Stylish Event: Bravo 'A List' Awards

Bravo held it's first 'A List Award' last night. Giving recognitions of excellence in Food, Fashion, Design and Pop Culture. The show was fun and entertaining. Hosted by 'Miss d list' herself, Kathy Griffin made the show enjoyable and worthwhile. The highlight was a 'fashion for a cause' auction, with all proceeds donated to UNICEF's ongoing relief efforts in Myanmar.

A 'Project Runway' inspired challenge, paired designers from previous seasons with celebrity models. My personal favorites were Chris March's design made with human hair modeled by 'Make me a Supermodel' winner Holly Kiser. Sweet P.'s plaid cranberry dress with leather trim was edgy and chic a perfect fit for her celebrity model Kat Von D. Capping of my top 3 is a white pencil cut dress from designer-celeb duo Michael Knight and 'Dancing With the Stars' Karina Smirnoff.

Auction ends on June 19th. Your winning bid goes beyond the outfit, it will save lives! Kudos to Bravo, the designers and celebrities whom made this great cause happen.
