Lady Gaga’s dress featured one of the publicity shots from her new album Born This Way. To finish her look in a more extravagant way the 25-year-old went for her trademark teetering platform boots.

By the way, have you heard that Gaga called Anna Wintour a “b****” by mistake (or not? Can it be just her next shocking act?). The star had been texted by Wintour after she won the coveted Fashion Icon accolade at the 2011 CFDA Award show on Monday. Thinking the message was from her friend called Anna, Gaga replied: ‘Yes, b****, we did it!” Very Gaga behavior!

Alessandra Ambrosio arrived at the ceremony held at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall in New York City wearing an impressive red Prabal Gurung gown. She expressed her joy with the fact the designer had won the Best New Designer Of The Year award by twitting:

Omg @prabalgurung just won best new designer of the year!!! I feel so lucky to be chosen to wear his amazing dress!!! Love him!!”

Chanel Iman looked fantastic in her turquoise dress.

Karolina Kurkova probably decided it was too boring to wear a classy dress to the 2011 CFDA Awards. So, she opted for a glittering emerald-green hooded gown. She accessorized her look with Atelier Swarovski by Hariri and Hariri ring and Atelier Swarovski by Rodrigo Otazu cuffs and collar necklace.

Miranda Kerr opted for a chic Michael Kors floor length skirt and a matching cashmere black strap bodysuit.

Eniko Mihalik opted for a black look, too. She appeared at the 2011 CFDA Awards in a simple black halter gown.

Karlie Kloss was accompanied at the ceremony by Jason Wu who had also designed her sexy dress.

Doutzen Kroes opted for an asymmetrical red gown which she teamed up with a pair of lace Louboutin ankle boots.

Hana Soukupova was traditional in the choice of her attire for the 2011 CFDA Awards. She wore a luxurious Marchesa dress.

The two designers are known for their grungy style. Ashley and Mary-Kate have recently explained why they love wearing baggy and layered clothing. They told it was media that made them dress that way, and… laziness.

Surprisingly enough the Olsens manage to design beautiful garments. And for their The Row fashion line the sisters were nominated for the Swarovski Award for Womenswear. Unfortunately they didn’t win but Prabal Gurung was a deserving candidate too.

Marc Jacobs along with Proenza Schouler are nominated for Womenswear Designer of the Year. And the third person to join these designers is Alexander Wang, who’s taken home two CFDA awards already, two years in succession. He is actually nominated for three categories, the one already mentioned, Accessory Designer of the Year and Swarovski Awards for Menswear. So, he will definitely win at least one. Good luck anyway!

I’m also happy to see the Olsen sisters as nominees for the Swarovski Award for Womenswear category for their The Row line. I do hope they take the accolade.

Carey Mulligan, who was named the Best-Dressed Woman of the Year by Harper’s Bazaar magazine, opted for a gorgeous Chanel dress from the French label’s Fall/Winter Haute Couture Collection.

Gossip Girl starlet Leighton Meester looked wonderful in a custom-made Prabal Gurung dress. She was the visual proof of the fact Prabal Gurung deserved his award.

Kim Kardashian arrived at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards with designer Zac Posen wearing one of his fabulous designs – a floor-length blue gown with a colorful pattern in front.

Diane Von Furstenberg looked luxurious in her white knee-long dress and a fur coat over it. To finish her look the designer chose a pair of golden heels and a pretty clutch.

Pamela Love’s dress looked amazing – very feminine and sophisticated.

The Olsen sisters opted for their usual fur coats. They should definitely be more imaginative with their outfits!

Accessory designer Tory Burch also attended the ceremony of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards. She wore a tight-fitting floral-printed dress.

Keri Hilson’s option for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards looked great. Her assymentrical printed dress did attract attention.

The dress Karlie Kloss appeared in at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards was very beautiful by itself. But sincerely speaking it didn’t look impressive on the model. A woman with curves would look better in it.

The same thing I can say about Jacquelyn Jablonski who donned Thakoon creation to the ceremony.

Chanel Iman was wiser in choosing a dress for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards than her fellow models. The Altuzarra creation looked fantastic on her.

Another Gossip Girl actress, Blake Lively, also rocked Chanel design from the latest 2011 Spring/Summer Ready to Wear Collection. The see-through dress looked very sexy.

Christina Ricci strutted the red carpet with designer Peter Som and wore one of his elegant designs.

British model and TV host Alexa Chung also attended the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards. As usual she opted for a vintage look. By the way, Alexa is in the running to be named London’s style ambassador at the British Fashion Council’s annual gala on December 7. Some of her competitors include Emma Watson, Stella McCartney, and Tilda Swinton.

The prizes were bigger this year. Billy Reid received $300,000 (up from $200,000), while his runners-up Eddie Borgo and Prabal Gurung each took $100,000 (up from $50,000). However, as CFDA president Diane von Furstenberg noted “The main prize is the mentoring we provide.”

The rest of the CFDA finalists this year are: Christian Cota, Robert Geller, Oliver Helden and Paul Marlow of Loden Dager, Pamela Love of Pamela Love Jewelry, Moss Lipow and Gregory Parkinson. These young designers were treated to a keynote speech by Karl Lagerfeld.

Congratulations!!! We’re waiting for your fabulous works!

The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund is one of such. It is now six years old and offers emerging talents to get noticed and appreciated.

What is less encouraging is that no other country except the US holds this competition.

But as it is getting more and more popular I think we can hope that soon the situaion will change to the better. The U.K. has just launched its own new-designer competition and Italy has similar plans.

Vogue‘s editor Anna Wintour is interested in the subject a lot. She said she’d recently had a meeting with the French minister of culture about starting a similar contest in France.

