Last night the fashion cognoscenti descended upon Lincoln Center for the annual CFDA Awards, which are basically the Oscars for fashion designers. Everyone from Anna Wintour and Lady Gaga to Anderson Cooper (who hosted) and Marc Jacobs (who was awarded the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award) were in attendance, with all the bells and whistles you would expect. Upon accepting her Fashion Icon award, Lady Gaga -- sporting a green bob, bustier dress and 12-inch platform shoes, of course -- wooed the audience by quipping, "I can't believe I'm allowed in here!" Cathy Horyn also noted an amusing exchange between the pop star and Vogue editor Anna Wintour:
[Lady Gaga] then revealed that when it was announced that the CFDA would honor her, Wintour sent her a congratulatory text message. Lady Gaga said she thought the text came from a friend of hers also named Anna, and so replied, "Yes, bitch, we did it!"
Gaga waited for the laughter to die down and added, "I got a reply that said, 'How lovely.'"
Hold on -- Anna Wintour texting? Now we've heard it all. Below are the nominees for this year's awards with the winners in bold.
