Ciara and La La Anthony at LaQuan Smith

They both look facially glorious and for one hot minute I thought this show was being held on the subway, which would be -- for the record -- amazing.

Hilary Rhoda at Markarian

Fun fashion week fact: I once saw Hilary Rhoda...with a ZIT. Imagine!!!!!!!

Hailee Steinfeld at Michael Kors

This is cute and also has taught me that Hailee's Met Gala look was (I think!) a wig.

Imaan Hammam at Michael Kors

Was the Michael Kors show at the boat house in Central Park? Yes, I could look it up. But I'd rather just ideally speculate. Anyway, she looks perfect for lunch at the boat house! (Okay, I looked it up. I was close. Tavern on the Green!) Ugh, I love Michael Kors. I don't care if it's Basic, sometimes you want the perfect camel coat.

Jane Krakowski at Michael Kors

Or the perfect lamè trench!

Kate Hudson at Michael Kors

Kate had to have been WARM in this!

Lucy Hale at Michael Kors

This is EXTREMELY kicky.

Renee Elise Goldsberry at Michael Kors

Like, see? This is a dress that a real person would buy and wear for the rest of her life. You can wear it like this in summer, and over a turtleneck in winter! It's actually clothing that people wear!

Sabrina Carpenter at Michael Kors

I LONG for this coat.

Shanina Shaik at Michael Kors

Very Gwyneth Paltrow in Great Expectations.

Tommy Dorfman at Michael Kors

Tommy! This is dishy. Legs for days.

Dove Cameron at Michael Kors

This is ALSO dishy. I feel like Dove Cameron is dressing like the antagonist in a really chic erotic thriller lately. I like that journey for her.

La La Anthony at Christian Cowan

This show looked like a fun party. This is a PARTY dress!

Liza Koshy and Winnie Harlow at Christian Cowan

Winnie Harlow accidentally thought the theme was apres-ski but she's making it work.

Saweetie at Christian Cowan

This too is a party, although perhaps a teeny bit snug on her bosom.

Tinashe at Christian Cowan

SEE? A PARTY.

Alexandra Daddario at Coach

Meanwhile, Alexandra here looks slightly like a depressed Victorian governess who has accidentally time-travelled to 2021 New York. Honey, I am SO SORRY, I would have suggested anywhere in the 2009-2014 time frame instead if you felt the need to do this particular millenium.

Nicky Hilton at alice + olivia

A+O always has a great celeb turn-out and this year was blessedly business as usual. She and Paris are regulars at this one, and this dress is CUTE and reasonable.

Lea Michele at alice + olivia

I told you...she hath returned.

Cuba Gooding Jr at alice + olivia

Then Cuba Gooding Jr showed up. (This is the point in this event where Heather and I would have had a hushed convo about whether or not that was.....Cuba Gooding Jr.???? At Alice and Olivia? And then realized yes.)

Jason Biggs at alice + olivia

Jason Biggs seems like a person who might pop up at a fashion show to get out of the house sometimes. He also seems like one of those people who you'd THINK would be a fun interview but was actually kind of a pill.

Jenny Mollen at alice + olivia

This look is cute on her!

Chrishell Stause at alice + olivia

SHE, on the other hand, is -- I am 100% sure of this -- a delight to interview. You can just tell sometimes when a celeb is going to be a sweetie to the fashion week journo making the rounds.

Kimiko Glenn at alice + olivia show

This feels on brand for her; also I love her.

Adrienne Bailon at alice + olivia

One of my fave things about A+O is how they inexplicably have like twenty different good backdrops for celeb shots.

Lucy Hale at alice + olivia

Very autumnal!

Charli XCX at Maisie Wilen

Ah, yes. The lone celeb, the first person to be seated because she is punctual and doesn't realize this thing won't start for another 35 minutes. THIS is when a young (or old) front row journalist can POUNCE because it's awkward to be sitting there alone and a celeb WILL likely chat to you. Ah, the good old days. I miss Fashion Week!

Chloe Bailey at Rodarte

Very pretty! She wore them at the Met.

Tavi Gevinson at Rodarte

I like this even with the Boob Doilies. (I interviewed her at Fashion Week once when she was A BABY CHILD and she was very very sweet, and her parent -- I asked them if I could talk to her -- were also lovely, as I recall. TIME FLIES. SUNRISE SUNSET.)

Kehlani at Anna Sui

Okay, but I love this.

Keke Palmer at Tory Burch

I also love THIS. Give me those glasses!

Keke Palmer at Tory Burch

What a treat she is.

Karen Elson at Tory Burch

Tory Burch looks like it was fun.

Emily Ratajkowski at Tory Burch

Even if EmRara looks a bit tired.

Chloe Fineman at Tory Burch

I'm not sure about this outfit, but she wore Tory at the Met and looked FAB.

Mindy Kaling at Tory Burch

"And then I was like OH DAMMIT they're taking our photo." (This lipstick is SUPERIOR.)

Jared Leto at Staud

Yes, we have all certainly worn this in the last year and a half.

Larry David at Staud

I'm sure you've seen the tape of him in the front row of this show, perhaps on the phone?? perhaps miserable?? and it's terrific. I am SO SAD I didn't attend this show and have to try to get a quote from Larry David for New York Magazine. No matter what happened, it would have been good copy.

Hilary Rhoda at Staud

She looks great.

Ego Nwodim at Staud

She also looks great! Who can resist the lure of the argyle.

Christine Quinn at The Blonds

Honestly, this seems absolutely on brand for her.

Justine Skye at Kim Shui

Justine is a dish and this outfit has so many STRINGS!

Saweetie at Tom Ford

ALSO very string-forward. She looked SUPER on the red carpet of the VMAs but I think this was like...an hour later? So she must have dipped in fairly short order. (Her head looks the same -- fantastic.)

Julianne Moore and Tom Ford at Tom Ford

Honestly, no one dresses her better than he does.

Gigi Hadid at Tom Ford

Yes, yes, we're all getting back into our leather pants.

Jennifer Hudson at Tom Ford

This coat!

Dylan Penn at Tom Ford

I guess we're trying this!

We Missed Some NYFW Front Row Shenanigans Over The Weekend

Let's eyeball these front rows.
