Because the CFDA Fashion Awards is a premier fashion event, we anticipated standout looks on the red carpet, and many celebrities delivered. However, some opted for a more understated approach.
One of those who played it safe was America Ferrera, who chose a classic black Kate Spade dress for her appearance.

The 32-year-old chose this embellished Kate Spade floor-length creation for the event.

While undoubtedly a timeless wardrobe piece, this dress, unfortunately, failed to make a significant impact on the red carpet, especially given the high-fashion expectations of the event.

We think America looked sophisticated, especially with the accessories she chose to give the long black dress a more glamorous panache.
We can’t find the dress anywhere online, but here are a few alternatives:
1. Elena Makri Thiro Dress, $474.00
2. Marchesa Notte Embellished Neck Gown, $1,095.00
3. Badgley Mischka Beaded Waist Gown, $2,190.00
4. Fendi Long Belted Dress, $2,117.50
5. Vera Wang Bib Neck Apron Gown, $1,695.00
What do you think of this look from America Ferrera? Does it earn a yay or a nay from you?
