Report • 2011 CFDA Fashion Awards

Yesterday, the 6th of June, the 2011 CFDA Fashion Awards took place (CFDA = Council of Fashion Designers of America). The awards ceremony honors excellence in fashion design, and are often called teh Oscars of fashion. Nominations are chosen by CFDA members and by a selection of fashion retailers and designers. The CFDA Awards gala was held at the Lincoln Center in NYC. This year, awards went to Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler, Prabal Gurung, Eddie Borgo, Robert Geller, Michael Bastian, Phoebe Philo and Lady GaGa. Lets check out all the fashion on the purple carpet!

Actress Ashley Green attended the CFDA Awards as a guest of Michael Kors, so of course she opted for one of his designs. Ashley wore a neon pink short-sleeved dress from the Resort 2012 collection. The dress had black paillette details and zipper pockets in the front. Ashley wore a modified dress, which I think looked better than the original one. She accessorized with Michael Kors accessories; black leather platform heels, a black leather envelope clutch and jewellery by Michael Kors. Ashley wore her hair down in a sleek style. Love this!


Miranda Kerr, who also attended the Awards with Michael Kors wore a longer ensemble but did show off some leg! Miranda flaunted her beautiful body with a thigh-high splitted sarong skirt and a cut-out detailed bodysuit. She accessorized with gold Xena cuffs and a belt and wore beautiful Michael Kors heels. Her hair was in a thight knot and she wore very natural make-up.


Lady GaGa put her paws up on the purple carpet on Monday, before she was honored with the Fashion Icon Award. Lady GaGa wore a black, custom Thierry Mugler dress with a long tulle trail. She styled her dress with her signature platforms, a blue wig and bright red lippie.


Doutzen Kroes looked radiant, wearing a beautiful red high-splitted J. Mendel dress which was one-shouldered. She styled the dress with glittery black heels. Her hair was in a bun and she wore dramatic eye make-up. The collection where the dress is from will be officially shown next Monday, it's from the Resort Collection!


Whitney Port looked gorgeous in Pamella Roland. She wore a very sophisticated gown which was one-shouldered and had a pleated gown with flower applique. Whitney kept her hair down in wavy curls and wore beautiful jewellery. 


Emmanuelle Chriqui looked absolutely stunning in a vibrant yellow David Meister dress with a chiffon train. Hoop earrings and beautiful embellished purple sandals finished her look in the ultimate way, although the sandals did mingle in with the carpet ;)


Marcia Cross looked great (she's 49 years old!) in a Pamella Roland jumpsuit. And although I know Marcia as a proper desperate housewife in twin-sets and pearls, this time she wore something much much more daring. She wore a sparkly low-cut jumpsuit and looked like a disco-girl. She looked awesome, her toned physique makes her pull off the ensemble perfectly!


Supermodel Karolina Kurkova worked the purple carpet in a green sequined hooded jumpsuit by Diane von Furstenburg. She styled her outfit with Louboutin Salsbourg heels and Swarovski jewellery. I just don't like the jumpsuit and the heels together!


Jessica Alba and her baby bump looked fabulous yesterday, and deserve a colour blocking award! Jessica wore a custom Diane von Furstenberg dress in purple and coral which was inspired by the 2011 Spring/Summer Collection. She looked radiant ans accessorized with Fallon jewellery.


Who do you think rocked the purple carpet?
