Flawless skin, and huge doe eyes,18 year old Melodie Monrose is from the beautiful island of Martinique and  has only one season under her belt. Spring 2011 was her induction into the runway world, where her very first show was day 1 of NYFW at Vena Cava. After that it was onwards and upwards with shows like Marc Jacobs, DKNY, Rag and Bone, and Jason Wu. In Milan Monrose booked some of the top shows of the week: Prada, Gucci, Missoni, and Bottega Veneta. Then off to Paris where she walked for YSL and Valentino. A pretty amazing first season! I’m sure we’ll be seeing even more of Melodie Monrose come February for Fall Winter 2011.

Last night in New York the much anticipated CFDA’s (Council of Fashion Designers of America) took place. Among those in attendance were models, designers, editors, stylists, and celebrities-a who’s who of the fashion industry. The evening showcased AW 10 collections of some of the nominees like Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang. But the highlight of the evening had to have been the Special Tribute Award to Alexander McQueen. Sarah Jessica Parker, who looked stunning in McQueen, gave a speech about her late friend and a mini runway show of his last collection was seen. Other awards went to Marc Jacobs for Women’s Wear Designer of the Year, Fashion Icon Award to Iman, Swarovski Accessories Designer of the Year to Alexander Wang (of course!) Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award to Michael Kors (who’s date was Gwyneth Paltrow). For a complete list of winners click here.

Awards season continued on this weekend with the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Here are some of our best dressed girls of the evening: Diane Kruger looked stunning in gold floor length Jason Wu.  The red lip and subtle eye shadow was exactly the right combination. Lea Michele in emerald green Malandrino went for a matte nude lip with soft smoky eyes.  Drew Barrymore wearing Monique Lhuillier, looked retro with her bouffant blonde up do and pale glossy lips. Marion Cotillard-always the picture of Parisian sophistication wearing Elie Saab Couture, slicked hair and smoky eyes.
