The Full 2011 CFDA Fashion Awards Red Carpet Report

The 2011 CFDA Fashion Awards took place last night at Lincoln Center in New York City. The show saw some serious fashionista traffic, but we have to admit we expected it to be a tad more A-List. Still, can’t complain with the likes of Alessandra Ambrosio in a red-hot Prabal Gurung dress and Liv Tyler in an unusual Proenza Schouler silk printed sheath. Both ladies showed a fair amount of back! We also loved Kerry Washington‘s simple white A-Line Calvin Klein dress and Lucy Liu‘s dramatic black Monique Lhuillier gown. Miranda Kerr looked heart-stoppingly sexy in her black Michael Kors skirt and cut-out body suit. But the big winner of the night was Lady Gaga who scooped up the Fashion Icon Award, bringing her sister Natali Germanotta as her date.

Unfortunately, there were a couple of fashion fails as well. Chloe Sevigny looked like she had forgotten to do up the top of her leather ruffle eyelet blouse from her own collection. Marcia Cross wore an inexplicable Pamella Roland blue sequined halter jumpsuit and Naomi Watts looked generically pretty but very blah in her Calvin Klein gold dress. We also love us some Ashley Greene but she just wasn’t working her two-tone Michael Kors dress, like a pregnant Jessica Alba worked the same trend in DVF. Perhaps it’s because Ashley’s clunky shoes were all wrong. One look at Gerard Butler in his snug, extremely well-cut suit, and all was well again.

Style Wars: Which Stunner Takes The Cake?

Old man Cavalli sure knows how to make the foxy ladies flock. He threw a 40th anniversary party in Paris last night, and gorgeous women from all over the world showed up in their most fabulous frocks by Roberto.

Heidi Klum seriously looks more amazing after every kid she births, Bar Refaeli made a turtlenecked dress look hot, and Rachel Bilson stepped out in curve-hugging leopard print. Say what you will about Taylor Swift‘s shaky vocal chops, her foray into a style icon is what’s keeping our attention – and we’re really digging her recently retro up-dos. Karolina Kurkova was among the countless Cavalli-lovin’ supermodels (Naomi Campbell, Natalie Vodianova, Eva Herzigova) who strutted their svelte stuff in show-stopping gowns.

Failing to impress was cuckoo bird Tyra Banks in a jumper-blazer combo, and Leona Lewis in an overly complicated coral number. We threw our five best dressed beauties in the poll above – who looked the most fab?

Style And Lawn Bowling Abound At Lagerfeld Party

60410431

If ever there was an instance of “Stars! They are definitely NOT like us!” this would be it. Karl Lagerfeld threw a garden party this weekend in St. Tropez and all of his beautiful model-type friends came out for it. Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson were there, as were Karolina Kurkova and Vanessa Paradis (known to jealous types as the woman who has her claws in Johnny Depp).

These celebs look stylish, cool and sporty (because what’s a party without lawn bowling?) and proved once again that we just don’t have what it takes rock a fedora hat. These guys definitely do, however.

Karolina Kurkova In The Nude, Cosmetically

Good news, common folk! Even supermodels need a little help from the beauty counter. Victoria’s Secret Angel and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Karolina Kurkova was spotted sans-makeup after hitting the gym in NYC today, and the results made us feel a little bit better about ourselves. When she’s not gracing magazine covers and strutting down runways, turns out Kurkova has average-woman pale skin, chapped lips, and barely-there eyebrows.

Okay, okay. There are still mile-long legs under those gym pants, and she looks pretty great for having a three-month-old baby at home. Throw us a bone. [Photo: Splash News Online]

More Celebs Welcome Babies

Call it a mini-baby-boom of celebs we’re not usually that interested in except for when they pop out a new sprog (oh, we’re so fickle). Supermodel Karolina Kurkova has welcomed her first child, son Tobin Jack Drury last Thursday. Plus, actress Mary Stuart Masterson is also a first-time mom to a son, too, at the impressive age of 43! Congratulations to both hot mamas. [Photos: WENN]

The Ladies We’re Thankful Exist

This Thanksgiving, instead of giving thanks for tired old things like a loving family (did that last year), good health (but you do have that nagging cold) and caring friends (who really just use up your phone minutes), why don’t you give thanks for the things that truly bring you joy, day in and day out: ladies. Whether they’re simply running around on a ridiculous tropical vacation or getting into some crazy hijinks, these ladies serve to brighten our otherwise dull days with vicious catfights and tons of skin.

Victoria’s Secret Heats Up Miami

Victoria’s Secret unloaded an army of models from a yacht and invaded the beach with a photo shoot in advance of its fashion show on Saturday. The show, which also served as a celebration of the reopening of the Fontainebleau resort (once a playground for the Rat Pack), featured an Usher performance, angel wings, plenty of panties and a $5 million dollar bra made of black diamonds and rubies. Recession, you say?

It’s been a buzzworthy year for Victoria’s Secret models — and it’s not just mega-celebrity Heidi Klum that’s capturing all of the attention. Marissa Miller topped Maxim‘s Hot 100 List. Miranda Kerr made headlines last week with rumors that she’s engaged to Orlando Bloom. Alessandra Ambrosio stumped the bra and panty modeling world by returning to the runway a mere three months after giving birth. Brazilian papers claimed that Karolina Kurkova has been doing fashion shows with “cellulite on her butt.” Whatever. And Adriana Lima made an appearance on Ugly Betty. Bring her back, please.
