FALL 2009 FASHION WEEK - Jill Stuart Front Row

Each year Fashion Week becomes more of a celebrity circus. Yesterday the elegant NY Public Library was the scene of the Jill Stuart show, and while the mostly black and white, tough-girl-meets-Stevie Nicks ensembles garnered a huge buzz, it would be impossible to deny that the starlets sitting front row center were just as much, if not more, of a draw.

Jill Stuart Front Row

    I saw several editors wobble a bit from the crush of the photographers (and yes, I was taking pictures too). But really? I think that Jessica Stroup from the new 90210 is lovely, but a budding actress should never steal the spotlight from the fab juxtaposition of 5-inch platform booties against billowing chiffon. It just isn't right. It's time for the clothes to take center stage again. With one exception: Bette Midler was there, and she's impossible to upstage.

    Seeing the likes of, from left to right, Kristin Bell, Michelle Trachtenberg, Jessica Stroup (from 90210) Paris and Nikki, Amanda Bynes, Gossip Girl Amanda Setton and Adrianne Palicki, who plays Tara in the woefully underappreciated Friday Night Lights in person is harmless fun. They are always teensy, with unfathomably shiny hair and flawless skin. And watching them react to the show can be hilarious. During a nip slip (these days there is at least one per show- you get used to it after a couple of times), Jessica giggled while the rest of the starlets remained blank-faced. It was nice to see some personality.

    The adorable actress was quite smiley throughout the show. She seemed, out of all of them, like the girl you'd most like have as a friend.

    So much of the focus of fashion shows these days are on the celebrities (or wannabes), perching in the front row.

    Here's something new: The photographer pen started to playfully yell at the attendees to sit down and let the show begin already! The celeb-worship was, as far as they were concerned, O-V-E-R.

    I couldn't help but notice that Paris and Nikki Hilton are seriously close sisters. They spoke to only each other and seemed to really enjoy it.

    The trend continues: Textured leg wear is huge, and Paris here rocks the look (and no, it's not a new tattoo, as some of the other press guessed). LINK?

    Adrianne Palicki from the hugely entertaining Friday Night Lights enjoyed the show, but needed to spit out her gum!
