The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards Gala

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?

Fashion Recap: Fashion Rocks 2008!

Strike a pose, there's nothing to it

Soooo, did Fashion Rocks rock your world? Personally, I was waiting for a performance on par with Mary J. and Usher, who KILLED it last year, but alas, it wasn't to be. I was entertained for the most part (Thank God for the fast forward button) and it was such fun gawking at all the fashion hits and misses...let's rezshujsh shall we?

Lil Miss Good Girl Turned Bad opened the show, and although she looked as gorgeous as usual, the performance was kind of a snore. I mean, I've done better vogues drunk in a gay club on a Saturday night.
afasd
Luckily, her origami inspired red carpet look didn't disappoint. I have questions about her hair but let's move on to greener pastures...

CHARLIZE! With every beat of my heart and bat of my falsies, I live and breathe for Ms. Theron. She is always sooo devastatingly chic and glamorous. Shall we count the ways? 1) Chunky statement necklace, 2) Opened-toed booties, 3) Skin-tight leggings, 4) Shiny all over. Check, check, check, and check.

Can we tawk about Beyonce as Etta? Did you love it or hate it? I have a feeling there are strong opinions on either side. I personally thought she looked absolutely fabulous in her perfectly vintage dress and amaaaazing emerald earrings.



Her 70's fish-scaled one-piece on the other hand? Ummm...I really loved the top of it, especially the plunging V and puffed-up shoulders. The bell bottoms were a bit much for me, definitely something only Beyonce could pull that off. In positive news, wasn't it refreshing how natural and toned down her makeup and hair were?


I've decided that Fergie looks like a Muppet. That's all.

LL came out looing all kinds of dapper in his smoking jacket. To complete the look, that mike should really be a cigar, or a Dutch, you know whatever your pleasure. Yep, he'd still get wiped down.

First question: Who da hell is Duffy? Second question: Why does she look 45? Is she 45?

Mary J. looked FAN-tastic during performance! She is good for some leggings and some thigh- highs, isn't she? The cream looked great on her, her hair is the right color, she just betta work.
Her red carpet look? Meh.

You know how Posh Becks is all about "That Extra Half an Inch?" Well for Mimi-la, it's all about that extra half a dress! It worked wonders! She actually looks like a grown up lady for once in life. Shout out to whoever snatched the scissors from her hand when she tried to turn this dress into booty shorts.


Now Tyra, you know I love you, but has Halloween come early for you? Please tone down the scary face, and hair for that matter. The dress is cool but if it was in black, she would totally be giving me Elvira.

PCD. I love them. And yes, I am ashamed. My therapist knows and we are working through it.


Solange the Hedgehog continued her reign of terror as "Celebrity Sister Most Likely to Inspire a 'Why Lord?'" on the red carpet.

However, in happier news, I thoroughly enjoyed her performance. Like she actually worked it. I was proud. And the dress worked for her cuz she's Solange and she's just wierd enough to pull it off. Did you see the shoes she was stomping around in? Fierce.



Worst Dressed: The honors go to your friend and mine, Lil Mama. Would she have it any other way? I can't with her. Seriously, Lil Mama take your top hat and bat wings and fly away home already.

Best Dressed: Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl! She was divine in this colorblocked grecian gown. She looks her age but so sophisticated at the same time. The colors coral and purple are definitely on trend and the hair and makeup are the perfect accent. Good for you, girl!

Until next time, honeybunches, stay fab!

Fashion Recap: 2008 MTV Movie Awards

The MTV Movie Awards popped off last night at Universal Studios in La La Land, and the celebs were out to sashay the gold carpet in style. Let the judgment commence! First, I thought Paris looked quite fetch. The hair, the makeup and the dress are old school glam but at the same time, just bubblegum enough to be quintessential Paris.

Perfection! Love the turtleneck mini with daring white ankle boots. Puh-leeze tell me that you all went to see SATC this weekend! In a word...amaaazing. I laughed, I cried, I drooled over all the delicious fashion...definitely a must see.

Our favorite fug kept it simple in an LBD. A little sun wouldn't hurt but she's looking good with the longer hair!


Ew. I'm just not into LL. There's just something so...vulgar about her. Sorry boo.

Megan Fox's gorgeousness was almost enough to distract me from the fact that her dress, clutch and shoes are all working against each other. What's up with that?

I think LC's dress is my favorite. It hugs her curves and shows just enough skin.

Looks like Audrina "Dead Eyes" Patridge is trying out bangs. Good for her.

Heidi is perfecting her porn star look in a Herve Leger bandage dress.

This dress is not the most flattering on Whitney, from this angle she looks majorly boxy.


Anne Hathaway chose a super sophisticated one-shouldered dress that is oh so diva-esque.


Love her! Charlize is working the corset, pencil leg pants and gladiator heels like an Amazonian goddess.

I understand she's not a girly girl, but Ellen Page should take some style notes from Charlize re: wearing pants to an event.

I really like this look on Jennifer Hudson...very cute. And yes, that's her bra.

Liv Tyler is pretty in pink in a ruched dress with black pumps.

Who's your fave?
