Yesterday evening(June 6th) the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards took place at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. To see all of the pink carpet looks, click HERE and continue below for the wrap-up.

Naomi Campbell wore a simple BRANDON MAXWELL FALL 2016 black halter floor length dress with cut-out sides. I just love how she is selling this simplistic look in a elegant, sultry way. A side swept long braid with bangs and diamond bracelets topped off her look. 

Karlie Kloss wore a white studded ROSIE ASSOULIN dress with a front & black bow & cut-out detail, a peplum detail and a flare skirt. Love the dress but not those pink sequin pumps. 

Sarah Paulson gave us the first unreleased look from the ALTUZARRA RESORT 2017 collection. Her sleeveless red & black beaded dress is cute but once again she wore her favorite black pumps which doesn't work here.

Lena Dunham in Creatures of the Wind at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards

I don't know about you but I have come to terms that Lean Dunham marches to the beat of her own style whether we like it or not. She is having fun with fashion which is what matters. Yesterday she attended the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. 

For the occasion, she wore a custom CREATURES OF THE WIND PRE-FALL 2016 two-tone dress which featured a white long sleeve top and a strapless black flare lace dress. 

Adding a playful touch to her look, she accessorized with colorful IRENE NEUWIRTH jewelry, a chain strap bad with her initials and pink bunny slides. What do you think of Lena's?

Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Hudson, Alexa Chung & Jasmine Tookes in Prabal Gurung at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards

PRABAL GURUNG dressed Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Hudson, Alexa Chung and Jasmine Tookes yesterday evening for the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. 

Jessica Chastain wore a FALL 2016 black, silver and gold strapless falling leaf high-low organza lurex gown which she styled with black strappy PAUL ANDREW sandals. Beauty wise, she went with a slick side parted wavy up-do and a smokey eye offset with a shiny. 

Jennifer Hudson wore a RESORT 2016 strapless onyx and crimson crepe asymmetric gown with sculptural inserts. Love the dress and the matching red lip but I don't like her eye make-up nor her shoe choice. A strappy sandal would have been ideal.

Kirsten Dunst in Rodarte at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards

Kirsten Dunst sometimes goes for the hard to wear pieces without pulling them off. She attended the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards this evening at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. 

She hit the red carpet in a RODARTE FALL 2016 sleeveless sequin beaded dress with an asymmetrical peplum detail, a side front split and a contrasting black silk-chiffon panel.  

Kirsten is wearing real orchard earrings which is also from the brand but I just don't think she needed them. Also I wish the hair was in an up-do. I like this dress and I do see it more on someone like Diane Kruger but Kirsten made it work. Love the shoes. Did Kirsten sell this look to you?

Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards

Working a masculine inspired look, Tilda Swinton hit the red carpet at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards yesterday evening at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. 

Turning to her friend & go to designer, she was head to toe in a HAIDER ACKERMANn FALL 2016 ensemble which featured a beaded long sleeve top, black & orange side stripe trousers and black & fuchsia suede toe cap ankle booties.  

Love this look and of course she wells it well but I do find it to be a bit heavy for the season. A bold colored lip and her signature short hair do finished up her great look.

Michelle Monaghan in Off-White at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards

Michelle Monaghan was serving up a little leg action yesterday evening at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. 

She hit the pink carpet in a OFF-WHITE FALL 2016 strapless mixed media dress which featured a beige frayed asymmetrical panel, a silver metallic pleated panel and a split detail.

Even though in the pictures, she see how hard she was working that split, I like the unexpected idea of this dress. Also the metallic panel makes a subtle chic statement without coming off as harsh or cheap. A metallic clutch, SCHUTZ sandals, MONIQUE PEAN jewelry and center part waves completed her look.

Claire Danes in Calvin Klein Collection at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards

Claire Danes can wear great pieces on the carpet but they don't always excite. She attended the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards at the Hammerstein Ballroom this evening in New York. 

She hit the red carpet in a black sleeveless CALVIN KLEIN COLLECTION FALL 2016 pleated midi dress with an embellished cut-out waist and frayed ends. 

I like the dress because the detailed waist is what keeps it somewhat interesting. However maybe it is better suited to the side and I think it's Claire's styling that doesn't give her look life. Do you agree or does Claire's look work for you?

Olivia Wilde in Rosie Assoulin at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards

Olivia Wilde stepped out this evening for the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards which was held at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. 

Showing off her baby bump, she wore a ROSIE ASSOULIN FALL 2016 dark green long sleeve floor length dress with a cut-out shoulder and tie details.

Olivia is also wearing the statement choker & earrings from the look book version but I wish she left the choker out. A complimentary make-up look, side swept waves and a Bespoke EDIE PARKER clutch, GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI heels finished up her look.

Gabrielle Union in Lela Rose at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards

I think Gabrielle Union has potential when it comes to her style game but sometimes it doesn't excite. Yesterday evening she attended the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. 

