Rihanna and her barely-there dress has gathered all the attention, seeming that no one at the CFDA Awards night could take off their eyes away from Rihanna, who wore a translucent dress featuring sheer Swarovski crystals to accept her Fashion Icon award at Awards function. However, there were other fashion figures present at the function, who found it worth noting at this oh-so-central fashion display. The attire that Rihanna wore at the awards function was made of fishnet and was studded with Swarovski crystals were quite the scene-stealers at the night of the CFDA Awards in New York City, where the ever-audacious Fashionista took home the Fashion Icon Award.
It is said that fashion rules are made to be broken and Rihanna proved that while dictating this statement to the glittering crowd of fashion industry at the Awards function. Her outfit spectacularly conveyed a message: a sheer fishnet gown, gleaming with thousands of studded crystals, that left little beneath to the mind's eye.
The singer cemented her personality as a fashion celebrity by receiving the 2014 Fashion Icon Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. She was presented her trophy from presented by Anna Wintour, the powerful Vogue editor, who kept a statement about Rihanna that, "the point is to be audacious — even jaw-dropping or button-pushing."
Accepting the award, Rihanna conversed about her origins in Barbados, where "I didn't have a lot of access to fashion." Further, she stated, "Fashion has always been my defense mechanism." She told to the crowd that even as a child, she used to think: "She can beat me, but she can't beat my outfit." "I can compensate for all my weaknesses with my fashion," she said, adding: "There are rules, but rules are meant to be broken."
The celebrity, honored at the annual CFDA ceremony at Lincoln Center was crowded by a number of top designers. Joseph Altuzarra won the womenswear award, and the menswear prize went to Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne, the duo behind the Public School label. Sisters Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen of The Row won the accessories award.
The international award went to Raf Simons of Dior, and the CFDA lifetime achievement award went to designer Tom Ford, who quipped that he hoped it didn't spell the end of his career.
The annual CFDA show, hosted this year by director and screenwriter John Waters, drawn a mix of fashion insiders and Hollywood. This year, among the biggest names was Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o, presented the Womenswear award to Altuzarra.
Other Hollywood stars in attendance integrated at the function were Blake Lively, who wore a short Michael Kors dress and Emmy Rossum, wore a green chiffon J. Mendel gown. Greta Gerwig was seen in a bright orange Zac Posen gown.
Nevertheless, none made as big a splash as Rihanna with her translucent outfit, which was designed by Adam Selman. The gown was escorted by complementing elbow-length gloves and a dazzling headscarf.
Speaking about Rihanna prior to the show, designer Posen called the pop star a fashion risk-taker who dexterously healed the red carpet glamour with a seditious streak and states to The Associated Press that "She takes risks and she marches to her own drum and she knows what she likes". Posen added,"That's why people love to dress her".
There were other popular designers who were singing the praises of this celebrated singer, Rihanna like Alexander Wang, a nominee for both the Womenswear and accessories awards and he said "I love my girl RiRi. She's fearless. She has guts. Even in sweatpants, she owns it!"
