An event such as the Council of Fashion Designers of America definitely calls for celebs and fashion industry heavyweights to dress to impress.  And given that it’s an event that honours (what else) fashion, it was the perfect place to spy trends for the upcoming season.

 

Here are our favourite looks from the event:

 

Colour Blocking/Bright Colours.  The biggest trend on the red carpet was undoubtedly punchy, bright colours and colour blocking.  This is nothing new, but the CDMA awards reinforced just how much colour is back in a big way, and is showing no sign of going anywhere.

Bold Patterns.  An extension of the colour blocking trend, bold patterns in bright shades will also be a hit for summer.

Black.  Not actually a 'trend' as such, but no list would be complete without Fashion Icon Award recipient Gaga!  And Miranda deserves a mention for looking absolutely stunning in her black cut-out dress - less than six months after giving birth!
