(Photo by James Devaney/WireImage)\nPHOTO: WireImage\nThe sound of Lady Gaga arriving is approximately the same decibel level as a herd of elephants. I was clear on the other side of Alice Tully Hall when the evening&amp;#39;s VIP-est honoree arrived, but I would have had to be in Guam to have missed her entrance. The sidewalk was jammed with teenage girls and camera-wielding tourists, and they let out a collective scream that practically shattered the glass of her limo when she stepped out (wearing custom Thierry Mugler and a bright turquoise wig!). Another Gaga highlight? She told the audience that Anna Wintour texted her to notify and congratulate her about her Fashion Icon award, and she texted back, &amp;quot;We did it bitch!&amp;quot;, thinking it was another Anna!\n\n\nKanye West doesn&amp;#39;t do interviews. Surely this is a recent development, because in the past, he&amp;#39;s not only mugged for my camera, but he&amp;#39;s let me sidle right up to him post-show and pick his brain about clothes. Maybe he was trying to avoid questions about his rumored clothing line, or maybe he&amp;#39;d just had some dental work done--one side of his jaw was totally swollen and he was talking kinda funny--but when I asked if we could chat for a minute, he told me, &amp;quot;I don&amp;#39;t do interviews. But you can take my picture.&amp;quot; Thanks, buddy.\n\nPinterestFacebookNEW YORK, NY - JUNE 06: Jessica Alba attends the 2011 CFDA Fashion Awards at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center on June 6, 2011 in New York City.

It turns out life is pretty good post-Rachel Zoe: Her onetime assistant is in the middle of filming his own reality show on Bravo and recently scored a new A-list client. &amp;quot;She&amp;#39;s wearing custom Diane Von Furstenberg,&amp;quot; he told me. &amp;quot;I got her ready at her hotel, then just threw on this suit and ran here!&amp;quot;\n\n\nAnderson Cooper was a child model. Yes gals, the evening&amp;#39;s host--wearing Ralph Lauren--was camera-ready long before he was a silver fox. He shared a photo of his pre-teen modeling days with the audience, when he was signed with Ford at age 11!\n\nPinterestFacebookNEW YORK, NY - JUNE 06: Designer Chris Benz attends the 2011 CFDA Fashion Awards at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center on June 6, 2011 in New York City.

I had to ask what, exactly, he&amp;#39;s been using. &amp;quot;Manic Panic, and the shade is called &amp;#39;Cotton Candy Pink&amp;#39;,&amp;quot; he told me.\n\nThere you have it, ladies...an evening of glamour, gorgeous people, and a proper celebration for fashion&amp;#39;s most deserving names.