She hit the pink carpet in a LELA ROSE FALL 2016 semi-sheer black & white silk-chiffon stripe layered v-neck evening dress. I like this dress but I can't say that I am sold on the fit of the top or shape of the skirt on her.

Also I think she definitely needed a colored lip and a hairstyle similar to the model's to compliment the dress. A black clutch and a silver bracelet completed her look. Does Gabrielle's look work for you?

Alicia Silverstone & Selma Blair in Christian Siriano at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards

Alicia Silverstone & Selma Blair stepped out in CHRISTIAN SIRIANO FALL 2016 this evening at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. 

Alicia Silverstone wore a red silk evening dress with a short v-neckline, twisted straps, a train detail and a high split. She also wore the red double braided straps mule sandals from the runway but I wish she wore something on the strappy side. A gold clutch, a matching red lip and straight off-the-shoulder tresses completed her look. 

Selma Blair wore a black satin suit which featured a one long sleeve asymmetrical jacket with the matching flair leg trousers. I actually love this but too bad Selma didn't have the height needed to pull it off. Also the fit is not that good. This suit looked so much better on the runway. 

Who's Christian Siriano look do you favor?

Tracee Ellis Ross in Suno at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards

Whether hit or miss, what I love about Tracee Ellis Ross style, is that she has fun with it and she is not afraid of taking risk. She was on hand for the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. 

She posed on the carpet rocking one of her got to brand's, SUNO. Her FALL 2016 sleeveless beaded metallic dress featured a ruffled panel which is not visible and a back split. Highlighting the red hue on her dress, she wore red suede sandals and added a red pout to her beauty look.

 It could be the way that she is posing but the creases are a tad distracting. I can't say that I love this dress but as always kudos for her always taking a risk. A braided ponytail and a JIMMY CHOO clutch finished up her look. Are you feeling Tracee's metallic look?

Julianne Hough & Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Michael Kors at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards

Yesterday evening Julianne Hough and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore MICHAEL KORS dresses to the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards which was held at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. 

Julianne Hough wore a FALL 2016 long sleeve silver metallic beaded dress with nude underlining. The STUART WEITMAN 'Nudist' continues to be the celeb go to shoe choice but I wish on this occasion she went with a sexy but simple strappy style with this dress. Also I can't say that I favor the make-up either. 

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was a regal beauty wearing a beaded floral length slip dress with spaghetti straps, a short v-neckline and a open-back. Even though I have seen her in something similar before and the dress sits a tad low on the chest, she was still an elegant beauty for the occasion. Straight off-the-shoulder tresses and a pink lip topped off her look. 

Rosie's MK look was my favor here, who's was yours?

Samira Wiley in Milly at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards

Samira Wiley was beauty when she hit the pink carpet yesterday evening at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. 

Utilizing the pockets on her dress, the 'OITNB' actress wore a MILLY FALL 2016 green and black frayed v-neck dress with a cinched waist and a flare skirt. 

I think the only thing missing from her look is a colored lip but she still looked great for the occasion. Black ankle strap sandals completed her look.

Ciara in Roberto Cavalli at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards

Working her left leg, Ciara hit the red carpet this evening at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards which was held at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York.

For the occasion, she wore a ROBERTO CAVALLI SPRING 2016 blush tone silk muslin tie-dye ruffled dress with a nappa leather belt which provided a cinched waist and a split detail. The belt definitely worked in her favor as it brought definition to her look. 

However colored stone jewelry would have been a nice addition for an extra pop of color and I wish the hair was in an up-do. Nonetheless, she wore the dress better than it was presented on the runway. Does Cici's look work for you?

Laverne Cox in Marc Bouwer at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards

Laverne Cox worked the red carpet this evening at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards which was held at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. 

Turning to one of her favorite designers, she wore a custom MARC BOUWER nude v-neck dress with dramatic long cape sleeves, a center front split and a cut-out sides. I like Laverne and she knows how to deliver great red carpet looks but this is just not her color. 

If she was going to make it work, colored stone jewelry should have been styled with her dress. She finished up with MONICA SORDOBK jewelry, LONIA shoes and pulled tresses. What do you think of Laverne's look?

Fashion On Repeat: Tilda Swinton Re-wears a Haider Ackermann Fall 2016 Look at the 2020 BFI Fellowship Dinner

I stan a fashion risk taker and someone who is not afraid to re-wear a look on or off the red carpet. Yesterday evening(March 2nd) Tilda Swinton hit the carpet in London for the 2020 BFI Chairman's dinner awarding her a 'BFI Fellowship' at the Rosewood London.

Tilda re-wore a HAIDER ACKERMANn FALL 2016 beaded top, black & orange side stripe trousers and black & fuchsia suede toe cap ankle booties which she wore first at the 2016 CFDA's(see below image). 

The only different between now and the first time that she wore this look, is her hair color and style. Either way, I still love this look on her which was topped off with a fuchsia lip color. What do you think of Tilda's repeat fashion look?
