DESIGNER: Lisa Axelson for Ann Taylor

INSPIRATION: "See now, wear now," the chain's first fashion show, where you could literally run from the show to the store

TOP LOOKS: Citron and sandpebble sheaths -- one with the yellow in front, gray in back and the other, vice versa, cleverly

ACCESSORIES: Great strappy shoes with fur pom-poms, skinny, brightly colored belts and chunky crystal and pearl jewelry

WHO WAS THERE: Mena Suvari, Katharine McPhee, Gretchen Mol, Amanda Bynes, Vanessa Williams, Joy Bryant, Kelly Rutherford, Laila Ali, Jennifer Esposito, Kim Alexis and "Real Housewives of New York's" Kelly Bensimon.

WHAT WE THOUGHT: This collection is filled with really wearable, pretty pieces. In this show, styled by Kate Young, the outfits hardly looked different from the ready-to-wear shows we've been seeing for the past eight days. The catwalk was a sea of grays and blacks; we would have loved to have seen a little more color.

It seems Jennifer Esposito is a longtime Ann Taylor fan. "The first thing I bought with my own money was from Ann Taylor," she told Stylelist. "I was 13 and I worked in a movie theater taking tickets and making popcorn. It was a green cable knit sweater and I loved it."
