Hot! Or Hmm…: Naomi Campbell’s 18th Annual ACE Awards Proenza Schouler Fall 2014 Sleeveless Dress + Kerry Washington’s Prada Check Dress

18th Annual Accessories Council ACE Awards
0 0 Naomi Campbell's 18th Annual ACE Awards Proenza Schouler Fall 2014 Sleeveless Dress

Last night, in the midst of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund awards — which we have the details for right here — there was another awards ceremony taking place. And with honorees that included Proenza Schouler as well as Kerry Washington and Scandal stylist Lynn Paulo, the 18th Annual Accessories Council ACE Awards certainly warranted a bit of attention. Amongst the arrivals, supermodel Naomi Campbell turned up in a Fall 2014 sleeveless halter neck Proenza Schouler dress from the brand’s Fall 2014 runway presentation.

The leggy icon cut the perfect silhouette in the sleeveless dress. Done with an asymmetrical hem and open back, it was a fun frock for the occasion. And if you’re wondering about the material: oh just hand embroidered silk georgette. You know, casual.
For those of you who plan on snapping it up for yourself — it’ll set you back a cool $13,500, so no biggie ,– you’ll be happy to know that it comes with an internal corset.

See the frock on runway:

She accessorized with a handful of rings and two wristfuls of skinny, glittering bangles. A simple pointy-toed black stiletto completed the look.

In my honest opinion, Naomi Campbell knocked it out of the park with this look. She showed off her legs and arms just right and juxtaposed that with a high neck which was tasteful. The open back was just a little extra umph for the look.

But what do you think? is Naomi still one of the chicest faces out there in the game or should she have returned to the drawing board for this one?

Even more bold, modern elements are witnessed by neon fanny packs and flat criss cross sandals; Maléombho brings the continent back to her design, however, via West Africa inspired brightly hued palm trees embedded on burlap separates.
