My CFDA Gems

This past Monday, June 4th the annual CFDA awards show was held in New York City.  It was another night full of beautiful people and brilliant dresses!  I've spent a few days reading about the best and worst dressed and I have to say while I agree with most... I can't help but wonder why Jessica Stam didn't make the top ten!?  In my opinion she was one of my absolute favourite picks from the night.  And I'm not even being bias towards the small town girl who grew up a few towns over from me...Shout out to Kindcardine ;)

This year I've been really drawn towards floor length, sleek gowns that having sheer details and/or draping.  Something about being feminine but risqué I just find irresistible! The 3 looks I was big into were:

3. Zoe Saldana in Prabal Gurung

This black gown looks made for Zoe Saldana.  The peek-a-boo cutouts hit her in all the right places! Black is always a classic go-to for such a sleek gown.  I love the deep V neckline and personally I think her hair up was the only way to go so that the details on this Prabal Gurung beauty can be truly appreciated.

2. Mandy Moore in Lela Rose

Hidden gem Mandy Moore looks elegant as ever in this Lela Rose goddess-like dress.  Something about her just screams confidence...I love love love the embellished shoulders! AND anyone who can wear a dress with shoulder emphasis and not look like a linebacker is beautiful in my books! 

1. Jessica Stam in Jason Wu

Okay seriously!? Hiiiii Jessica Stam! I dare you to get sexier! Why have I not been able to find blogs or articles where someone is giving this absolutely stunning woman any acknowledgement!  This Jason Wu dress is amazing.  The colour...I swear it changes her eyes to the exact same hue! The draping, the sheer, bold colour on black, her hair, her face.... BRAVO!

I get so excited talking about this look and dress I think next time I write about a girl crush it will have to be Jessica Stam!
