Jenna Lyons at the CFDA Awards' Red Carpet

"Thanks!" to Fabulous Florida Mommy (in this post), as well as Christina (in this post) who shared the following links as well as let us know about Jenna Lyons appearance at the CFDA Awards' Red Carpet.

To see more images of all the attendees:
Jenna is a very beautiful woman. She is also very good at styling pieces. With that said, this look is a "fashion no, no!" for me. The top makes her appear bulky. The lime green skirt is a beautiful color and uses an interesting fabric, but all wrong paired with the top and shoes. This is just me though.

What are your thoughts on Jenna Lyon's outfit at the Awards? How would you style those pieces together?

  1. ITA agree with your comments re: her styling. I absolutely LOVE that skirt and it is so flattering but the top and shoes kind of ruin it.

  2. Her top looks very medical to me. I don't like it at all and I wonder why she chose it. I also think that the skirt and shoes (and top) don't go well together. I like mismatched outfits but this seems to be going a bit too far.

  3. The skirt is very pretty in that bright green and the top is OK, kind of summery. But there is something not quite right with the shoes, the thick black strap breaks up the line IMO. Each time I see this photo my eye is drawn to the shoes. Maybe that is the intent though, wouldn't be the first time first time a woman wanted to showcase her shoes.

    I see Iris Apfel in the background. Can't miss her with her signature frames and bright yellow tunic. She has been known to wear a similar bright green, as seen here. Hmm, Jenna with her large frames and now this green color - emulating Iris? JK of course, Jenna has her own style.

  4. If you cannot say anything nice, don't say anything at all. So I better not say anything...if I got started I don't think my fingers could stop....typing that is....

  6. i love the skirt (the color and length. i'm not nuts for sequins, but i'll make an exception here). would have preferred if the shirt were tighter around her waist/torso, and had blousy/dolman sleeves, instead of just being shapeless.

  7. Love the skirt! But agree with others, not with the other pieces. This one is a miss.

  8. i think the shoes are pretty, but she should have gone with a sleeker, more minimalistic pair so as to not distract attention from the neon skirt. and yeah, the boxy top and hairstyle look too casual to me.

  9. Jenna just looks awkward and uncomfortable in this shot. Don't really care for the outfit on her. At least it is not "taken from the boys."

  10. I think she looks really cool! I like it on HER--she can wear this! Luve the shoes!

  11. I think she looks chic and while I wouldn't wear that top it is very "now". Those shoes are amazing in person--Isabel Marant--wonderful textures. Love her mix of the bright green, red accents and the raffia shoes.

  12. this is good--from the bolgosphere:

    blogger called hongkongfashiongeek says:

    "Not entirely sure who Jenna Lyons is but she's wearing J.Crew and she looks so Marni-meets-Marc Jacobs that you have to give her kudos."

  13. I hated at first, but the more I look at this picture, the more I like it. If she could hold her back straight, the shirt would look better...

  14. Those shoes seem to cut her legs off. I guess when you are as tall as she is, you can afford to do that.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'd like the shoes in a different color: lemon or grey, perhaps.

  16. MY sister seriously has a shirt like that from the 80's sitting at my mother's house. Very retro. (And not flattering at all!) Guess I couldn't keep my fingers from typing after all!

  17. I just realized, Jenna is wearing a below-the-knee skirt and yet 99% of the skirts from J Crew are well above the knee. What's up with that??

    ReplyDelete
  18. I think that if Jenna would stand up straight that her shirt would look a little better.

  19. Skirt's wonderful. Not so much with the blouse, I would have done a more tailored blouse with it.
    Shoes should be nude sandals, such as a Jimmy Choo or Manolo Blahnik.

  20. oh MY. that is not a flattering look for her. i applaud fashion risks, but color me shallow -- i like things to look pretty, too.

    she has hot legs and could pull off a kelly green sequined mini! snip that skirt and change up the sleeves on that blouse and it could be a hot look.

  21. When I look at the entire series of pictures, which is very interesting, I actually like Jenna's outfit the most. It's fashion forward without being costume-y. It's colorful so appropriate for late Spring. The colors work for daytime and the sparkle works for evening. It doesn't look slutty or prom queen or so last decade like many of the other fashions. I like Kirsten Dunst's outfit a lot too, and Zuzanna Bijoch's dress. Sofia Coppola always looks so perfect. And I have to give a shout out to Grace Coddington who rocks utilitarian chic. :)

    On the down side, Marcia Cross looks like she's ready for her closeup in a 70's porno, Philip Lim's plus one looks like a car mechanic from the year 2050, and Chloe Sevigny looks downright hideous in her own design channeling a dominatrix doily, if such a thing exists.

  22. Looks like Jenna's typical "Man-repeller" fashion statement.

  23. Sorry, but I think the "man-repeller" comment, though probably meant to be funny, is misogynist. Should women dress to attract men? Married women? And exactly how far must she go? A body-skimming skirt, beautiful shoes, and a great pair of legs isn't far enough? Should she wear a see-through top and a push-up bra?
