Fashion Week: Heart Truth with Heidi Klum, Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush!

    Hey Glamazons!

    After the Ports 1961 show, I took a much-needed break to eat, recharge and get ready for one of the most fabulous, fun shows of the season: Heart Truth Red Dress Collection.

    The runway was adorable: glittery chandeliers hung above it and at the end, there was a set fit for a candy striper. Too cute for words!



    My fabulous friend, Sandrine (check out her blog, La Dolce Vita, and upcoming blog, Date City) and I managed to get into the second row! Here's a camera phone pic of us before the show. Loves it!


    Before the show started, Superbowl winner (Who Dat!), Saints running back, Reggie Bush, tried to slip quietly in his front row seat. Little did he know, one row behind him sat the girl who's been harboring a secret crush on him (it's the dimples) for years...yours truly. I walked up to him to get a picture (strictly for blog purposes, wink) and he was super sweet about it. Yum.



    Okay, so I had to acknowledge his fineness though I know he was there to support his girlfriend Kim Kardashian (whose crazy family I watch every Sunday so no shade at all to her, happy for them, I swear!).

    Though Reggie caused a mini commotion (someone behind me asked, is that 50 Cent?), once the show started, all eyes were on the beautiful celebs.

    Here's the rundown of designers/stars plus pics!

    A pregnant Bethenny Frankel was charming in Isabella Oliver. The entire time she was holding her stomach and smiling from ear-to-ear in a ruched strapless dress.



    Felicity Huffman came out to applause in Oscar de la Renta. She looked stunning and stopped to hug her husband.



    Estelle was gorgeous in an elaborate Zac Posen gown. She broke into a rockstar pose at the end of the runway. So fun!



    Joan Collins walked out in Stephanie Rolland. The crowd erupted in applause and everyone was trying to snap a picture.



    I just love Jordin Sparks' energy! She showed off a new svelte bod in a form-fitting Badgley Mischka number.




    Kim Kardashian wowed in a Marchesa gown that highlighted her famous curves. Her make-up and hair was elegant and refined. She stopped to blow a kiss to boyfriend Reggie in the front row. So cute!



    Kimora Lee made an appearance wearing a short, sequin dress from her new line, Kouture by Kimora. Yes, it's spelled with a K. She looked beautiful and stylish, as always. (Sidenote: I was surprised to see her since rumor has it that Baby Phat isn't showing this season?! Somebody explain).



    Raven-Symone hit the runway in Tadashi Shoji---and can I say she was super-fierce? She even kicked her shoes off before walking backstage! Don't hurt nobody (No seriously, that could've flew into someone's face).


    One of my personal favorites was Regina King, who sauntered down the runway in a curve-hugging dress from Tracy Reese (she's in amazing shape) to Alicia Keys' "Put it in a Love Song." I love that when the music suddenly stopped, she paused, broke into a pose and kept moving once it played again without missing a beat. Now that's fierce!


    Robin Roberts walked out to applause in a one-shoulder J.Crew Collection dress that showed off her toned shoulders and arms. She's such a strong figure, battling breast cancer and covering hard news like the earthquake in Haiti, without losing her fun, cheery disposition. Everyone was inspired by her and cheered her on down the runway.



    Can we stop pretending Heidi Klum is a human like the rest of us? She came out looking impossibly gorgeous in a John Galliano gown and sleek blonde hair. She's all the more striking in person.



    All the ladies walked out under red heart confetti at the end, danced and posed for a picture under the Heart Truth banner.

    All in all, it was a superfun show for a better cause: spreading awareness about heart disease. Visit http://www.hearttruth.gov/ for resources about the disease and what you can do to help.

    The Heart Truth Red Dress Collection show always lifts my spirits and was a great way to end a sad day in Fashion. Oh and as if the show wasn't entertaining enough on its own, I saw my girlfriend in my head, Wendy Williams, and ran into the hilarious Robert Verdi (pictured below with the amazing Elaine) and Micah Jesse (check out his blog, he cracks me up!) after the show. Fun times!



    Now off to bed for a full day of shows tomorrow. Stay tuned!

    Kisses,
