From Zoë Saldaña’s noir sheer cut-out Prabal Gurung to Solange Knowles in a yellow and white Marni mini, the fashions of the CFDA fashion awards were certainly a hot topic for discussion this year. I especially appreciated the understated elegance of Padma Lakshmi’s intricately detailed Naeem Khan gown, in a sea of colourful statement ensembles, I think she managed to stand out in black just like Zoë Saldaña. June Abrose glittered in silver sequins. Hilary Rhonda colour-blocked in cut-out perfection and Selita Ebanks was a vision in white. With the absence of Lady Gaga (a previous CFDA fashion award recipient) who stole the show and not to mention all the attention last year, there was room for all sorts of fashion statements this year. Fashionwidget, narrowed it down to the nine pictures as seen above, we also loved Devon Aoki in her amazing red and black Alice+Olivia strapless gown. Unfortunately, our photographer was unable to snap a photo of her. Never fear, I will re-blog or update this post if I stumble upon a photo of her (in the dress) that I can legally upload.

Or hostesses? I just can’t get over the fact that these three ladies showed up at the same event looking like they had been calling each other up all day deciding on what outfit to wear. You know like back in highschool when you and all your girlfriends would co-ordinate your outfits and accessories? Ah! The memories…

AND LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST, FASHIONWIDGET’S ‘FASHION-QUERY AWARD’ FOR THE MOST CONFUSING FASHION STATEMENTS ON THE BLUE CARPET GOES TO…↓
Kat Graham
Selena Gomez
Selena gets major brownie points for colour-blocking so nicely here but that sheet that is hanging of the side of her dress (looking like a trail of toilet paper stuck to her by accident from a recent visit to the ladies room) really threw me off. As for the usually stylish Kat Graham, she looks as if she lost a battle with a shredder on her way to the award show. Her dress is so busy, did her shoes also have to be?
WHAT: Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala 2011 (Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Exhibit)
WHEN: MAY 2nd 2011
WHERE: NYC, USA
Fashionwidget’s Verdict: This event is arguably the The “Oscars” of the Fashion World. While we are still deliberating (lots of dresses and suits to review) and while most of us are currently working on other projects simultaneously, we’ve managed to shortlist some of the best dressed celebrities from last evening’s costume gala in New York for you our lovely and *wink*wink* very patient readers. Overall it was a great night, some outfits were drop-dead gorgeous while some we refuse to even upload pics of, talk less of comment on. If you have nothing nice to say, it is better not to say anything at all right? As for the celebrities shortlisted in the slideshow above, they deserve a round of applause for bringing in on the red carpet last night.A+
