You Need to See the Left Side of Alessandra Ambrosio’s Sequined Gown, Stat


The stars aligned on Thursday night in Milan as amfAR hosted its ninth gala in the Italian fashion week hub.
The AIDS benefit honored designer Angela Missoni and included a special performance from opera singer Andrea Bocelli. Although the gala was quite the event, the high-fashion red carpet was a glamorous extravaganza on its own.
Attendees included a bevy of sartorial favorites, including Victoria’s Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio, who arrived in a sparkly confection unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
Get That Body: Alessandra Ambrosio's Abs
The model’s sequined Julien Macdonald gown straddled the line between mini and maxi. The right side is quite conservative, featuring a full sleeve and floor-sweeping hem. The left, however, is a far different story—Ambrosio’s torso is bare save for one half of a sequined bra and her leg peeks out from a thigh-high slit. The mother of two paired her high-drama look with three-band silver sandals and a delicate silver choker, her long locks pin-straight and parted down the middle.

10th Annual CFDA 2011 Awards Red Carpet--Models and Designers

Fashion A-List...

Last night's 2011 CDFA Awards Red Carpet was not only full of Hollywood's A-List ladies--but also, chock full of models and their designers. This event, as you saw from my previous posting is on par with many of the top red carpet events and is known delivering Fashion--with a Capital "F" (hello Miss Lady Gaga!). Anyhow, let's see if these gorgeous supermodels and their designers make the NY Fashion Grade. Let's begin with...

Miranda Kerr: Australian Victoria's Secret Angel Supermodel--and SuperMommy, Miranda Kerr, wore Michael Kors Resort 2012, a black tank dress with high sarong-silhouette slit, side cut-outs and gold low-slung belt. Very Michael Kors, very Americana Sportswear-meets-St. Tropez, and very Chic! I especially love the "Wonder Woman" gold cuffs. I bet those are to ward off any EVIL Fashion Spirits. I need those!

Karolina Kurkova: Miss Kurkova--one of my FAVE Supermodels wore an emerald green sequin HOODIE gown with pockets by Diane Von Furstenberg. Sequins, Hoodie, and Pockets? I am Done and Done! Only a model--or a Drag Queen--can get away with this! Love--even the "high-water" length of the gown. This Czech beauty knows how to WORK IT!

Hana Soukupova:
Another fabulous model from the Czech Republic, six-footer Hana Soukupova, dazzled on the 2011 CFDA Awards Red Carpet in a one-shoulder ruffled and tiered gown by Marchesa Spring 2011. Love it all. Now this is how you wear a gown to the CFDA Awards Lucy Liu!

Marchesa Designers: Speaking of Marchesa, they were there--English-born New York-based designers Keren Craig (Left) and Georgina Chapman (Right), also dazzled in their own designs as they stepped onto the purple CFDA Awards carpet last night.

Doutzen Kroes: Dutch-born beauty Doutzen Kroes also decided to give SLIT (like several of the other models) in this fire-red (almost) one-shoulder asymmetrical gown from J. Mendel. The subtle diagonal draping and pleating is exquisite. And those PUMPS!!!! Hello!

Derek Lam and Liya Kebede: Designer Derek Lam, seen above with Ethiopian-born Supermodel Liya Kebede--wearing Derek Lam of course. She looked very "Easy-Breezy" Resort-esque, love the fresh, flowing side-parted hair as well as the mini clutch. Effortless. I also love the wine-colored slip-on's on Derek.

Chanel Iman: Speaking of "Easy-Breezy", Chanel Iman was at the CFDA Awards last night and wore a very relaxed turquoise-colored caftan with high center-front slit (a theme of the night?) by Max Axria. She was very Disco 1979 as well (like Karolina Kurkova, see above). This is also looking like a Theme. Ladies, better get that Saturday Night Fever album out of the closet and start dancin'!

