Zoe Saldana in black Prabal Gurung at the CFDAs: busted or cute?

I completely forgot about the CFDAs (Council of Fashion Designers of America). It’s sort of like the Met Gala, only not as glamorous and much more about the actual designers rather than the Fashion Girls. Thus, the photos and fashion moments aren’t quite as good. Like, the most “important” people at the Met Gala were (arguably) Beyonce and Gisele Bundchen. The most important people at the CFDAs were designers/celebrities Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Anyway, Zoe Saldana was one of the most photographed women at the event (which should tell you something), so here you go. Zoe wore Prabal Gurung, and she was Gurung’s “date” too – that’s Gurung in the tux. I’m not crazy about the gown – it’s too busy. I know that a strange thing to say about a black gown, but the sheer panels and insets seem schizophrenic.

And here’s my girl Doutzen Kroes, in yet another black gown, this one by Sophie Theallet. It reminds me of the Dior gown Charlize wore to the UK SWATH premiere a few weeks ago – and I didn’t care for that Dior for the same reason I don’t care for this Theallet. It’s too sheer, too exposed. We’re looking at Doutzen’s chicken cutlet falsies, right?

Seth Meyers and his girlfriend, Alexi Ashe. This is just a reminder: Seth Meyers is not your boyfriend. He is Alexi Ashe’s boyfriend. Stop calling him and stop daydreaming about going on upstate New York minibreaks with him. It’s not happening. Sidenote: I hate Alexi’s dress.

    I’m just wondering… How much money does professional beard make in Hollywood?

    • Aiobhan says:

      Depends on the star. I am pretty sure Katie Holmes,Kelly Preston make/made big bucks because they got married and had kids. If they are just dating it is much cheaper like anyone attached to Zac Efron and Bradley Cooper. If they are just a side piece for a designer they probably get a free dress, a lot of booze, and body shamed for not fitting into a sample properly. Even though a two year old would not have been able to get into the sample.

      BTW I like Zoe’s dress. But I am also a label whore. So you really cannot count my opinion for much.

  2. Amy says:

    Ah, if only Seth Myers was my boyfriend. He’s just so freaking cute!

  3. Khara says:

    I am a big Prabal fan, but the bottom half of this dress looks like a shower curtain…the Theallet dress looks like a Fifties kitchen curtain and the last one is just plain ugly, enough said about these imitations of a black dress!

  4. Lindsey says:

    Yuck. WTF is daydreaming about friggin Seth Meyers???

  5. madpoe says:

    She’s pretty. The second pix kinda reminded me of Thandie Netwon for a second. I don’t think I’d wear that dress out from the bedroom or the catwalk though.

  6. kate says:

    I love Zoe’s dress. Doutzen, not so much, but what a stunning women. Whenever I look at her I’m reminded of a disney princess.

  7. Eve says:

    I actually like Saldana’s dress — minus that sheer skirt (or extra skirt, whatever that thing is). I think it would have looked amazing had it been opaque and without that slit — it does make the skirt look like a shower curtain like Khara (# 3) said above.

    • I.want.shoes says:

      I agree! And only a small chested girl like Saldana could pull off the plunging neckline without looking trashy.

    • lucy2 says:

      I agree too – I didn’t mind it, until I scrolled down and saw the sheer skirt.

  8. Janet says:

    God-freaking-awful. She’s a beautiful girl and she has the worst style sense I’ve ever seen in my life.

  9. Really? says:

    Doutzen looks great, she wears the dress, where other two look like the dresses are wearing them. I tried to like Zoe’s dress, but i just can’t.

  10. hateonit. says:

    Zoe is ugly. she looks like an alien. all those dresses are not appealing. the end 🙂

  11. Eve says:

    Stop calling him and stop daydreaming about going on upstate New York minibreaks with him. It’s not happening.

    That’s precisely what Stefon does every time he shows up during SNL’s Weekend Update.

  12. Zelda says:

    I like the Zaldana dress and would like the Kroes, minus that hideous neck bit. The last one looks half swimsuit and half itchy crochet, failing in so many ways we don’t have time.

  13. Sisi says:

    Doutzen seems to be wearing shiny underwires without cups

  14. kay says:

    She looks like the Grinch to me.

    loved her in star trek.

  15. Lindy says:

    That last chick’s dress is awful. But oddly enough, the other two black dresses with cut-outs/sheer panels I find really beautiful and flattering (the ones on Saldana and Doutzen however you spell it). Huh.

  16. Green_Eyes says:

    Why does every designer now feel the need to put cutouts in their garments and call it fashion? No, some are cute, but most look like they messed up and cut out bits of fabric… As for the sheer… Same thing applies, it’s not art people, my 4 yr old niece does cutouts on her barbie clothes by accident better than some of the garments these designers come up w/… She’ll sell one o these Stars, help contribute to her college fund!

    • Sisi says:

      I agree. And it’s not fashion-forward anymore anyway. Why would a high-fashion designer want to use something so mainstream.

  17. hannah says:

    It’s the CFDA AWARDS so of course it’s about the designers.

  18. Kim says:

    All look busted. Cut outs are so out of style. Have been since the 90’s.

  19. v says:

    Seth’s girlfriend is pretty, but every time I see a picture of them together I think they are related. They look so similar.

  20. DreamyK says:

    Who cares about The Grinch? The designer, Prabal Gurung, looks fabulous in that tux. What a cutie!

  21. F5 says:

    Zoe’s got unfortunate face.. D:

  22. Ranga says:

    I only like Zoe’s dress here. Her head looks mighty big on her body, mantis like.
