Freaky or Fabulous? Genie Power at CFDA Awards

Lookie who decided to come out of their bottles and to the CFDA Awards!
by

Lookie who decided to come out of their bottles and to the CFDA Awards! Vogue Editor at Large André Leon Talley and supermodel Naomi Campbell obviously consulted one another on their wardrobes and the unanimous decision was to channel a genie, harem pants and all! Check out André's velvet fuchsia slippers. Actually, to be more accurate, he looks like a mix between a genie and a chef. On the streets, this duo, especially André, would freak people out, but at a fashion soiree, they're fab-u-lous. Do you agree?

After the CFDA Awards red carpet last night the gorgeous group sat down for dinner and the award ceremony at the New York Public Library. There were big smiles all around from Ashley Olsen and Eva Mendes cozying up to Francisco Costa to Eva Longoria giggling with Tom Ford. Victoria Beckham was just excited to kick back and relax after taking the stage to present the Womenswear Designer of the Year Award, saying, "I always get so nervous. I'm rubbish, absolutely rubbish at doing things like that. I just glad it's over and done with. I've sung in front of millions of people but when it comes to doing something as simple as talking, I completely go to pieces."

Mandy Moore is just such an adorable celeb. What's not to like about her natural beauty and witty personality? She pulled out all stops the last night at the CFDA Awards in a fabulous navy blue Abaete gown with white detailing. I love this feminine and sleek look on her. What do you think?

The beautiful and very well-dressed hit the red carpet in NYC last night for the CFDA Awards. The honors may have been all about the designers — check out all the winners here — but the photo ops belonged to the star-studded guest list. Just another night in the life of these fabulous familiar faces. Victoria Beckham may not be in any more of Marc Jacobs' quirky ads, but she looked fierce back in those high heels on his arm and posing with her new BFF Eva Longoria. Other highlights included a towering Mandy Moore, a demure Ashley Olsen and a very sparkly Hilary Duff. Check out all the looks here and then let Fab know which you love and hate and vote with Bella on who had the best hair of the night.

Despite a Death in the Family, the CFDA Awards March On
>> While the "fashion Oscars" are a time for celebration, this year, many attendees had another recent event on their minds — the recently deceased Yves Saint Laurent. In tribute, Diane von Furstenberg wore vintage YSL, Naomi Campbell donned Fall 2008 Saint Laurent, and Ashley Olsen riffed on Le Smoking in her Calvin Klein suit.

As expected, models and designers turned out in droves — Erin Wasson, still in leg cast, was by Alexander Wang's side, and Francisco Costa celebrated his Womenswear win by hugging Eva Mendes tight.

For more of the comings and goings, be sure to check out the gallery below.

2008 CFDA Awards: Eva Longoria

I don't think I've ever noticed cleavage on Eva Longoria but tonight is a clearly a special night.

I don't think I've ever noticed cleavage on Eva Longoria but tonight is a clearly a special night. Her tight pink DVF dress exposes her tatas in a major way. I would have toned it down a bit, but that's just me. Otherwise, I think the color works for her. What do you think?

I know some of you are thinking: Will Ashley ever stop doing the menswear thing? But, I say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. She's fashion forward and is one of the few who can wear a relaxed, boyish Calvin Klein tux and make it look desirable. In fact, I'm off to get mine now. What are your thoughts?
