The big news at the chic CFDA gala awards last night was that Ralph Lauren was the “people’s choice.” A smiling Ralph stepped into the gala with his wife Ricky – who always looks like she just stepped out of a Polo ad 
- posed for pictures and I believe, must have known he had won the most anticipated award of this night. I, of course, using my usual mental telepathy, was wearing Ralph Lauren ( a black tuxedo jumpsuit). It’s the first time I ever wore Ralph head-to- toe or to an event.
I loved the look and felt really chic and extra. Though no one took my picture, I posed for my friends in fashion and cheerily announced what I was wearing (when they asked).
Speaking of chic, it would be cool to start using Ricky in ads. She has great appeal to the boomer generation and to that Oprah/Instyle demographic. This was the first time the CFDA had invited the public to vote on their favorite designer.
Justin Timberlake made a surprise appearance (the audience loved it) to present an award for fashion journalism to Jim Moore of GQ, who it should be noted is always a gentleman.
Other winners and stars of stage, screen and fashion that attended – in my next blog.
