters) received the distinguished service award.

Presenters at the Feb. 27 event — sponsored by Westfield Century City, Mercedes-Benz, Peris Costumes and Campari and produced by NVE Experience Agency — included Billy Crystal, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever nominee Ruth E. Carter, Hocus Pocus 2 nominee Salvador Perez, IATSE president Matthew Loeb, costume designer Michael Kaplan, producer Jon Landau, Monica Barbaro, Elizabeth Debicki, Nazanin Boniadi, Austin Butler, Greg Tarzan Davis, Ashley Park, Lewis Pullman, Christina Ricci and Hunter Schafer.

Among the stars wearing standout looks on the red carpet were Cate Blanchett, who wore a Balmain suit with exaggerated shoulders and attended in support of Tár nominee Bina Daigeler, Ashley Park in an electric blue dress, and Bassett in a black-and-red outfit worn with a bow-topped hat.
