Who’s Wearing What:
Susan Sarandon chose to wear her favorite designer, Donna Karan, at The Accessories Council Presents the 8th Annual Ace Awards on
Brooke Shields, at that same event, (who was looking super low-carby), chose to carry a Donna Karan fur wrap, to complement her very simple Jones
Also at the Ace Awards, Nikki Taylor chose a fitted black strapless Escada dress with a row of coordinated black beading at the top of the bodice. She also wore a sheer silk shrug over the dress.
The always eccentric Patricia Field (what’s she doing now that she doesn’t have Sex & the City gals to dress?) came in a “colorful” Hermes ensemble. Her skirt was three tiered – the top of the skirt featured a drawstring chocolate leather piece, the middle was lime-green silk and the bottom was a lighter chocolate strip. She wore an exposed seamless black bra and a completely sheer, cut to the belly-button loose black tank top, over which she loosely wrapped a fringeless silk chiffon black scarf. Her shoes were three-toned, ankle-strapped silk-satin Miu Miu Prada, in a 40s style, as well as a black silk satin cape and a brown tweed hat. Seriously.
Over her Ungaro fuschia strapless cocktail length dress, Susan Lucci wore a J. Mendel fur wrap. She also had on barely there silver Manohlo Blahnik sandals and carried a Dior purse. Ever the promoter, she wore her own line of jewelry.
Kimora Lee Simmons, who wore a heavily beaded Marc Bouwer evening gown in silver, also chose Blahnik sandals for the event (hers were black strappy style).
Kim Catrall chose a cris-crossed black halter dress with mermaid hem, by Pamella Rolland.
Meanwhile, Bernadette Peters wore a fitted ivory evening gown by Donna Karan to The Actors' Fund of America "That's Entertainment" 2004 Annual Gala on October 30, 2400 at The Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC.
It was a big night of fashion at The Fashion Group International's 21st Annual Night of Stars
in NYC:
Michelle Pfeiffer wore her favorite designer Giorgio Armani, a beautiful black silk chiffon full skirted dress, accented by several rows of black ribbon. The thin-strapped dress was low cut, with just a hint of nude mesh at the cleavage. She topped it with a black embroidered jacket with black fur trim. She wore gold sandals and carried a black silk satin clutch.
Heidi Klum (who arrived with her tux-clad beau, singer Seal) was in a very defined, sexy Armani dress: long, black with a three-tiered skirt, it featured cut-outs on either side, and a bra halter top that cris-crossed at the chest.
Usher, in faded jeans and black shoes, wore a formal wedding style Armani tux top, with vest and shirt and boutonnière.
Nicholas Nickleby star Charlie Hunnan donned an elegant all-black Armani tux, with a white shirt and silk-satin black tie.
Eva Longoria wore a super fitted halter beaded ivory dress by Bradley Bayou for Halston. The dress featured a small train, too. She carried a handled tailored matching bag in ivory silk.
Ever the Fashionista, Chloe Sevigny wore an 80s inspired Lanvin dress in fuschia, strapless with a fitted corset bodice and full to-the-knee skirt. She wore high-heeled black silk mules, closed rounded toe, with a thick strap at the arch. Around neck she wore a pendant held on a thick black silk satin ribbon. (Obviously the whole 80s flouncy tiered skirt thing is back, big time. Cynthia Rowley was wearing a similarly styled black dress – hers was long-sleeved).
Angela Lindvall wore a fairly indescribable white ensemble by the luckiest designer in the UNIVERSE, Stella McCartney (can you say Emperor's New Clothes?). The inexplicable dress featured a couple of flowy tiers, cut-outs on the side, wise elastic straps under the bra portion of the top and a huge totally 80s cropped shoulder-padded jacket. Go figure.
Kate Hudson wore a chocolate colored pantsuit by McCartney and she made it look fine (not fantastic, but fine). The jacket was also 80s-styled, but in a conservative way – long-lined, single buttoned, two front flapped pockets. Long pants, fitted in the thigh with a bell at the bottom.
Gretchen (now people won’t get her confused with Charlize Theron) Mol chose a form fitting, challenging-to-wear bias cut Zac Posen dress, with navy silk chiffon bodice and capped sleeves and “tail” (from the knees down it had a full navy silk chiffon bottom, complete with train). The main portion of the figure revealing dress was thin silver-blue silk satin. She had both a matching silk chiffon scarf and a pouffy white fur stole to keep her “warm.”
Nearly unrecognizable covered up, Lil’ Kim wore a long-sleeved high crew-necked red Marc Jacobs dress with a thick burgundy velvet ribbon belt and rounded matching red pumps. Absolutely channeling the 40s, she even had her hair done in a right ‘do, with curled under bangs.