And Brazil, India, Russia, and China aren’t far behind,” Wintour added. But still, she argued, “New York is the place to come for young designers to show what they’re capable of.”

The winners of this year come from different backgrounds. Womenswear designer Sophie Théallet is French. She was awarded the grand prize of $200,000 and a year-long mentorship.

Sophie commented:

I’m French, so I’m going to try to do my best. Thank you for making my American dreams come true.”

Among the runners-up were mentioned jewelry designer Monique Pean and menswear designer Patrik Ervell who received $50,000 each to pursue their designer plans. The former promised, “I won’t disappoint you,” while the latter told the judges, “Thank you for thinking of this award. We all appreciate it.”

You might not know these names yet but it is sure that soon you will. Sophie Théallet, for instance, has already got some recognition for dressing the First Lady for Senator Ted Kennedy’s funeral in August.

And the award she received can become a good start in her career of a world designer.

Remember Alexander Wang?

He was last year’s winner and now he is known all over the globe. Among other winner we can name: Rogan (2007), Doo-Ri Chung (2006), Trovata (2005) and Proenza Schouler (2004).

Ralph Lauren was admitted the most favorite American designer. He received the first-ever Popular Vote award winning the majority of the 15,000 online votes.

Mr. Lauren, whose fans are style stars Blake Lively and Angelina Jolie, accepted his award wearing a tuxedo jacket and jeans.

Rodarte sisters – Kate and Laura Mulleavy – got Womenwear Designer of the Year, that is absolutely deservedly!

Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez were awarded with Accessory Designer of the Year.

Alexander Wang amazed everyone wearing shorts to the ceremony but this didn’t bother him and Subversive’s Justin Giunta to take home the Swarovski Awards for young designers.

Marc Jacobs was given the International Award for his work at Louis Vuitton while the First Lady Michelle Obama received a Special Tribute for being a walking billboard of support for the fashion industry.

Michael Kors created the metallic one-shoulder mini for the mom-to-be Heidi Klum. This is what he said about it:

It’s a cousin of a dress from my collection.” Klum commented jokingly: “You mean this dress isn’t straight off the runway?” Her dress was perfect and looked pretty on her new figure. But those sky-high Louboutin spikes didn’t seem so adequate for her. But Heidi just said: “Nah, I’m a model, this is what I do.”

Blake Lively arrived a bit late for the event but she was able to make quite an entrance in her neon pink scissor sheath from Michael Kors.

Presenter Diane Kruger looked stunning in a Jason Wu lipstick red faille dress with micro beading and Swarovski embroidered epaulets.

Mr Wu was shining when, via video tape, CFDA Board of Directors’ Special Tribute award winner Michelle Obama told she was thankful to “the many designers who so graciously and beautifully play a part,” in her First Lady style.

Kerry Washington showed off in her wonderful gunmetal gown created by Doo Ri.

“She designed this dress for me,” she said smiling.

Michelle Trachtenberg was also a nice-looking star accessorizing her Behnaz Sarafpour dress with nearly one million dollars in Tiffany diamonds. She obviously didn’t feel much comfortable wearing it:

In red carpet pictures, you’ll often see me touching my necklace. That’s because I’m so terrified of losing something that I periodically check to make sure everything is still there.”

Claire Danes was wearing an embroidered black silk crepe gown from Narciso Rodriguez. The girl always stays true to the designer.

They have been friends since Rodriguez dressed the then 17-year-old actress for her first Academy Awards.

Nicole Miller confessed:

I designed ten dresses for Melissa to choose from.” She was speaking about Melissa George who wanted to have the perfect look for the ceremony. “But in the end, we ended up choosing a dress from my latest collection.” George replied giggling: “Now I have ten new gowns to take home with me!”

Despite the fact Zoe Saldana told it “takes a village,” to keep her looking chic, Calvin Klein’s Francisco Costa begged to differ.

Look at her, she’s perfect! You just have to do her justice,” Costa said of dressing the star, who wakled beside him to the CFDA after-party, hosted by Calvin Klein Collection.

The evening wouldn’t be so interesting unless some of Hollywood’s most outstanding people helped celebrate emerging designers at the 2009 CFDA Awards. Among those we can mention Molly Sims (in Dolce & Gabbana), Kirsten Dunst and Justin Timberlake.

GQ creative director Jim Moore received the Eleanor Lambert award and was personally honoured by Justin Timberlake and Emmanuelle Chriqui.

It turns out I’m a guy who could pull off wearing a kilt,” Timberlake, who is the co-creator of the William Rast line, said of Moore’s influence on his fashion sense. “Who knew?”

Some designers are used to the ceremony and are not surprised to hear their names in the list of awardees. But there are some who are quite new to the fashion industry and still can’t believe they are honored to be at the event and receive the award. Now I’m talking about Rodarte.

It’s so hard to be up here when we think where we started, making clothes in our house three years ago,” said Kate Mulleavy. “We never thought we’d be a part of this world.”

As you probably know at the ceremony CFDA Journal is distributed among the attendees. This time the nominees are featured in it wearing their own creations. It is worth seeing!

For example, Swarovski Womenswear Designer nominee Jason Wu models one of his evening gowns over a suit.
Designer of the Year nominees Laura and Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte are featured with rosy cheeks. International Award winner for Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, dons a pair of the bunny ears from his latest show on.

Another Swarovski Award For Womenswear Alexander Wang also poses in his creations.

The Journal itself won’t be available for ordinary customers unfortunately, but those who wish to be involved somehow can participate in a Popular Vote Award introduced by the CFDA.
