Not-So-Basic Black Rules<br />
at CFDA Fashion Awards<br />
<br />
The hair feels<br />
too prom-like<br />
and youthful.<br />
<br />
The print is<br />
making us<br />
dizzy, and<br />
the sheer<br />
waist panel is<br />
distracting.<br />
<br />
Our<br />
wooziness<br />
is enhanced<br />
by the<br />
confusing trio<br />
of spaghetti<br />
straps.<br />
<br />
The retro<br />
hairstyle<br />
highlights<br />
her timeless<br />
beauty.<br />
<br />
The black<br />
eyeliner is a<br />
bit overdone.<br />
<br />
The print is<br />
sophisticated.<br />
The cut of<br />
the dress<br />
is pretty<br />
— if generic<br />
— and<br />
showcases<br />
her beautiful<br />
shoulders and<br />
neck.<br />
<br />
The hair is<br />
the perfect<br />
accompaniment<br />
to her<br />
singular style.<br />
<br />
This is one of<br />
her many collaborations<br />
with Haider<br />
Ackerman,<br />
which always<br />
have a quiet,<br />
modern<br />
eccentricity.<br />
It suits her<br />
perfectly.<br />
<br />
It’s meant to<br />
make a statement,<br />
but<br />
the clashing<br />
lipstick<br />
is a tad<br />
aggressive.<br />
<br />
Her shiny<br />
locks look<br />
great in this<br />
sleek haircut,<br />
and her tan is<br />
perfect.<br />
<br />
The dress is<br />
shapeless and<br />
a bit matronly<br />
for the young<br />
actress.<br />
<br />
The polished<br />
geode<br />
embellishment<br />
is<br />
unique — if<br />
a bit strange<br />
— and<br />
adds visual<br />
interest.<br />

A metallic<br />
tuxedo could<br />
have gone<br />
horribly<br />
wrong. But<br />
on him, it’s<br />
elegant.<br />
<br />
It's beautifully<br />
tailored,<br />
with perfect<br />
slivers of<br />
pocket<br />
square and<br />
cuff and a<br />
precise pant<br />
break.<br />
<br />
The clean<br />
shave and<br />
sleek hair add<br />
to the old-<br />
Hollywood<br />
vibe.<br />

The<br />
pompadour<br />
adds height<br />
and works<br />
well with<br />
his chiseled<br />
features —<br />
a win-win.<br />
<br />
The cut of the<br />
blazer suits<br />
his body type,<br />
and the droppeak<br />
label<br />
adds subtle<br />
style.<br />
<br />
The green<br />
shirt and<br />
horizontalstripe<br />
tie<br />
push things<br />
into lawyer<br />
territory.<br />

Fashion<br />
should be fun.<br />
This 22-yearold<br />
doesn’t<br />
take himself<br />
too seriously.<br />
<br />
This Thom<br />
Browne look<br />
is not easy<br />
to pull off. It<br />
wouldn’t work<br />
for everyday,<br />
but this is a<br />
fashion event.<br />
He owns it.<br />
<br />
The clunky<br />
shoes and<br />
thin socks<br />
drive home<br />
the fearless<br />
sartorial<br />
message.<br />

This samurai<br />
evening look<br />
is a riot.<br />
Intentionally?<br />
It’s all a bit<br />
affected.<br />
<br />
The 6’4”<br />
athlete looks<br />
like he has<br />
outgrown<br />
his cropped<br />
pants.<br />
<br />
The coat<br />
elongates<br />
him further. A<br />
shorter jacket<br />
— preferably<br />
doublebreasted<br />
—<br />
would help<br />
balance out<br />
the situation.<br />
