It seems like we haven’t talked this much about Mandy Moore since the early aughts when she was breaking our hearts in A Walk to Remember playing a (*15 Year Old Spoiler Alert*) high school student dying from Leukemia, and making us bust a move with pop sensations like “Candy.” But thanks to the new smash hit TV show This Is Us, Moore has made her return to the red carpet, most recently wowing at the Golden Globes in a very daring Naeem Khan gown with a deep, plunging neckline. And now she’s set to make another glamorous red carpet turn as the host of the Costume Designers Guild Awards.

For those unfamiliar with the CDGA, the ceremony is a means of celebrating excellence in film, television, and short-form costume design. The nominees are then voted on by the members of the Guild, which include more than 900 Costume Designers and Illustrators working in motion pictures, television, commercials, music videos, and new media programs the world over. The event will take place on February 21 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

This year, Meryl Streep will receive the Distinguished Collaborator Award, while Jeffrey Kurland will receive the Career Achievement Award for his legendary work on films such as Hannah and Her Sisters, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Inception, and the forthcoming Dunkirk. Illustrator Lois DeArmond will receive the Distinguished Service Award and Costume Designer Ret Turner will be posthumously inducted into the Guild’s Hall of Fame.

But they’re not the only ones who will be receiving awards at the event, there’s also a range of interesting nominees who are up for honors, from B. Åkerlund who is behind Beyoncé’s “Hold Up” to the woman bringing you all of those dystopian sci-fi cowboy looks in Westworld:
