Iman on the red carpet is always a special moment, but it was made that much more special at the 2011 Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s Opening Night Gala performance in New York City last night.
That’s because the uber model was wearing the first look from the Zac Posen Spring 2012 collection.
As you know, this was my favourite Spring 2012 show, so to see a glamazon like Iman don the first look is truly a ‘we are not worthy’ moment for me.
I was patiently waiting for award season, so it feels like Christmas has come early.
With her hair swept up in retro marcel waves, Iman looked sensational wearing a burgundy silk-faille pleated gown which is doing so many amazingly great things to her impossibly spectacular body.
I could’ve lived without the necklace, but I do love her matchy clutch.
Iman continues to outdo herself and defy her years. I will always be in total awe of this woman.

+1 FC. She is a Goddess. I too would have been happier without the necklace though.
She looks divine, but I agree, th encklace detract from the look. When you havea gown liek this (and are Iman), the simpler, more delicate the jewels and accessories, the better.
She’s gotta be an alien, nobody is this perfect…sigh. I too would have skipped the necklace and the bangles as well. This spectacular gown doesn’t need any bling.
Goddess is the perfect word!! I also agree about the necklace and this look would have been just as phenomenal without any jewels at all as Jones19 said. This women is just out of this world!
No need for a necklace, agree, but man, oh man, she looks SPECTACULAR!!! Her posture/poise are incredible, that`s the way to wear a gown!
i totally agree.
Spectacular isn’t a word I throw around
I meant to say … but I agree totally she is spectacular… gurly needs a coffee!
DIVA! BDOTW
Drop dead gorgeous!
Flawless! The quintessential diva.
My BDOTW — my bow down of the week.
+ 1
Stunning. Her and Dita Von Teese have given me quite a bit to think about for this week’s BDOTW poll.
agreed
I love this blog I read it everyday. That said, as a jewelry designer, I love the necklace, I want to put jewelry on everyone. While you prefer the les is more, I prefer more is better, but that is just me.
Thank you.
I can imagine dressing people in your jewels would be a lot of fun x
BDOTY worthy
Agreed. This would definitely make in my BDOTY list. Just wow.
nothing really works for me, i don’t like the dress, the hairdo ages her and the make up is to heavy. she looks kinda frosted, her skin is soo tight, looks not natural at all..
You’re kidding, right?
You ‘re kidding, right? [x2]
Dunzoo….I don’t love it either. You’re not alone…
i’m glad that i’m not the only one not really liking this look
She looks amazing & is working the hell out of that gown…BDOTW without a doubt! She looks magnificent – such a stunner! And I agree with Jones19 that she must be an alien to look this good!
She is ICONIC. Both in fashion and style. Love her.
She’s not human. STUNNING!
She is DIVINE !!! BDOTW for sure….
I actually quite like the necklace. It works with everything quite well and isn’t a huge bling-ey thing that some would’ve added.
One of the BDOTY for me.
OMG,love Iman and this colour on her!!
IMAN is always flawless, and the necklace doesn’t botter me because it goes well with everything and suits that vintage vibe. And, as someone else said, it is a delicate necklace, not bling!on!Your!Face.
Love this, one of the Best Dressed of The Year, easy.
BDOTY for me as well! WOW! I am blown away by her beauty. Honestly, as long as she is put together, she can wear anything and look fantastic!
