Oh, you know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder - granted!

One never really knows what to expect the attendees to adorn themselves in when awards are given out at a fashion event. With the exception of the high water trend [post below], (which by the way I'm understanding since posting is all the rage in Europe and even the streets of NYC - who woulda thunk it) all faired pretty well. Well, with a few definite misses ...

The Faves

  • Zani Gugelmann, in Peter Som for Bill Blass, with RafĂ© Totengco
  • Famke Janssen in David Meister
  • Bergdorf Goodman's Linda Fargo
  • Monique Lhuillier, in her own design, with Tom Bugbee

Here are our yays and nays of the night. Feel free to post your own thoughts and comments as you please - xo


Yay

  • Carolina Herrera and Calvin Klein, presumably in their own designs
  • Jill Hennessy, in Nicole Miller
  • David Lauren with Lauren Bush, in Ralph Lauren
  • Hilary Rhoda, in Proenza Schouler
  • Vogue's Sylvana Soto-Ward, in Jay Ahr, with Olivia Chantecaille, in Jason Wu, and Jason Wu
  • Lauren Santo Domingo, in Proenza Schouler
  • Francisco Costa with Eva Mendes, in Calvin Klein Collection
  • Dries Van Noten with Sylvie Picquet, in his design


Nay

  • Maggie Gyllenhaal, in Proenza Schouler
  • Julie Macklowe and Robert Burke
  • Erin Wasson and Alexander Wang, in his design (even w/o the crutches and cast this is a no-go for me)
  • Aerin Lauder Zinterhofer, in Proenza Schouler (would you think she had a fashion empire at her disposal?)
  • Donna Karan, in her own design
  • Laura Mulleavy, Mandy Moore, and Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte
  • Vera Wang (I adore Vera, but those pieces on the front take away from the beauty of her gown)
  • Jane Lauder

Now, now ... I know I tend to veer more to the conservative side in fashion. I adore simplicity and classic looks. But I'd like to think that even my more trendy friends would be aghast at the thought of the high water look resurfacing ... oh, please, say it isn't so!
