On Monday night in New York, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund had it's fifth annual gala, designer Alexander Wang took top honors (winning $200,000 and a year's worth of mentoring), and the fashionistas were out to celebrate it all.Charlize Theron is definitely deserving of my top honors for the night, after making a chic arrival in black strapless Christian Dior Fall 2008 Couture with sequin draping and a sheer skirt. Loving the studded sandals too!
I almost spit out my Hot Toddy when I came across this picture. One moment I'm enjoying the lusciousness of Charlize in this dress and all of a sudden a mystery elf appears. So jarring! But no worries, punkins, it's just John Galliano (of Dior, darling) who was there as the keynote speaker of the event. Yes, he dresses like this all the time and no, that's no excuse.
Everyone's model of the moment, Agyness Deyn, showed up in a suit, hat, bra and ferocious red platforms by Alejandro Ingelmo.
Hot girl Chanel Iman chose a more masculine tailored suit from the Daughters by Obedient Sons Fall 2008 Collection. The black fur stole nicely completes her look.
Tennis goddess Maria Sharapova rocked a chocolate brown mini dress (that almost looks like a tennis dress) and strappy sandals.
Juliette Lewis shined in a belted, silver-sequined 3.1 Phillip Lim jumpsuit, which I would totally love to own. I'd wear it everywhere until it fell apart at the seams and then I'd turn it into the gayest throw pillow ever.
Jennifer Morrison (I don't know who she is either) chose a black and white Giambattista Valli Spring 2009 princess dress. Cute.
Aha! Blake Lively! I know her! But what praytell is she wearing? I'm disappointed. All the fabulous fashion at her fingertips and she chooses an unflattering Vena Cava Fall 2007 maxi dress. You live, you learn.
Fashion designer Tory Burch posed in a gold and black velvet YSL Fall 2008 dress and grey clutch. Hmmm, something here is not quite right. And I think it's the dress. It seems to be overshadowing her. Darling, never let a dress wear you!
Erin Fetherson wore a floral maxi dress from her own Fall 2008 collection. The boots are not working for me. Matter of fact, neither is the dress.
Hey Vera! Ms. Wang wore her signature bare face, a beautifully detailed dress and navy shrug. I like.
The loveable Diane von Furstenberg wore a sequined original from her own Fall 2008 collection, featuring a fun feathered hem.
Model Coco Rocha made her black Gucci Resort 2009 dress look even more ethnic by accessorizing with a gold turban.
Anna, Anna, Fabulous Anna, Anna Wintour, she's so outrageous! Here she is wearing a printed top and skirt from the Marni Spring 2009 collection. Nice tights. Her daughter, Bee Schaffer looks young and fresh in a Thakoon Spring 2009 frock and nude sandals.
Mr. Vogue himself, Andre Leon Talley, arrived in his signature ALT style. Would you expect anything less?
Model Doutzen Kroes wore one of Herve Leger's practically legendary banded dresses with a stunning necklace.
Liya Kebede looks beat. Yikes, what happened, boo?Thanks RCFA for pics and links!
