CFDA Fashion Awards
The CFDA awards are great because people go to celebrate fashion and the designers who dream up this crazy stuff. There is less fear of the E! News worst dressed list and way less red carpet noise from movie stars. Since the dress code lines are a little blurry it’s always a good mix of glamorous gowns, cocktail dresses and casual duds. Point is, people have fun with their outfits. Still, there were some looks I loved and some I… less than loved. So here we are with my judgements of people prettier than I am in dresses that cost more than my anual rent (which is a lot). I actually wasn’t going to do the worst dressed analysis but since so many of you liked my snarky commentary from the Met Gala I’m back for round 2 of being a jerk. Enablers!
BEST
Doutzen Kroes: By no means is this dress some mythical creature the world has never before seen but I applaud the shoe choice. Had this been any other hollywood award ceremony her stylist would have put her in some run of the mill red or black pumps and called it a day. The booties and the smokey eye makeup give the look a little bit of edge.
Marcia Cross: I hardly even mind that her middle aged cleavage is spilling out because I am so distracted by the shine of this killer sequin jumpsuit. If you told me her body was dipped into glue and sequins I might believe it because it’s a mystery how she got sequins- which have ZERO stretching abilities- to fit so well.
Kristen Dunst: I’m glad someone wore a lady tux. And with blue lapels to boot. I also dig her casual hair and makeup look that keep the androgyny alive.
Naomi Watts: There isn’t really a reason to like this as much as I do but all gold everything is a nice look for a blonde.
WORST
Emmanuelle Chirqui had a trail of yellow toilet paper coming out of her dress. Whitney Port was hoping someone would propose and whisk her off to Las Vegas for an impromptu wedding. Maggie Rizer was going to go with Whitney to Vegas and start her night shift serving cocktails at the casino. Leigh Lezark… I don’t really hate your mustard dress I’m just upset that you have bangs now. I have to assume that Sessilee Lopez pulled her dress from the reject section of the Project Runway workroom. And Lady Gaga. Oh, Lady Gaga. I cannot stand to see your ass even one more time. Your platform shoes? Yeah, we didn’t forget that you ate shit in them. So you can keep wearing them to try to come back from that tumble and prove that you can actually walk in them but it won’t matter because we all know that V. Beckham wore them YEARS before you did anyway. You’ve been served.
