Last Monday evening at the CFDA Awards, Rihanna appeared on the red carpet in a translucent, crystallized floor-length gown and the interweb exploded. Clearly there is a reason she won the Fashion Icon Of The Year award -- who else could possibly pull this off?
Of course Rihanna wasn't the only highlight of the night. Mary-Kate and Ashely showed up cloaked in black, Bethann Hardison was honored and just about every big model and editor hit the red carpet. But it's not a fashion event unless someone tweets about it. To relive the night, we've rounded up funny quotes, comments and photos that you may have missed. Enjoy!
"Anna Wintour makes the rules and I break them." -Rihanna #CFDAawards
