Red Carpet - CFDA Fashion Awards 2014

Red Carpet Roundup
The CFDA Awards 2014

The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) held their annual awards evening in New York last night, with a studded lineup of designers, models and celebrities in attendance. This is the roundup of last nights most prominent looks, minus the scandalous gown worn by Rihanna, which is still giving me hives. Please click on each image for a larger view.

Cut It Out 

Jessica Stam looked polished in a white peplum suit with keyhole cut neckline by Guilietta. Joan Smalls had all eyes on her sultry midnight hue chiffon cut-out gown by Prabal Gurung. Keri Russell donned a black and white plunge-neck gown by Rosie Assoulin which features a mint draped scarf around the bodice. Jennifer Hudson was elegantly dressed in a black one-shouldered Kaufman Franco gown.

After Dark

Olivia Palermo brought her unique sense of style to the event in an Ann Taylor ensemble with fringed skirt and feathered Aquazurra heels. Olivia Wilde also went fringed, in a one-shouldered gown by Decades Vintage. The Olsen twins matched up in roomy black looks from their own label, The Row. Chanel Iman was exquisitely fitted in a long-sleeved beaded Monique Lhuillier gown.

Flaired Affair

Bridget Moynahan wears a radiant orchid strapless sweetheart neck satin ballgown by Lela Rose. Emmy Rossum's olive green dress with black beaded tulle neckline and layered pleated skirt is by J.Mendel. Heidi Klum was swept away in an apricot halter neck kaftan dress by Donna Karan. Beth Behrs was brightly decked in a Kelly green cropped top and full high-low skirt by Alice + Olivia.

Short on Formalities

Zoey Deutch looked chic in this teal and black floral painted Rebecca Minkoff fit-and-flair dress. Kate Foley was patterned in a blue and white high-neck Suno midi dress with Louboutin heels. Blake Lively showed off her pins in a pink and sage green sequined scallop-hemmed mini dress by Michael Kors, along with pink suede Casadei pumps. Anna Chlumsky wore an ice blue floral skirt & white printed cropped top by Cynthia Rowley.

Model Behaviour

Coco Rocha's dramatic black and white off the shoulder gown with sequined mermaid skirt is by Christian Siriano. Dree Hemingway was safari chic in a paneled animal print Diane von Furstenburg dress. Karlie Kloss had on a white pageanty Band of Outsiders gown with inappropriate footwear. Liya Kebede kept her outfit simple and more suitable for the office, wearing a white shirt and printed pencil skirt by Wes Gordon.

Wearing the Pants

Lupita Nyong'o was geometrically printed in a cropped top and shorts suit by Suno, along with red Sophia Webster shoes. Anja Rubik displayed class in a timeless black Stella McCartney jumpsuit. Anne V went urban luxe in a sporty top and grayscale shorts by Jonathan Simkhai. Jenna Lyons was modishly put-together in a blue tuxedo blazer, white crew-neck tee, floral printed pants and an orange satin clutch. 

Metallic Moments

Model Karen Elson glimmered in a gold wide-neck Michael Kors midi dress. Rachel Zoe was glamed up in a custom-made one-sleeved gown from her own label. Solange shimmered with beauty in this molten silver Calvin Klein gown with hot pink lip. Brie Larson donned a black and gold star-specked Diane von Furstenburg dress. Naomi Campbell made a glittering appearance in a charcoal sequin dipped DvF dress.

Summer Romance

Marion Cotillard's embroidered lace Christian Dior dress placed all focus on exaggerated peplum design. Jaime King presented a sheer white Calvin Klein gown with tier fringed skirt. Bee Shaffer was dressed by Dolce & Gabbana in a coin & floral print mini dress. Miroslava Duma was prettily poised in a soft peach Delpozo empire-line dress with embellished bodice. Sophia Bush played to the ladylike tune of this cream lace Marchesa frock.

Catching Fire

Busy Philipps picked out a cherry red ruffled high-neck gown by Honor, accessorizing with a bold white Irene Neuwirth necklace. Hilary Rhoda looked resplendent in this coral lace J.Mendel gown with structured low-V bodice and paneled mermaid skirt. Alessandra Ambrosio was radiantly dressed in a fitted strapless poppy red Nonoo gown. Greta Gerwig made a graceful entrance in a crimson long-sleeved Zac Posen creation with cropped top, draped floor-grazing belt and a trailing skirt. 

My worst dressed of the event is Rihanna in that distasteful sheer dress and my favourite looks were worn by Joan Smalls and Hilary Rhoda.
