The CFDA Awards celebrate fashion and style and the 2014 Fashion Icon of the Year did not disappoint with her sparkling, mesh ensemble. Rihanna has parted the fashion crowds with opinions around her almost-naked dress last week, between style innovation risk taking and tacky, too much outfit. Either way, she caught everyone’s attention and is all people are talking about.

In a slinky mesh, diamonds and gloved Adam Selman dress, Rihanna seemed confident and at-home in her own body, covering up every now and then with a fur stole. Though some are shocked by her latest outfit, it seems to be forgotten that she wore a mesh shirt at the Balmain after-party during Paris Fashion Week.
“You will never be stylish if you don’t take risks.”
– Rihanna
Alessandra Ambrosio looked perfectly demure in a strapless, red Nonoo number while Anne V vamped it up in a two piece Jonathan Simkhai outfit. Blake Lively went for a slightly retro look in a scallop-hemmed Michael Kors dress and Rachel Zoe shimmered in one of her own designs. Naomi Campbell and Solange Knowles both wore plunging, sparkly gowns and Joan Smalls wore an intricate, cut-out Prabal Gurung dress with a thigh-high split.
