Here are some photos from last night’s CFDA Awards (where Lady Gaga was named a “Fashion Icon”). Jessica Alba was in attendance, of course, because she doesn’t have much going on and she fancies herself a fashion girl. She jacked some color tips from Cheryl Cole for this Diane Von Furstenberg gown. Is this the new color scheme and no one told me? Bright purple and orange, co-existing together in one outfit. Good to know. In any case, considering the maternity dress doesn’t look like Pepto-Bismol vomit, I’m going to give Alba a fashion pass. Yeah, this color scheme is very “Jack Nicholson as The Joker”. But the real style fail is Alba’s hair. Very few women can really make this tightly-slicked back, “instant facelift” hairstyle work. On Alba, it looks wonky. She has such pretty hair – why not just style it around her face?

Next up: Lucy Liu, over-dressing in Monique Lhuillier. Most ladies were wearing cocktail dresses, but there were a few gowns. But basically it was just Gaga and Liu who decided to wear giant show-stopping dresses. Gaga’s excuse was that she was being named a fashion icon. Liu doesn’t have an excuse. She just decided to wear a ball gown to a cocktail party.

Here’s Naomi Watts in Calvin Klein. I love the dress… on Naomi. On someone else, it might have looked like an unfashionable sack. You have to be slender and blonde to make this sack look good, I think.

And finally, Kelly Bensimon wearing God knows what. She really has no idea how to keep it covered up. She looks like Steven Tyler.
