Garance Doré and Scott Schuman, 2012 CFDA Awards
One of the issues many people have with black tie dressing: they get all dolled up in a style that doesn’t look anything like the way they normally dress. So it was refreshing to see Garance Doré and Scott Schuman looking like their normal selves to receive the CFDA media award, only even more fabulous. Garance wore a green Derek Lam dress, a nice, cheerful flash of color on the red carpet, and Scott a Dior tux. Congrats for the award, and especially for keeping it clean when so many other bloggers blur the line between editorial and advertising.

There are now three photos of stylish women in white dresses on the home page. See a pattern emerging? Model Selita Ebanks did the black tie version with this Herve Leger dress, a combination of his signature bondage dress and flowing gown with silver sequin detailing.
Tabitha Simmons and Karen Elson in Proenza Schouler, 2012 CFDA Awards
Tabitha Simmons’ shoes have become a big favorite for celebs walking the red carpet, so it’s no surprise that the designer herself looked perfectly at ease in the same environment. The designer and former model, who won the Swarovski award for accessory design, wore a Proenza Schouler jacket and dress and shoes of her own design, as did model Karen Elson, in a green Proenza Schouler ensemble. These were two of my favorite red carpet looks of the night – elegant but daring.
Hilary Rhoda in Rebecca Minkoff, 2012 CFDA Awards
Rebecca Minkoff may have been nominated for a CFDA award in accessory design, but it was her dress that really wowed on last night’s red carpet. Model Hilary Rhoda wore this fabulous blue Rebecca Minkoff dress to the 2012 CFDA Awards. The vivid color, the complex structure and sexy cutouts all combine for a modern bombshell effect.

Black Lace Party Dress, Parsons MFA Exhibit
The little black dress is great for a party no matter what the time of year. Designer Jade Rozenbroek wore a lace dress by COS with polka dot tights to her show at the First Eighteen, the Parsons MFA exhibit. Lace also plays a part in her designs for Jack & Jade, pictured after the jump.

An oversize insect pin conjured up the surrealist designs of Elsa Schiaparelli on this guest en route to the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute Gala. A white silk dress and gray fur provide the perfect neutral but elegant backdrop.
