We’re not even talking about accidental nip-slips here; with fervent #freethenipple-supporting Rihanna around, the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Awards red carpet on May 2, 2014, was anything but a snoozefest. And flaunt it all she very nearly did, with her sparkly sheer Adam Selman dress.
And that’s not even all of it. Lupita Nyong’o brought her style game to the fore with her graphic Suno suit, while the usually very edgy Solange Knowles seems to be doing a Beyoncé-style red carpet look.
So let’s discuss: Which is your showstopping favourite? Type away and tell us all about it in the comment box below.

OMG CFDA red carpet looks that you absolutely have to see
Blake Lively

What happened to that Hollywood diva at the Met Ball? The Gossip Girl star may be half of a golden celeb couple with Ryan Reynolds but there’s no need to epitomise that Stepford Housewives-esque spirit. With bouncy curls, hoop earrings, baby pink heels and a sequined floral dress, Blake Lively has never looked as much as a suburbia blonde barbie ‘til this moment, in this mod get-up.

Remember a certain sensational Jazz Age dancer, named Josephine Baker? The R&B queen may just be channeling that Baker’s showgirl-style and spirit, when she chose to be covered in just Swarovski crystals, a strategically-placed fur stole and a nude thong for her CFDA appearance. Photos of her totally NSFW photo may soon be deleted off Instagram but it’s hard to escape their epic reach online; if anything, the R&B queen sure has her point made about #freethenipple cause.

Coco Rocha

Not many would be able to pull off this high fashion look. But the usually redhead model looks like she may just snap into two at any moment, in this totally monochrome look. When you add the sideways headwear to the look, it sure looks like Rocha may just topple over at any moment now, maybe a little too much like that leaning tower in Pisa.

Lupita Nyongo

Love it or hate it, Hollywood darling Lupita Nyong’o has got to be wearing one of the most divisive looks at the CFDA. Our editor celebrates how she’s far from playing it safe with her graphic Suno look, while usual Lupita fans among the team still feel more on-the-fence about the cropped look.

Solange Knowles

We sure feel like we’re seeing double: It looks like Solange Knowles is totally pulling a Beyoncé, with the big hair and gold body-hugging gown combination that her sister is so known for. Add to the fact that the Jay Z Met Gala row happened just weeks ago, can we see this as a happy sign that all is well again, with these two fabulously famous sisters?

Marion Cotillard

As elegant as a swan as she may be, we feel there’s no reason for the Oscar-winning actress to sprout “wings” at this awards ‘do. What she has got right are that perfect coif, lippie and stunning Chopard jewellery that we’ll almost overlook the dress; well, almost.
