Making an entrance: Gwyneth Paltrow wore a striking black shimmering, asymmetrical Michael Kors gown to the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City last night
There was a lot of competition, but Gwyneth Paltrow stole the show as she arrived for the star-studded CFDA Fashion Awards last night.
The actress was dressed in a sleek fitted glimmering black Michael Kors gown, which clung to her toned figure.
With her hair pulled back in a tight ponytail, her asymmetrical dress flattered her statuesque shape.
But the 37-year-old had plenty of challengers for the best-dressed crown at the Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center in New York City on Monday.
