We can't get enough of Ashley Madekwe's polished plays on the trends — and tonight's CFDA Awards look is no exception. The Revenge star hit the red carpet in a sophisticated-meets-sexy sky-blue sheath that revealed just a hint of skin with a subtle cutout at the bodice. She completed her fashion-conscious ensemble with gold accoutrements and a chic pair of white pumps (and a glowing tan!). Thoughts?

Mena Suvari, Ashley Madekwe, and Emily Mortimer provided the stylish star-studded edge to last night's Mulberry dinner at LA's storied Chateau Marmont. Held to fete the label's latest collection, it seemed more than a little appropriate that the attendees also wear some of the pieces right off the Fall '13 runway. Suvari wrapped up in a black fur-lined Winter waistcoat, but offset the classic choice with a serious pair of flame-embellished pumps. Revenge's Madekwe paired animal-print trousers (from the Pre-Fall lineup) with an off-white peplum blouse, black ankle-strap Monika Chiang pumps, and a small Suffolk bag, while The Newsroom's Mortimer styled a silky emerald top with a black pencil skirt, textured black Willow clutch, and black heels. Which starlet got her dinner outfit right?
On screen, Revenge's leading ladies may all have adopted the Hamptons-socialite brand of chic, but at last night's Academy of Television Arts & Sciences-hosted evening with the cast, the actresses each showed off their respective offscreen aesthetics in three very different cocktail looks. Christa B. Allen showcased a sweet fit-and-flare, collared confection with a sheer-inset and sequined bodice, which she completed with a pair of right-on-trend metallic pumps. Emily VanCamp veered toward the opposite end of the spectrum, opting for a menswear-inspired riff on suiting in classic black and white, with a pair of equally traditional black heels to finish it off. Meanwhile, Ashley Madekwe took the opportunity to show off something a little more colorful, stepping out in a bright pink minidress with studded detailing and a pair of simple ankle-strap evening sandals. Now, we're turning it over to you — which of the Revenge actresses gets your vote?
Middle fringe can be a serious pain to grow out, but Ashley Madekwe showed us a new take on the less-than-pleasant process. The Revenge star stepped out with full, cascading fringe that curtained her eyes. The cut then curved down into a piecey face frame. Usually, growing out your bangs means brushing them to one side and then pinning them back, but what do you think of Ashley's overgrown style?
Harper's Bazaar drew out a fashion-centric celebrity crowd with last night's celebration of Decades' new Bravo series, Dukes of Melrose, with arrivals including this trio of trendsetters: Cat Deeley, Ashley Madekwe, and Sophia Bush. Cat bared her midriff in a navy-and-red striped crop top and pleated skirt set from Michael Kors Spring '13, but kept the rest simple with understated pumps and just a punched-up red lip. Ashley adhered to a more traditional party-dress dress code in a Three Floor LBD (which you can purchase!) with a flirty flared skirt and a pair of ankle-strap evening sandals to finish it off. Meanwhile, Sophia hit the red carpet in a one-shouldered vintage Halston number that played perfectly into the night's celebration of the famed vintage boutique Decades. Now it's up to you to pick your best-dressed winner from the night's event — which look is your favorite?
