Celebs, Models, & Random People with Terrible Fashion Sense at the CFDA Awards
Wednesday, June 09, 2010
The only positive thing I have to say about this is that the OMG necklace is fitting, because that's exactly what I thought when I stumbled across above photo. However, please don't wear an outfit that makes you look like a Cabbage Patch Kid.
And onto the more flatteringly attired invitees:
This seems to be one of those rare pieces that actually looks better on a person than it does on a hanger. Animal print, although hard to pull off, looks fantastic when done right - in this case, draped lightly and gathered subtly at the waist. Combined with a nude clutch, neutral platforms, and sleek hair, this exotic number stole the show from the numerous designer dresses that walked the gray carpet.
But even if Jessica's dress stood out from the crowd, it's impossible to ignore a beautiful, classy dress on an equally classy and beautiful woman. Michael Kors, the designer, seems happy to know that his creation is being worn well - it fits fantastically, and the sleek clutch only adds to the glamorous yet minimalistic effect.
After Gwinnie, however, I'm not sure how to take this Gaga-esque confection. Despite their overabundance, the frills and curlicues don't disguise the fact that it's still a leotard. Even adding a black slip underneath and snipping off the pesky layers by her knee might make it a lot easier on the eyes.
Joan Smalls looks, for lack of a better word, modelesque. The tight green dress is sleek, stunning, and modern. Its texture, which mimics shimmering water, adds an element of visual interest to an otherwise simple dress. Coupled with an armful of exotic bangles and patent gladiators, its wearer looks ready to conquer the world - or, at least, the catwalk.
The same can't be said for Betsey Johnson. I know she is a designer, but her dress looks like a combination of a gothic ice skater and a prom dress from the '60s. It also resembles something I wore for Halloween, circa '06. Not only am I slightly disturbed by her Madonna-like muscles and suprisingly countable ribs, but her hair resembles a mullet masquerading as a palm tree.
But since I'd hate to end the post on a bad note, Hana Soukupova looks magnificent in her Chanel finery. Even if it is a tad on the overembellished side, it works well with bare legs and simple black accessories. At the end of the day, it seems like fashion is best left to its original clotheshorses.
