    Then and Now: The Summer Menswear Suit

    One of our favorite looks from last night's CFDA Awards was Leelee Sobieski looking crisp and refreshing in a cream and white menswear suit, accessorizing the masculine look with only a sexy red lip. Her oft-publicized resemblance to Helen Hunt brought us back to 1991, when Helen Hunt donned an oversized cream menswear suit for a play opening. Oh, how the tailoring has changed in the last 20 years. Leelee's suit was designed by husband Adam Kimmel, and we love the slim jacket paired with slouchier, high-waisted pants. Helen Hunt still managed to look adorable despite the monster-sized shoulders (remember she was fresh off the '80s). What are some of your favorite Summer suit looks?

    After yesterday's CFDA Awards was the afterparty atop the Meatpacking District's Standard Hotel. Many A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow and Sarah Jessica Parker called it a night after the main event, but other revelers continued their good times. Irina Lazareanu was one of the first to bound in with friends like Carmen Kass. Jason Wu and Alexander Wang, meanwhile, held court at the bar. Alexander passed out kisses to celebrate his Swarovski award for accessory design, but he grabbed one special friend to steal a moment of rest admiring the space's impressive city views.

    Elsewhere, Jamie Bochert made the rounds with her fiance Michael Pitt, J. Crew's Jenna Lyons posed for umpteen photos, and Alexis Bledel cozied up to Dree Hemingway. Many more models and designers mingled around the room including Donna Karan, Christopher Bailey, Liya Kibede, and Rag & Bone's David Neville.
