Iman

Everyone wishes for silver and gold. (Well, at least that's what that singing snowman once said.) And at the CFDA Fashion Awards, Iman, who received the Fashion Icon Award, dazzled. A glittery gold shadow on the inner corners of her eyes, accompanied by a matte deep silver on the lids, made the most of her considerable beauty.

But she's more than just a pretty face. Michael Kors recently said that the 55-year-old model is "an icon for our times." And with her makeup collection, Iman Cosmetics, going strong since 1994, she's a savvy businesswoman as well. "At the end of the day, my legacy will not be modeling, but my cosmetics line," she told the New York Times.

Put your own spin on Iman's warm and cool look by playing with different textures and intensities. Use a shimmer, glitter, or subtle sparkle of vibrant gold or white gold and pair with a black, gray-brown, or dark taupe on the lids to customize for your complexion. Encircle the eyes with black eyeliner and top off with an illuminating bronzer and neutral lip gloss.

>> Iman Joins Isaac Mizrahi as Co-Host of Bravo's The Fashion Show —Although Alessandra Ambrosio was rumored for the position, Bravo just announced that Iman has signed on to replace Kelly Rowland as co-host of fashion competition series The Fashion Show. She joins host Isaac Mizrahi, who is returning for the second season. In the release, Iman notes: "I am so excited to be joining the Bravo team and to be working again with Isaac Mizrahi, my close friend of many, many years. I am also looking forward to all of the behind-the-scenes excitement and drama that is generated through the creative process of these undiscovered fashion designers. This will certainly be a show any follower of fashion will want to see.” The show is currently holding open calls and will air later this year.

>> At the CFDA meeting earlier today, the board voted overwhelmingly to re-elect Diane von Furstenberg for a third, two-year term as president of the organization.  Von Furstenberg, whose term would have originally come to an end after this year, will now serve until Dec. 31, 2012: “[The board] unanimously asked me to stay another two years and I said yes. I am happy that they love me and I love them. There is so much more to do and we’re doing it.”

And this evening, von Furstenberg held a cocktail gathering for the 2010 CFDA Award nominations announcements at her studio.  She noted that the awards ceremony on June 7 at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall will host a special tribute for Alexander McQueen, and the Popular Vote category, which is open to public voting and which Ralph Lauren won last year, will be back again this year, with voting starting April 1.

Wherever Iman goes, I follow. The model muse attended a Diane von Furstenberg event in a fresh DVF Josun Dress in Miranda Ruffles Green ($473, originally $675). Then, she layered on a black leather jacket and blue-hued arm candy — MCL by Matthew Campbell Laurenza bangles and a two-tone cocktail ring. Everything stuns, especially the wearer, but bold blue bangles and rings add exotic envy to any arm.

Rihanna stole the show in her dramatic white dress as she and her fellow honorees took the red carpet at last night's Glamour Women of the Year celebration in NYC. Carnegie Hall was brimming with beautiful ladies from Iman to Maria Shriver and Diane von Furstenberg. Catherine Zeta-Jones stood out in blue and had Michael Douglas by her side for support. Rih was just one of a handful of women who were chosen by the magazine, but all eyes were on her — and most of you are loving the look, just the latest in her fashion metamorphosis!

Padma Lakshmi showed off her growing baby bump while one of the evening's honorees Stella McCartney smiled big with her award up on stage where she also had some trouble with her super short skirt. Amy Poehler and Michelle Obama were two of the magazine's other women of the year, though the First Lady didn't attend the event since she was with her husband President Barack Obama visiting with families at Fort Hood. The night was full of inspirational and important females who spoke and mingled, celebrating each other and Glamour's picks. Rihanna has come out strong opening up about her difficult year and what all this means to her – check out Rih's heartfelt speech after the jump.
