WHO WORE WHAT?.....2015 CFDA Awards, Trend Alert: Printed Dresses...Anna Wintour, Diane Von Furstenberg and Karlie Kloss




Printed Gals: (Left to right) Anna Wintour, Diane Von Furstenberg, Karlie Kloss are right ON TREND wearing PRINTED DRESSES at last night's 2015 CFDA Awards. 



TREND ALERT: Printed Dresses, as seen at the 2015 CFDA Awards--Check out some of the best:



Anna Wintour: Wintour LOVES color and prints. For last night's 2015 CFDA Awards, she wore both in this very Summer Perfect flower printed sleeveless gown. Sassy, fun and beautiful!





Diane Von Furstenberg in...Diane Von Furstenberg: Once a Diva, always a Diva. Leave it to DVF to show how FABULOUS a woman can look in a printed dress. Here, she wears her own design, an off-the-shoulder black and white printed gown.







Karlie Kloss in Diane Von Furstenberg Fall 2015: Model Karlie Kloss wore a red and black polka dotted print dress from Diane Von Furstenberg, similar in fabrication to the runway style shown above. I loved this print and the simple silhouette of the dress. Also--you really can't tell--but Kloss went with flats as opposed to high heels. That might not have been acceptable at last month's Cannes Film Festival red carpet; but she looks GREAT with the silver flats!





Hilary Rhoda in J. Mendel Fall 2015: Model Hilary Rhoda wore a J. Mendel Fall 2015 halter style printed silk chiffon gown with plunging neckline and high side-front slit. She looked quite sexy and 70's Disco Chic.








Alek Wek in H & M Conscious: Model Alek Wek wore a printed gown from H & M Conscious 2015 Collection--a collection based on Sustainable Fashion and an H & M "Conscious Commitment". The silk blend dress features a bold print, full attached skirt, fitted waist and v-neck neckline.

WHO WORE WHAT?.....amfAR's 22nd Cinema Against AIDS Gala Red Carpet: Model Fab!






Model Gorgeous: (Clockwise, from top) Chanel Iman, Karlie Kloss, Daniela Braga, Toni Garrn, Natasha Poly and Doutzen Kroes--2015 amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala



Last night was the 22nd Annual amfAR Cinema Againstv AIDS Gala, held at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in the very luxe French Riviera city of Cap d-Antibes. The 2015 gala raised millions to held find a cure for HIV/AIDS, bringing out top celebs as well as the SUPER of Supermodels...






Dancing--and posing--Queens: (Left to Right) Doutzen Kroes, Joan Smalls, Lara Stone, Kendall Jenner, Jourdan Dunn and Karlie Kloss--2015 amFAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala



On the red carpet, models wore a variety of styles--from fabulous and very glam Haute Couture ball gowns, slinky and sexy slit-up-to-there columns, mini dresses and even a jumpsuit. Let's take a look at some of the best...





Chanel Iman in Zuhair Murad Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2015: Chanel Iman wore a glorious ball gown from the Zuhair Murad Haute Couture Spring 2015 collection. The silk tulle nude-based gown featured a very plunging neckline, long sleeves and intricately hand sewn sequined appliques. I think Chanel looked sooooo BEAUTIFUL! This is a $100,000+ costing gown and she wore it wonderfully...and looked even better than the runway model.





Toni Garrn in Elie Saab RTW Spring 2015: German model--and former main squeeze of Leonardo DiCaprio--Toni Garrn, was right on trend with this bold printed high-lo dress from Elie Saab Spring 2015 RTW. I LOVE this dress and I also love how she wore it--from the nude heels to the slicked hair.





Adriana Lima in Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2015: Brazilian bombshell supermodel Adriana Lima wore this side cut-out--and side front slit--sequined gown from French couturier Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2015 collection. This is definitely one of those gowns that basically either a Supermodel or a Miss Universe WINNER--can only wear.





Doutzen Kroes in Maison Margiela Couture Spring/Summer 2015 by John Galliano: I thought Dutch model Doutzen Kroes looked quite old-school Alta Moda in this tunic shaped lipstick red halter gown from Maison Margiela Couture Spring/Summer 2015. This gown was from John Galliano's debut collection for the famed design house.





