A little blizzard can’t keep the stars from New York Fashion Week, dear readers!

KATHARINE MCPHEE at the amfAR New York gala
dress by Theyskens’ Theory

Fashion Week kicked off with the amfAR New York gala. And in case you were looking for a perfect little white dress (and who isn’t?), here’s your dictionary definition of one. I love the vintage silhouette that the high, small waist and wider shoulders create, I love the sleeves, and I think the black nails and sexy sandals were perfect styling choices.

ALEXA CHUNG at the Marni fragrance launch
coat, blouse, pants, and shoes by Marni

Fan-fucking-TASTIC coat. The charcoal gray and camel brown colors are brilliant together, and the coat is perfect with her printed blouse and super-skinny jeans. The shoes are absurd, but isn’t that what fashion week is all about?

ALEXA CHUNG at the amfAR New York gala
dress, purse, and shoes by Chanel

It’s a little on the obnoxious hipster side, but you can’t expect anything else from Alexa Chung. I don’t think a long-strapped purse was the best choice, and the fit of this is kind of sadly sack-like. But the dress itself is cute and the shoes are fun.

HEIDI KLUM at the amfAR New York gala
gown by Michael Kors, purse and shoes by Christian Louboutin

As expected, the Klum rocked a mega-plunging neckline. Her necklace is crazy gorgeous, but not so much with this slightly ill-fitting and altogether predictable gown.

HEIDI KLUM at the Kenneth Cole show
vest by Thomas Wylde, skirt by Kooples, pants by Current/Elliot, shoes by Christian Louboutin

That vest is just silly, but she pulls it off.

NINA GARCIA and HEIDI KLUM at the Project Runway show

Nina – killing it, but I’m surprised she didn’t chose a more interesting shoe. Heidi, predictably, looks like a sad clown who became a librarian.

ELIZABETH OLSEN and RASHIDA JONES at the Prabal Gurung for Target launch
Elizabeth’s dress and Rashida’s blouse by Prabal Gurung for Target, Rashida’s shoes by Alexander Wang

Elizabeth’s colorblocked dress is adorable, and even Rashida’s silly blue ruffled top is a fun piece.

RASHIDA JONES at the Dannijo show

The proportion of the jacket and the length of the skirt are a little odd, but at least she piled on the jewelry to counterbalance all that black.

CAREY MULLIGAN at the Prabal Gurung for Target launch
jacket and blouse by The Row, purse by Prabal Gurung for Target

Carey Mulligan, the red carpet misses your little squeezable pixie face and your preppy-mod style. Also, I want to steal your coat.

ISABELLE FUHRMAN at the Prabal Gurung for Target launch
dress by Prabal Gurung for Target, shoes by Versus

Isabelle’s sixteenth birthday is coming up, so she’s only got a few weeks left in which she can pose like this and get away with it. Live it up while you can, darling! Love your shoes!

SAMI GAYLE at the BCBG Max Azria show

She is working the hell out of the fabulous hair, the adorable little dress, and those strappy sandals. Sami’s a former Broadway star (I saw her play Baby June in Gypsy), so I like to keep tabs on her general cuteness.

KRYSTA RODRIGUEZ at the BCBG Max Azria show

Speaking of Broadway, I’ve seen Krysta here in Spring Awakening and In the Heights, but apparently she’s now on Smash this season, so go on and get it, darling! Your shoes are boring, but the dress is sharp and your hair is almost adorable.

CHRISTINA RICCI at the Marni fragrance launch
top and skirt by Marni

Cute, but she looks more like she’s at an office Christmas party than a fashion week event.

MAGGIE GRACE, CHRISTINA RICCI, and ASHLEE SIMPSON at the Richard Chai Love show

Seriously? Everyone in the front row is wearing black leggings and black pumps? What is the point in even going to fashion week if you’re going to dress like it’s any other day?

ASHLEY GREENE at the amfAR New York gala
gown by Giambattista Valli

Pretty, but yawn.

ANNA WINTOUR at the Kimberly Ovitz show

She’s really starting to look like a cartoon version of herself.

KRISTIN CHENOWETH at the Project Runway show
dress by Robert Rodriguez, shoes by Christian Louboutin

Adorable dress; hate the shoes.

LINDSAY LOHAN at the amfAR New York gala
gown by Theia

The sad thing is, this dress isn’t even that terrible, if it fit her and if she were wearing any semblance of a bra and those shoes were burned in a fire and her face didn’t look like it had been smoking a pack of Marlboro Reds a day for the last sixty years.

CHLOË SEVIGNY at the amfAR New York gala
dress and shoes by Proenza Schouler

It could almost look like a real outfit, if it came anywhere close to fitting her. Also, the hair and makeup are positively ridiculous.

SARAH JESSICA PARKER at the amfAR New York gala
gown by Maison Martin Margiela, shoes by Gianvito Rossi

I don’t even know what to call this, dear readers, but let’s hope we don’t need to name it because it NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN.
