Red Carpet Fashion Awards

It would not be a true fashion awards show without an Anna Wintour sighting.

The Editor-In Chief of American Vogue attended the 2012 CFDA Fashions Awards in New York City on Monday night wearing a Marc Jacobs dress – as she did last year – from the Resort 2013 collection.

While the collection debuted just yesterday, Anna had first dibs on the brightly coloured collection; adjusting her chosen floral dress into one of her beloved sheaths.

The sparkling floral print is a festive spin on Anna’s signature look, but in the styling department, it was business as usual.

Flawless bob? Check. Sunnies at night? Check. Favourite Manolo Blanhik heels? Check. Beaded necklace? Check.

Anna certainly has her signature style, and she is sticking to it.

I love the addition of the maroon belt and the beige croc clutch which is as rare as seeing Jessica Chastain carrying a clutch.

Elizabeth Banks was spotted outside the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City prior to her guest appearance on the ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ yesterday afternoon.

The ‘Hunger Games’ actress wore black for only the second time this year.

After attending the Marc Jacobs Fall 2012 presentation, I did say that apart from the sequin dress Elizabeth wore to the ‘Hunger Games’ Paris premiere, many of the dresses would require modifications to make them red carpet ready.

Elizabeth’s black paisley-print mini dress only retains the material and the pleated detail at the waist from the runway look.

With her hair teased into an updo, she completed her look with vintage jewels and Jerome C. Rousseau ‘Orner’ pewter strappy sandals.

Alexa Chung attended the 2012 Met Gala, as the guest of Marc Jacobs.

The British star wore a look from Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2012 collection.

Her leather and purple floral-print metallic off-the-shoulder dress was styled with a white shirt instead of the floral shirt presented on the runway.

I would’ve loved to have seen the look without the shirt, but the boyish shirt suits Alexa tomboy sense of style.

A black clutch and Tabitha Simmons ‘Alessandra’ lace-up heels completed her look.

I have to say I love the bouffant on this occasion. A very rare statement with regards to Alexa Chung.

There was some major fist pumping going on when I saw Elizabeth Banks hit the red carpet in Paris for ‘The Hunger Games’ premiere last night.

Despite surmising that the Marc Jacobs Fall 2012 collection would be hard to wear on the red carpet, I did pick out look 40 as the most red carpet ready piece.

Well score, because Elizabeth agreed by donning this pink sequined dress on the red carpet.

She thankfully wore her hair up in a chic chignon to show off that beautiful neckline with four oversized floral accents.

Her fitted dress, which gives her a tiny waist, was styled with Kara Ackerman Designs earrings, a small black clutch, and black Walter Steiger patent platform heels.

Rose Byrne: The actress was the last to arrive for the Marc Jacobs presentation which took place during New York Fashion Week. The photogs managed to snap this picture before she was rushed to her front-row seat. She wore a gingham cropped-sleeve coat from the Spring 2012 collection with Mary Janes and a yellow fringed clutch from the same collection.

Dakota Fanning: It wasn’t a surprise to see the actress front row at the Marc Jacobs show earlier this week. She wore a shimmering Marc Jacobs Spring 2012 eyelet dress with a beaded tiered chiffon-accented hemline. A blue Marc Jacobs clutch with clear fringed details and Mary Janes completed her look.

Maria Sharapova: The tennis champ was the surprising attendee of the Marc Jacobs presentation. She wore an ice-blue tulle Marc Jacobs dress with velvet strips. The clutch and the shoes are so out of whack with the dress.

Marc Jacobs and milliner Stephen Jones brought Alice in Wonderland’s Mad Hatter to life with an oversized floppy hat worn by the models during his Fall 2012 fairytale-themed runway show on Monday evening.

It wasn’t just the hats that were oversized; coats, jackets, skirts and scarves, held together with large safety pins, all got the same ‘bigger is better’ treatment.

These pieces would make for very cosy winter attire.

It’s no wonder that everything was so oversized because there was a lot of layering. One look had a shrug over a jacket, over a dress with cropped pants.

The colour palette ranged from moody hues of black, forest green, violet and navy, to bubbly pastel pinks.

Textures were rich and patterns ranged from jacquard and brocade to paisley and floral.

Key accessories included chunky shoes with big embellished buckles paired with shimmering socks and oversized top handle bags in ostrich or lacquered leather.

Which pieces will we see on the red carpet?

Well, if you strip down the layering there were many cute embellished and shimmering dresses that I’m sure we will see on front-row attendee Dakota Fanning, or we will see commercial versions of these looks on the red carpet.

Helena Bonham Carter is probably the only person who could pull off all of these looks as presented – hats included.

Look 40, the hologram sequined dress with the rosette details around the neckline, is the most red carpet ready look of this collection.

Who wants to place a bet that Anna Dello Russo will wear one of these hats before fashion week (month) ends in March?

Front Row: Maria Sharipova, Rose Byrne, Jared Leto, and Dakota Fanning
