Stars in the front row have all the fun.

RACHEL ZOE at the Marc Jacobs show

Love her dress, which feels like 1920s meets 2010s in a great way. She accessorized it beautifully, with the shrug and tights and pumps.

NINA GARCIA at the Victoria Beckham show

WORK it in that spectacular coat, Nina Garcia! With every passing fashion show, Nina Garcia becomes my hero over and over again. This woman is endlessly fierce.

NINA GARCIA at the 3.1 Phillip Lim show

Okay, so the jacket with the boots is a little costumey, but I sort of love this Nina Garcia as an equestrian thing, so I’m into it.

DAKOTA FANNING at the Rodarte show

This is simulatenously hideous and also one of my favorite things that’s been worn to fashion week so far. I think the colors on the blouse are perfect for Dakota, but this Judy Jetson shape and wrinkled satin are ruining everything. And the pants are awful, in color, shape, and length. But the shoes are lovely, so we’re back to square one. It’s bright and interesting and it’s something I haven’t seen yet this week, so I’ll allow it. But burn those pants in a fire, Dakota.

DAKOTA FANNING at the Marc Jacobs show // dress, purse and shoes by Marc Jacobs

Beautiful dress, but the shoes are for a different outfit and the purse is absolutely awful. Looks like a cosmetics case, not a clutch.

NATALIE PORTMAN at the Rodarte show

Boring, but that cardigan is totally awesome.

ROSE BYRNE at the Marc Jacobs show // coat and purse by Marc Jacobs

I’m sorry to say it, dear readers, but doesn’t Rose Byrne always look constipated? What is up with that? The shape of that coat doesn’t work for her, though I do love the shoes, but I can’t pay attention to that because she always looks like she’s got a stiletto up her ass.

MARIA SHARAPOVA at the Marc Jacobs show // dress by Marc Jacobs

Pretty dress, but I think it belongs on a teenager. And the purse is all wrong.

KRYSTEN RITTER at the Alice + Olivia show

Love the dress, am on board with the shoes, hate the belt.

MEGAN HILTY at the Rachel Roy show

Are you watching Smash? Do it just so you can be as obsessed with Megan Hilty as I am. I don’t think this is the best silhouette for her, but the color is awesome and leather dresses are huge right now. The shoes are not my favorite, but they’re not black or nude peep-toe pumps, so, YAY!

JOHNNY WEIR at the Chris Benz show

You just have to love Johnny Weir. And that blazer. That blazer is DELICIOUS.

JOHNNY WEIR at the Alice + Olivia show

Gold lamé jackets with leopard-print lapels? Sign me up, bitches!

BRAD GORESKI at the Michael Bastian show

Not to be out-gayed by an ice skater, America’s sweetheart Brad Goreski donned yet another amazing coat and the fabbest, pinkest pants in the whole wide world. And I love it.

DITA VON TEESE at the Jenny Packham show // dress by Jenny Packham

She looks perfect, but there’s no denying that is is disappointingly boring, coming from Dita. Can we take a moment to compliment the gold patterned leggings of the girl sitting next to Dita? Get it, girl!

EMMY ROSSUM at the Donna Karan show

So beautiful that I don’t even mind how simple it is. Sometimes low-key is okay if it comes out looking this mega-beautiful.

ASHLEY GREENE at the Donna Karan show // shoes by Christian Louboutin

Still gorgeous, but come on! I know Donna Karan is all about the LBD, but when you’re the face of her label and you’re at her fashion show, you need something a little more head-turning than this.

ROSE MCGOWAN at the Donna Karan show

Those are some stripper shoes if I’ve ever seen them.

KRISTIN CHENOWETH at the Alice + Olivia show

I love me some Cheno, but she’s a bit old for such a babydoll look, isn’t she?

LEIGHTON MEESTER at the Vera Wang show // dress by Vera Wang, shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti

The dress doesn’t bother me, but I can’t remember the last time I hated a pair of shoes and a shade of lipstick quite this much.

RENEE ZELLWEGER at the Carolina Herrera show // top and skirt by Carolina Herrera

Oh, Renee, honey. This is a full-on disaster. The shoes are lovely and the skirt is fine, but all of this together, paired with that sad, sad hair – it’s just depressing. New York Fashion Week deserves better than this hot mess.
