Best Dressed at the CFDA Awards

Every year, the Council of Fashion Designers of America holds the CFDA Fashion Awards to celebrate those with outstanding achievement and excellence in the fields of womenswear, menswear, accessories, journalism, creative vision and lifetime achievement. This year, the awards ceremony was held at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center. They were hosted by comedian Tracey Ullman. Kate and Laura Mulleavy for Rodarte won for Womenswear Designer of the Year; Scott Sternberg for Band of Outsiders and Italo Zucchelli for Calvin Klein Collection won for Menswear Designer of the Year; Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez for Proenza Schhouler won for Accessory Designer of the Year. Blake Lively presented the Swarovski Awards while wearing a gorgeous Michael Kors hot pink dress. The Swarovski Award for Womenswear was given to Alexander Wang, for Menswear was presented to Tim Hamilton, and for Accessory Design went to Justin Giunta for Subversive Jewelry. The Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Anna Sui. Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton was given this year's International Award. The ELeanor Lambert Award was given to GQ Creative Director Jim Moore. The Eugenia Sheppard Award was presented to Edward Nardoza for excellence in journalism. The night was a beautiful spectacle, with gorgeous clothes and people! Below are some of my favorite outfits from the event!
Taylor Lautner looked hot (as always) in Calvin Klein, Rachel Roy wore her own design while Roopal Patel wore Jason Wu, Kirsten Dunst ported Rodarte with Nicholas Kirkwood shoes, Daphne Guinness showed up in Proenza Schouler, Rachel Zoe wore Louis Vuitton, Molly Sims sported Dolce & Gabbana, Melissa George posed with and wore Nicole Miller, Heidi Klum attended the event with Michael Kors and wore his design, Diane Kruger wore Jason Wu, and Ashley Olsen wore a bold (probably vintage) number.
