New York Fashion Week Fall 2008

Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery

At the Bryant Park tents, Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery slipped into the W Hotel VIP lounge—a chic all-white boudoir with chandliers, a full bar, DJ, and plenty of cozy couches—for a moment of peace and quiet before heading to the high-decibel Rock and Republic show. "Most people don't know this, but I'm actually very shy," confessed Pompeo, who reapplied her lip gloss and sipped a Diet Coke before making a backstage entrance just before the catwalking got underway.