Daniela Braga in Balmain Pre-Fall 2015: Brazilian model Daniela Braga looked fabulous in this black wide legged jumpsuit from Balmain Pre-Fall 2015 collection. I thought it was a super modern way of opting out of the traditional gown or super sexy slit-up-to-there dress.





Soo Joo Park in Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2013: bleach blond model Soo Joo Park walked the red carpet at the 2015 amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala in this gunmetal colored sequined slightly A-line shift dress from Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2013 collection. Notice that on the runway, the dress was worn with a boucle jacket over it, and a longer under-skirt plus a hip-slung wide belt. She was smart to leave all that stuff back in the Chanel Haute Couture showroom.






Gigi Hadid in Tom Ford: Gigi Hadid wore an ivory crepe column style gown from Tom Ford. The dress featured a geometric cut-out neckline, long sleeves and high side front slit. I  think the gown is super sexy but I just have a little problem with what's happening in the cleavage area and how the neckline of the dress is not sitting straight. It's obvious that there's some MAJOR double-stick tape happening to prevent any wardrobe malfunction.






Karlie Kloss in Tom Ford: Karlie Kloss also wore Tom Ford at last night's amfAR Gala. Karlie's gown was a silver sequined "tank"-style dress with plunging sides. I thought she looked both retro (kind of a 60's vibe) but still modern.






Joan Smalls in Givenchy: Model Joan Smalls wore a black knit dress from Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci. The dress had a plunging neckline (of course) and open shoulders. I loved the vamp-y styling including her slicked back hair and THAT lipstick! 






Karolina Kurkova in Alexis Mabille Couture: Czech Supermodel Karolina Kurkova wore a blush pink silk mikado gown from French couturier Alexis Mabille. The strapless gown featured a full gathered flared ballgown skirt, draped bustier and bow/knot tie at the Empire section. I think Karolina looked quite elegant and Grace Kelly old school. It was a nice change to see a supermodel do "Classy" with a  capital C.






Irina Shayk in Atelier Versace: Irina Shayk wore this jade green colored super sexy gown from Atelier Versace. Once again, this is the type of style that only a Supermodel--or Beauty Queen--can get away with. And I think Irina does get away with it. For sure!






Jourdan Dunn in Vera Wang: UK model Jourdan Dunn looked lovely in a blue draped silk tulle gown from Vera Wang. I loved her loose--almost effortless hairstyle to counterbalance such an intricately gathered structured mermaid-shaped gown.






The Saint Laurent Girls: (Left to Right) Natasha Poly, Lara Stone and Lily Donaldson in Custom Saint Laurent--Who looked better? I say Natasha...what do you guys think?






Kendall Jenner in Custom Calvin Klein Collection: Finally, there was Reality TV Star and UBER model Kendall Jenner. She attended last night's Gala in a mauve colored halter gown from Calvin Klein Collection. This was a custom design, made especially for Kendall and the event. I think she looked great! I love the 70's "Charlie's Angels" vibe of the style and the train gave an added sense of drama. Oh and yes, Kendall's wonderfully toned arms and tummy can definitely pull this off!

WHO WORE WHAT?.....68th Annual Cannes Film Festival Opening Ceremony Red Carpet: Sienna Miller, Karlie Kloss, Naomi Watts, Isabella Rossellini




Les Plus Belles: Red Carpet Goddesses at last night's 68th Annual cannes Film Festival Opening Ceremony Red Carpet (Clockwise, from the top: Sienna Miller, Naomi Watts, Karlie Kloss, Doutzen Kroes and Liya Kebede



Continuing with some of the Best Dressed of last night's 68th Annual Cannes Film Festival Opening Ceremony Red Carpet--here's a mix of actresses and models looking superFAB...let's begin with 2015 Cannes Jury Member, actress Sienna Miller:





Sienna Miller in Lanvin: Member of the Cannes 2015 Jury, actress Sienna Miller wore a very elegant navy blue column gown from Lanvin, designed by Alber Elbaz. The one shoulder gown featured an interesting twist knot/bow highlighting the shoulder.






