2010 CFDA Awards

Who: The Council of Fashion Designers of America
What: The "Oscars of Fashion" presenting awards and scholarships
Where: Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center NYC


Womenswear Designer of the Year Marc Jacobs presented by Jessica Biel (in DVF)
Jessica is getting a little flack for this dress but I love it. I really believe a dress doesn't have to be super fitted to be incredibly chic.


Menswear Designer of the Year Rag and Bone's David Neville and Marcus Wainwright presented by Anthony Mackie
This one surprised me but in a good way. Much deserved. They are a great company and I've heard wonderful things about how they are to work with.


Accessory Designer of the Year Alexis Bittar (with Iris Apfel in Balenciaga) presented by Dakota Fanning in Marchesa.
Alexis looks the epitome of fierce. I have a few of her accessories from vintage stores and I get so many compliments. Beautiful. What do you think about Dakota Fanning's dress? I feel like we've seen it before.



Ed Westwick and Alexa Chung (in Marc Jacobs) presented the Swarovski Awards for Emerging Talent to (from left) Jason Wu for Womenswear, Richard Chai for Menswear, and Alexander Wang for Accessory
Ed is yummy. His suit fits him beautifully. Alexa's dress is awesome and the shoes? Perfection. They are so different. I want them. I love all the winners here! It almost seems like they aren't "emerging." They're there!

Anna Wintor presented Michael Kors with the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award. (Daughter Bee Shaffer is in Thakoon.)
Anna is just Anna but I'm loving Bee's print of that dress. And the style is amazing on her. I wish she'd done something with her hair though. I guess she's trying to do the "signature" thing like her mom. Is Kors old enough for Lifetime Achievement?

Sarah Jessica Parker honored designer and friend Alexander McQueen (wearing a dress by him.)
I'm coveting this dress and this COLOR more than anything. SJP is still the queen.


Donna Karen, wearing her own design, presented Christopher Bailey with the International Award. Bailey is seen here with Burberry's Angela Ahrendts.
At first I kind of hated Karen's dress. The color and the crazy amount of material is growing on me. I'm really happy Chrisopher Bailey won this award. He SO deserves it.

Fashion Director of Vogue, Tonne Goodman, won the Eleanor Lambert Award presented by Caroline Kennedy. She wore Michael Kors.
This isn't a big surprise to me that she won but still nice, as is her ensemble.


Brooke Shields, in J. Mendel, presented Paper Magazine's founding editor and publisher Kim Hastreiter the Eugenia Sheppard Award for excellence in journalism.
A self proclaimed "outsider," Kim is one of the most talented, and cool, people in the business. I would give my left leg to work with her. Brooke looks fine.


Isabella Rossellini, here with Francois Nars, presented Iman with the Fashion Icon award.
POWER COUPLE. Enough said.


Doutzen Kroes, in Michael Kors, presented the Popular Vote award to Ralph Lauren.
Really? Most popular vote? Not very exciting. Doutzen is though. She ROCKS. Look at her body!

Some of my favorites were also there:

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, in their line The Row, with Sasha Pivovarova, also in The Row.

Zac Posen with Devon Aoki in a dress by the designer.

Lara Stone in Calvin Klein Collection with Francisco Costa.
Lara just became the new Kate Moss as the exclusive face of Calvin Klein!!

Uber-hot Zachary Quinto with Simon Spurr wearing a suit by the designer.

Diane Von Furstenburg, in her own design
She told the audience, "The CFDA premotes diversity and health. I beg you to remember that when you're planning your next show." Love her.

The Rodarte girls Kate and Laura Mulleavy

Blake Mycoskie, wearing the cutest Toms, and John Whitledge.


Who is your best dressed? I vote Doutzen and SJP!

MTV Movie Awards: Red Carpet Part 1

Remember when the MTV Movie Awards were a huge deal? It was always on Sunday night and I always stayed up way too late and was so tired on Monday. Now, it's pretty boring (or I'm pretty old.) There is the beautiful Robert Pattinson (although I AM Team Jacob) and Christina and Katy performances. There's also the clothes! It's MTV so I love to see people get a little crazy. Let's take a look at some of the first arrivals.

BEST DRESSED maybe? I'm obsessed with this Zac Posen dress on Anna Kendrick. The shoes rock with it but I'm not feeling the hair. It's supposed to be bed-head and it looks really dirty.

Whenever I see Scarlett Johansson looking amazing, in Dolce and Gabbana, it makes me want to go back blonde. Stunning!

I LOVE Nikki Reid's Miu Miu dress and her two-toned hair is so pretty.

Hottie Mark Salling could have tried a harder. The Superdry shirt is cute but it IS a red carpet, man. Dress up a little.

YES. Thanks Christina for bringing a little MTV crazy. Her chain-linked dress in Versace Atelier.



*Thanks Just Jared for the awesome pictures!*

SATC2: Red Carpet

The best part of Sex and the City for me has always been the fashion. I know it's supposed to be all "girl-power," blah, blah blah (it's really the opposite of feminist but that's another post.) I don't know if I want to actually see the movie; can someone take pictures of all the outfits for me instead? I think it would be a little obnoxious if I went to the theatre just to take snap shots. Anyway, let's check out the clothes from the premiere and tell me who your best dressed is!

Kim Cattrall in Naeem Khan and Sarah Jessica Parker in Valentino.
Kim looks STUNNING-OMG her body? Unreal. SJP's is growing on me a little. I wasn't sure at first. The neon is on trend and different and the shape gives her some curves. Do you like her new extra blonde hair?

If you would have told me that a strapless bubble gum pink dress would be my favorite of the night, I would have never believed you but this stress is beautiful. It fits her body to perfection and the hair and make-up is right on.

Cynthia Nixon in Carolina Herrera
I really wish she would stand up straight but I'm a big fan of her and this dress. It suits her, don't you think?

I know don't who Vanessa Williams is wearing but I think she looks hot. Doesn't she always?

Jennifer Love Hewitt is obviously at the premiere and obviously in Herve Leger. Boring. Her body looks beyond awesome but it's just all so...obvious. And her bangs make me want to grow mine out. Sorry.

Super cutie Gabby Sidibe might as well be going to hang out at the mall. Step it up, girl!

I really liked this Black Willow sheer jumpsuit on the runway (Fall 2010) but it doesn't look right on Jessica Szohr. The chunky shoes aren't working and the pants need to be hemmed.

Smile Michelle Tractenberg! You look really pretty in your Notte by Marchesa dress!

The queen of SATC-Patricia Field

LIZA! Thank you for wearing all silver.

I like Amanda Peet's Isabel Marant dress and Prada heels. P.S. I need to learn how to stand like that in pictures, without breaking my ankle.

WTF is Ashanti wearing. And wear is Ja Rule?

I LOVE Becki Newton's Celine jacket but where are her pants?

I feel like I had to put this in because, I mean, she IS the author and without Candace Bushnell, there would be no SATC. She's wearing Miu Miu Spring 2010 and it's pretty enough but the top doesn't look like it goes with the bottom.

Super delish shoe designer (and boyfriend of Nate Berkus) Brian Atwood

John Corbett

Chris Noth and his beautiful girlfriend (Have you seen their baby? OMG)

One of my favorite designers ever, Zac Posen

Johnny Weir!

The After Party! Kristen Davis is in Pierre Balmain Couture and SJP is in Elie Saab
Which do you like better?
