Slideshow: Best Dressed at the 2011 CFDA Awards
To corrupt a line from Who What Wear Daily: I don’t care who you are, I just care what you wear! Here are the best looks from the CFDA Awards red carpet on men and women – not just who wore it, but which designer they wore, whenever the information is available. The standouts were not just celebrities like Naomi Watts and Gerard Butler, but fashion industry insiders like Michelle Parker, Hal Rubenstein and Linda Fargo.

Lady Gaga, CFDA Awards 2011 Red Carpet

Needless to say, the most anticipated arrival of last night’s CFDA Awards was Lady Gaga. What would she wear? By Gaga standards, her custom-made black Thierry Mugler dress was on the tame side – form fitting, with a huge tulle train – but the studded bodice was pure Gaga. She also pulled off the impressive feat of walking the red carpet in 24-inch platform wedges – with grace, all the way.

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2009
Satin, sequins and girly glamour ruled at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show – and not just on the runway. Celebs like Fergie, in a strapless red sheath, and Keri Hilson, in a backless number, brought sexy back to the red carpet in New York last night. On other well-dressed guests, short hemlines ruled, and embellishments like lace, feathers, and metallics added to the glam rock feel.

Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas makes an entrance. The first thing we saw of her was her very sparkly shoe. (more…)
Street Chic and Red Carpet: The September Issue Premiere
After her former assistant wrote the bestselling tell-all novel The Devil Wears Prada, which went on to become a hit film, you’d think the last thing Anna Wintour would invite into her office would be more prying eyes. Yet here we are, several years later, witnessing the reigning queen of fashion expose the formerly-clandestine inner workings of Vogue. It goes to show you that the only constant in fashion is change. RJ Cutler’s documentary on the fashion mag, The September Issue, is already getting lots of good buzz from those who’ve seen the advance release, which is not surprising given the tantalizing trailer. Wintour gamely decided to make a party of it with a screening at MoMA followed by a dinner hosted by Oscar de la Renta. She arrived with Sienna Miller, seen here in blue Thakoon. And on Anna Wintour?
Prada, of course.

Street Chic (and Red Carpet): 2009 CFDA Awards
When the fashion world brings a Hollywood date to an awards ceremony, the glamour quotient is extreme. This was black tie dressing at its best and most tricky, since the skies alternately threatened rain or just plain mugginess. But both the male and female guests pulled it off with aplomb, playing with hemlines (of both trousers and dresses) and reinterpreting what “black tie” means for 2009.
The “muse” theme of this year’s CFDA Awards (Council of Fashion Designers of America) encouraged designers to bring someone who inspires them as a date. You could almost imagine them designing clothes with a specific beautiful woman in mind.
It also meant that the women were accompanied by designers for this fashion event, not their husbands/significant others, who stayed at home. Everybody wins! (more…)