Cannes 2015 Jury: (Left to right) Jake Gyllenhaal, Joel Cohen, Sophie Marceau, Rokia Traore, Ethan Cohen, Sienna Miller, Xavier Dolan, Guillermo del Toro, Rossy De Palma--Cannes 2015 Opening Ceremony Premiere of "La Tete Haute" Red Carpet





Supermodel Karlie Kloss in Atelier Versace Fall 2014: As a model, naturally, Karlie looks good in pretty much anything. Here she is in this original look from Atelier Versace Fall 2014 collection. The silver sequined hand-sewn Couture design is a pant/gown with an asymmetrical exposed side and bandeau and gold plated side belt/buckles. Yes, GOLD PLATED darlings. There's pretty much NO ONE--except for Liza Minnelli circa 1979--who could get away with wearing this kind of ensemble so Kudos to Miss Kloss.







Model Chic: Model Doutzen Kroes (left) wore an ivory silk crepe column one shoulder gown from Atelier Versace Spring 2015. The gown features a very daring torso "cut-out" and super-high side slit. Naturally, "Victoria's Secret" Supermodel Doutzen can pull it off. Next to her is model Liya Kebede in a short cocktail number from Louis Vuitton Fall 2015. The silver and gold silk lame dress was shortened (as you can see above in the photo) for Liya. I guess she wanted it a teeny bit more mini.





Actress Leila Bekhti in Giambattista Valli Couture: French film and TV actress of Algerian descent Leila Bekhti made quite an entrance in a Ballet Pink strapless gown from Giambattista Valli Haute Couture. The hi-lo silk duchesse ball gown was based on a look from the designer's Fall 2013 Haute Couture collection (see top photo, above), and features a long train, dramatic enough for the Cannes red carpet, with layers of tulle underneath giving it support.







Hofit Golan in Jean Fares Couture: I wasn't sure who Hofit was so naturally, I Googled her and THIS is what I came up with--She's a "socialite"/"spokesmodel"/TV reporter for FashionTV, and most notably, attends EVERY red carpet event she's invited to. And thank goodness for me, she's all done up in a couture like this above at last night's Cannes 2015 Opening Night Ceremony. Her gown is very frothy and very "Miss Universe". It's from Lebanese design company Jean Fares Couture. Hofit wears A LOT of Jean Fares' designs. The design company has this Facebook Page but no actual website. The nude tulle with black lace applique gown made quite an impression on the Cannes 2015 red carpet; I can only imagine how many yards and yards and yards of silk tulle were used on this creation.





Isabella Rossellini in Stella McCartney Custom: Attending the premiere of "Le Tout Haute" and Cannes 2015 Film Festival Opening Ceremony, Isabella Rossellini wore this white column silk crepe gown with attached multicolored cape. I love the bold colors and geo prints on the cape and the style is very "Alta Moda" and right for Isabella. The only thing is I wish it wasn't wrinkled in the front. But, what can you do, she probably sat in that limo for a very LOONG time before getting out to do the red carpet, and this was the result. Next time, lay flat Ms. Rossellini.





Naomi Watts in Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring 2015: One of my favorite red carpet moments from last night's Cannes 2015 Opening Ceremony was actress Naomi Watts in this gunmetal gray ball gown from Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring 2015. While many fashion amateurs may dismiss it as a "Gray Big Bird", I completely disagree; this is a stunning, very dramatic gown that has all the elements of a an entrance-making look perfect for Cannes...





The gown--which probably goes for $150,000+ in case anyone reading this is interested in ordering it--is completely hand-made with the top in a very thin silk chiffon covered in sequins while the skirt is in a heavy silk satin with hand sewn feathers. It's also a minor technological feat to achieve it plunging in the front and so open in the back; kudos to the Elie Saab atelier. I also LOVE that gorgeous necklace she accessorizes the gown with. Well done Naomi. Now, go return the gown back to Elie Saab safely and very carefully.
