OMG, OMG, OMG...and I never use that acronym. But I have no other words to describe last night's Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards. 

Fashionistas, models, celebrities, reality stars, socialites and of course designers galore. The CFDA's is probably my favorite night in fashion, it's not as costumey (pun intended) as the MET Ball and much cooler than the Oscars, and of course we are all about the cool kids. 

Take a look at the complete list of last night's winners below - including Alexander Wang whose Gap CFDA collection hits stores today (already ordered the whole thing online!)...and after the jump see who wore what last night!

Womenswear Designer of the Year - Rodarte's Laura and Kate Mulleavy

Menswear Designer of the Year - A tie between Calvin Klein's Italo Zucchelli and Band of Outsiders' Scott Sternberg

Blame it on Time Warner, or the rain...but I had little to no internet access last week. 

Making up for lost time is nearly impossible in these conditions, but I'm willing to give it a try...

Let's see how last week finished up before voting?...

What a day for America, and what an even bigger day for Jason Wu!!!

So exciting and telling that Michelle Obama chose young Wu for her Inaugural Ball(s) dress. 

The dress is positively stunning and an amazing fit on our statuesque first lady. Dare I say she looks a little like Lady Liberty? In a good way of course.

Of course the whole country (and a good amount of the world) was on the edge of their seat Tuesday night, awaiting our President Elect's acceptance speech. 

The first thought in all of our minds was of course of the unbelievable history changing moment we were watching.

And for some of us, the next thought was "but what will Michelle be wearing!?"

First Lady to be Michelle Obama has wowed the fashion set with her smart, sophisticated and dare I say trendy picks for the campaign trail. 

Always in fashion but never stuffy, she chose designers like Thakoon and all American labels like J.Crew for many appearances. 

So what would Michelle wear as her very first "first lady" outfit??? 

She chose a red and black Narciso Rodriguez dress - mostly black with a red splattered front. 

Now I can't say I loved it...I found it a bit too fashion forward for such a momentous occasion, after all she is the wife of the future President, not Carrie Bradshaw. She did look beautiful, glowing and all the things we expected from her - I dont hate the dress per say, but from someone with such a great fashion track record so far, I would have preferred to see something a bit more simple.  

In any case - it's fantastic to have such a fashionable woman on her way to the White House!!!! 

No wonder Vogue is desperate to have Michelle as a cover girl...