Karlie Kloss and Jason Wu: Models loved those relaxed comfy dresses, don't they? Here model-of-the-moment Karlie Kloss wore a simple, spaghetti strap red gown with skinny black belt from Designer-of-the-Moment Jason Wu. I can see this gown on First Lady Michelle Obama like TOMORROW! Jason, seen above with Karlie, looked very dapper in suit and tie. This just could be the CUTEST Prom Date Photo.

Zac Posen and Sessilee Lopez: Designer Zac Posen arrived to last night's CFDA Awards with American model of Dominican descent Sessilee Lopez, who wore a gold-nude sweetheart neckline multi-seamed gown by Zac Posen, naturally. That gold-nude color always looks AMAZING on women with the fabulous skin tone of Sessilee. I also like the fact that Zac never met a cummerbund he didn't like. Bring back the cummerbund I say! Another example of a cute Prom Pic!

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen: Actresses, Designers and BILLION-DOLLAR Mega Brand, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen were Nominated for the Emerging Talent CFDA Award last night for their clothing design company "The Row" which has garnered both critical and editorial acclaim, the "Anna Wintour Stamp of Approval" and doing fabulously well at retail. They attended last night's event, of course, in style! Mary-Kate (Right) wore a gold Chanel jacket with a The Row (their own line) fishtail hem skirt and Louis Vuitton strappy heels. Ashley (Left), wore The Row dress, and Manolo Blahnik heels. Both accessorized it with great handbags from their line (naturally), The Row. The bags alone are estimated to retail for $5,450!!!

10th Annual CFDA 2011 Awards Red Carpet--Lady Gaga and...Everyone else!!!


Born Fashionably...


Lady Gaga: Wearing Mugler to the 2011 CFDA Awards

The 10th Annual CFDA/Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards for 2011 were handed out tonight at the Alice Tully Hall in the Lincoln Center New York City. And the Red Carpet Star of the Night was none other than Miss Lady Gaga. Miss Gaga was being honored as "Fashion Icon" and she was on hand to accept her award. She wore a teal pageboy wig and Mugler high-low gown.

And to no one's surprise: Some SERIOUS platform boots (above). I have to say, she looked kinda SEXY!!! I've never thought of Lady Gaga as sexy but huney! She done BROUGHT IT, with this ensemble! Live for this moment darling. Live for it.

Jessica Alba: 30 year old--and very pregnant, actress Jessica Alba wore a two-toned custom empire-waisted and drop-shouldered Diane Von Furstenberg gown in peach and purple silk Habotai. I will not say anything nasty about a pregnant woman so I will say, Jessica Alba looked "Pretty". Love the color combination.

Chloe Sevigny: Rumor has it that what she wore is a "Sneak Peak" of her new line for Opening Ceremony. It was a black ruffled leather plunging neck top and eyelet pencil skirt with a peplum. Loved it. Modern, chic, you-go-Chloe! Love the black-and-white shoes.

Kirsten Dunst: Kirsten wore a black with turquoise blue shawl collared tuxedo suit with matching UBER skinny pants from NYC-based CFDA 2008, 2009, 2010 Swarovski Award for Menswear Nominee Designer Patrik Ervell. She accessorized with Prada shoes and slicked back up-do mini-bun hairstyle. I like seeing this more "androgynous" side of Kirsten. It's very Euro. Her tiny frame can really handle this super skinny and super fitted look.

Lucy Liu: Liu wore a black strapless gown by LA-based/shows-in-NY-only designer Monique Lhuillier. It was, dare I say it, A BIT much! This was more of an Oscars gown as opposed to CFDA Awards. Leave the big gown moments to Miss Lady Gaga--or Cannes. I have to say that unfortunately, this was a bit of a MISS for me...I think Lucy thought she was at Cannes but somehow forgot...

Marcia Cross: Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross went the complete opposite of her Bree Hodge character for the 2011 CFDA Awards. She went DISCO Happy, wearing a halter neckline jumpsuit (they are ALL THE RAGE kids!) from designer Pamela Rolland. I think she looked rather HOT! If you're going to wear a sequined 1979-inspired jumpsuit, it should be for the CFDA's. Seriously.
