Heather Graham essentially wore a nightgown to last night’s CFDA event, which I guess isn’t a complete shock for a woman who once wore a bustier and hot pants to the premiere of a children’s movie. For decades now, I’ve always thought that Heather is so gorgeous, but she’s not a big fashion girl in any sense of the word. So let’s talk about this pale blue nightie, which a few websites have mistakenly identified as Marchesa, and it’s certainly an Ice-Capadey enough design that such a mistake is both understandable and hilarious. This is in fact a Nicole Miller design, and here she is with the (back of the) designer; as you can see, this dress had a nice amount of movement and got all fluttery (and mullety?) when Heather set it into motion.

Heather’s big blue eyes were on full display at the event, and the color of the gown really played them up. So maybe those peepers help a little to distract from the fact that Heather was wearing lingerie on the red carpet. Or maybe not.

Karen Elson bared her midriff in a jade-green-and-black patterned dress that looked like a two-piecer. Not many people (or models even) could pull off this look, but Karen’s sense of style is so offbeat that it somehow works for her. Those funky, red, peep-toe sandals are equally bizarre, but Karen works them too.

Karolina Kurkova‘s dress was quite strange, and at first glance, it almost looks to be constructed from Egyptian-patterned fabric. But up close, there’s all sorts of stuff going on, and the effect is way too busy. Karolina opted for an Erickson Beamon necklace and black and gold strappy sandals as well. The really odd part of this dress though is the cape. Weird, right?
