Solange Knowles in Marni - 2012 CFDA Awards

Solange Knowles attended Monday evening's CFDA Fashion Awards in a sunny Marni Spring 2012 dress.

The white and yellow, v-neck sheath looked super chic and summer appropriate and I absolutely loved Solange's styling.

Solange tends to keep her natural these days and she did just that at the event and completed her look with a Marni clutch and playful Missoni sandals.

Zoe Saldana in Prabal Gurung - 2012 CFDA Awards

Zoe Saldana attended the annual CFDA Fashion Awards at the Alice Tully hall in New York City.  

The event, which is heralded as the Oscars of the high fashion world was attended by Zoe in a Prabal Gurung Fall 2012 gown (she was also his date).

It's not often that we see Zoe do sleek, minimal looks but she worked it in this black dress with sheer panels and long sleeves. The slicked back hair, subtle cat eyes and dewy make-up really uplifted her look.

Kate Bosworth in Altuzarra - 2012 CFDA Awards

Kate Bosworth was accompanied by designer Joseph Altuzarra at the 2012 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City.

The actress wore a printed and embellished Altuzarra Fall 2012 cocktail dress.  The bold dress featured a high neck and a large cut out at the waist.

Kate's really not much of a gown girl so this was no surprise.  She rocked it, with a low, sleek ponytail, rosy make-up, black clutch and sharp Gianvito Rossi for Altuzarra ankle-strap pumps.

Lily Collins in Marchesa - 2012 CFDA Awards

Lily Collins wore a dress from the Marchesa Fall 2012 collection to the CFDA Fashion Awards, where she presented the Swarovski awards for Emerging Talent in Menswear, Womenswear and Accessories (Phillip Lim, Joseph Altuzarra and Tabitha Simmons won, respectively).

Lily looked adorable in the high-neck, white and gold embroidered dress with a flared hem.  I was happy to see her wearing a high bun, instead of a wavy hairstyle.

She completed the look with berry lips, a Swarovski clutch and Giuseppe Zannoti metallic heels.

Sophia Bush in David Meister - 2012 CFDA Awards

Sophia Bush was smokin' at Monday night's CFDA awards in New York City.

Sophia donned a slinky, tangerine David Meister Signature collection dress.  The dress pretty much had me at the colour.  Her colourful dress featured draping, a plunging neckline and a leg split.

Sophia wore it with wavy, glossy hair, hoop earrings and sleek Christian Louboutin 'Echasse' sandals.

Dakota Fanning in Proenza Schouler - 2012 CFDA Awards

Dakota Fanning attended the CFDA Fashion Awards on Monday evening in NYC with Proenza Schoulder desginers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez.

She, of course, wore a silk brocade dress from the label's orient inspired Proenza Schouler Fall 2012 collection.

I'm so thankful that Dakota did something different with her hair.  This dress required this wet, low bun.  Not the boring, straight style Dakota usually sports.  A silver clutch and Proenza Schouler heels completed her fashion-forward look.

Jessica Chastain in Prabal Gurung - 2012 CFDA Awards

Jessica Chastain attended the 2012 CFDA Awards in a Prabal Gurung Resort 2013 dress.

She came across all angelic in this floaty, ivory creation with sparkly beading.  With her beautiful hair and light make-up, Jessica looked absolutely gorgeous.

She wore the dress with those killer, spiked gold Prabal Gurung FW 12 ankle-strap shoes which were seen on Diane Kruger during Cannes but didn't really sell them to us.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in The Row - 2012 CFDA Awards

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen had a big night on Monday.

The sister-designers won the award for Best Womenswear Designer of the Year (for The Row), beating Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler.

Ashley wore a gorgeous, purple satin dress with a ruffle front from The Row Resort 2013 collection. She wore her hair back in a bun and finished off the look with Sidney Garber jewelery, a bag from The Row & her favourite Manolo Blahniks.

Mary-Kate debuted a darker hair colour in a loose black blouse and wrap silk skirt from The Row Resort 2013 collection.  Bronzed make-up, kohl-rimmed eyes, a The Row bag and Louis Vuitton heels completed her look.

Kyra Sedgwick in Reed Krakoff - 2012 CFDA Awards

Kyra Sedgwick opted for a pant suit at the annual CFDA Awards.

Kyra wore a black suit with white piping from the Reed Krakoff Spring 2012 collection.    Kyra wore it with a white vest top and buttoned up the jacket, I wish she had kept it undone.

An updo, clutch and silver sandals by Reed Krakoff completed her polished look.

Mandy Moore in Lela Rose - 2012 CFDA Awards

Mandy Moore was pretty as always in a Lela Rose Fall 2012 dress at the CFDA Awards.

She wore a white dress with intricate cap sleeves from the Lela Rose Fall 2012 collection.

The dress would have been too 'safe' had it not been for her high ponytail and bright pink lip colour.  I just wish she had taken that pink shade forward with her shoes.

Models at the 2012 CFDA Awards

Karolina Kurkova looked great in a printed Tommy Hilfiger dress, which the leggy lady wore with straight hair, orange lips and matching black and yellow sandals.

Arizone Muse was chic in a silver, sequined Diane von Furstenberg mini which she wore with black accessories, including an embellished clutch and black boots.  The entire look was made for Arizona.

Devok Aoki was glamorous in a red and black, tiered Alice + Olivia gown.  A sophisticated side-bun, red lips and matching accessories completed her look.

Jessica Stam became the third woman to wear a Jason Wu Resort 2013 gown.  The blue dress with lace underlay was very pretty but I hated her hair and make-up.

Candice Swanepoel was one of my favourite, in a light blue Valentino Spring 2012 cocktail dress. Most models went for a sleek, simple look so Candice stood out, with her beautiful hair and make-up.  She completed her look with white, ankle-strap Brian Atwood heels.

Joan Smalls was sleek in a white Michael Kors dress with a high-low hem.  She wore it with gold jewelery and accessories.  White/black and gold are a classic combination.

Doutzen Kroes was the only model to wear a black dress.  She looked pretty good in the dotted, textured Sophie Theallet dress which was worn with a messy bun and cat-eye make-up.

Erin Heatherton looked cool in an aqua, halter Michael Kors Resort 2013 dress.  She wore her hair in a high ponytail to show off her back.

Hilary Rhoda was one of my best dressed model of the evening, in a custom Rebecca Minkoff dress with the most delicious shades of blue.  Fresh make-up, straight locks and accessories by Rebecca Minkoff completed her look.

Selita Ebanks wore a white Herve Leger by Max Azria dress with silver detail on the bodice.  Wavy hair and silver accessories provided the finishing touches.

Julianne Hough in Kaufman Franco - 2012 CFDA Awards

Julianne Hough attended the 2012 CFDA Awards in a Kaufman Franco dress.

The deep red dress with cap sleeves and a plunging neckline looked very elegant on her.  I really prefer it when Julianne wears her hair up as it softens her features.
