Diana von Furstenburg in her own design, Donna Karan & Vera Wang, Anna Wintour in Michael Kors.

Alessandra Ambrosio in Nonoo, Coco Rocha in Christian Siriano, Joan Smalls in Prabal Gurung, Ashley & Mary-Kate Olsen, Olivia Palermo in Ann Taylor.

Blake Lively in Michael Kors, Naomi Campbell.

The CDFA Awards is another big event in the fashion calendar and this year it did not disappoint. Can we just talk about Blake Lively please? She's still hitting the top of my best dressed list and I'm not even bored of it yet. This Michael Kors champagne colour dress just looks amazing on her ! I also really loved Joan Smalls' outfit, I think the cut is really interesting and flattering on her.

Of course, I can't talk about the CDFA Awards without mentioning Rihanna. I personally did not like the dress but you have to admire that she picked up the Fashion Icon Award in one of the most controversial dresses! What did you think of her dress?
