Monday nights CFDA Awards saw fashion’s elite come out to celebrate new stars as well as brilliant veterans of the industry.
Talk about fabulous; sporting a turquoise bob and a corset get-up by Mugler, a label now helmed by her friend Nicola Formichetti, Lady Gaga took the stage to accept her award as the years top style icon.
We hear that the ever-composed Gaga was teary eyed as she recalled getting the text message from Anna Wintour telling her that she was picked for the prize. Thinking the message was from a friend named Anna she replied with a bleep-worthy response. The text back from the Vogue editor-in-chief said, How lovely.
The evening’s host, the ever dapper silver fox Anderson Cooper, clad in a Ralph Lauren tux, delighted the audience with a montage of his early days as a preteen model.
Naomi Watts, dressed in a metallic T-shirt-style gown by Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein, presented the top womenswear honor to Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler.
Karolina Kurkova, in a striking hooded jumpsuit made of green sequins by Diane von Furstenberg, read the names of the winners in the Swarovski emerging-talent categories: Eddie Borgo for accessories, Robert Geller for menswear and Prabal Gurung for womenswear.
Designer Marc Jacobs, who is 48, was there for his half-lifetime achievement award, according to presenter Sofia Coppola who was clad in a simple white dress from the designers resort collection
Kanye West, who handed the international design prize to Phoebe Philo of Celine, said hes been known to go into a Celine store and try on the clothes — womenswear, no less!
