Our Awards For Best (and Worst) Outfits From Last Night's CFDA Bash

By Xiyin Tang, Christene Barberich, and Piera Gelardi

By now, you probably know the list of CFDA award winners as well as your own name (Wang, Proenza, Rodarte, Hamilton, Marc...), but what about the outfits attendees wore to the bash? Kirsten Dunst was instantly the talk to the fashion flock when she showed up in her space-age-y Rodarte frock, but then again, nothing parts a crowd like Daphne Guinness' tall and elegant presence. So we had our very own little fashion awards, in which we doled out Bests, Worsts, and even a Lifetime Achievement Award to some of the brightest (and tackiest) outfits from the Oscars of fashion last night.

Lifetime Achievement Award: Daphne Guinness

Come black streak or blonde lock, McQueen heels or Proenza dress, the heiress and style icon always manages to look divine.

Worst Use of Color: Ashley Olsen

We may have lauded her for her simple, floor-length white gown at the Met gala, but we thinks it's time for this 20-something to up the hem line a little—you're not about to go into retirement, Ash...but then again, your movie career might suggest otherwise.

Best Use of Color: Diane Kruger

Girl knows how to work the details...the little black belt, a contrasting color clutch, and the best accessory of all: Cute designer Jason Wu on her arm. But our question: Where's Pacey?

Best Runway-to-Reality: Kirsten Dunst

Of course Kirsten gets her hands on the full Rodarte fall runway look before anyone else. And then shimmies into those sky-high Nicholas Kirkwood heels like it ain't no thang.

Worst Runway-to-Reality: Molly Sims

We don't know where to begin with this one, so we think we'll end it here—the outfit says it all.

The AC/DC Award: Alexander Wang's short suit

Move over Marc's kilt, there's a new bottom in town. Tasty.

Cute boys and cuter clothes after the break!

Menswear Award: Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough; Jeff Halmos and Sam Shipley (tie)
What? The CFDA Menswear award had a tie, so we can, too! We don't know what's cuter...Jeff's bowtie or Jack's healed nose.
Most Bland: Blake Lively
We want to nap looking at her, but the glaring fuschia of her Michael Kors sack is shocking us into an awake state. Unfortunately.
