And the Designer Of The Year Goes To...

Francisco Costa of Calvin Klein for Womenswear Designer.

Tom Ford for Menswear.

Tory Burch for Accessory Design.

Yet another glamorous NYC event went down last night. The New York Public Library held the annual CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Awards, (basically the Oscars of fashion) and well, as you can see the fashionistas were out. From MJ and Posh, classic icon Ralph Lauren and designer Michael Kors, to AFO and Hilary Duff, there really never is a dull moment in the Big Apple.

I thought that this pic was kinda funny, look how much taller model Karolina Kurkova is compared to Ashley Olsen! She may be on the shorter side, but what an impact she makes! More power to us! (obvs. I'm a bit on the short side as well)

Jason Lewis is popping up everywhere these days, but believe me, I don't mind!

Hilary's surprise bday present

Hilary Duff's expectations were low when her hockey player boyfriend, Mike Comrie, called recently to say he'd picked out an early 20th birthday present for her and that "I hope you like them." "Okay, it's shoes or something," Duff recalled thinking as she went to her sister's house, where Comrie said he'd left the present in the garage. "I opened the garage, and I was just like shocked, just standing there." Before her, with a big red bow on top, was a Mercedes-Benz G-class SUV (retails price: more than $100,000). Duff, whose birthday is next week, explained that she had unwittingly put the idea for a new car in his head. "I was planning on getting a big car and I drive a big car anyway, and I was just like, 'You know maybe I like the G-Wagen,' and then I was like, 'No, maybe I like the [Porsche] Cayenne,'" said Duff. "I've driven it tons. When I called him I was like, 'You're crazy! It's perfect!'"

Commotion at Hilary's Toronto appearance

Police were on the scene of Hilary Duff's appearance at MuchMusic yesterday in Toronto after a man in the crowd allegedly threatened to kill the popstar. During Duff's interview, an unidentified man started shouting in the crowd outside the studio and, according to a witness, threatened Duff's life. "The cops slammed his face into the pavement," said a photographer. "He was bleeding." A rep for the TV station said today that police told him the incident "was totally unrelated" to Duff and her appearance on Much and that although the man was shouting, he did not actually threaten the Dignity singer and no arrest was made.

Hilary meets her ex on TRL

Former couple Hilary Duff and Joel Madden had their first public run-in yesterdayday since their split last year. "I just did TRL today and Joel was there, and it was the first time we'd seen each other and it was so, like, nerve-racking," Duff said last night at the GLAAD Media Awards. "I knew that he was going to be there and he knew. It is what it is... I mean, what am I going to do? It's life. It was a little strange at first, but I wish nothing but good for him and I know that he wishes the same for me. I'm happy and he's happy and I think that's all that counts."
