"Fashion is really fun to play with because it's self-expression," One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush has said. This season, she expressed herself in the front rows of New York's most-exclusive fashion shows, wearing designer looks like this blush-toned ensemble from her pal, Max Azria. "[He] amazes me-he's just so talented," Bush told us. "Everything he makes is beautiful and every runway show he ever does I walk away feeling lighter and happier and inspired."

"French women have that allure that everyone speaks about and Catherine [Malandrino], I think, really puts that in her clothing," Bush told us. "It's sexy without trying, it's elegant." Certainly the sheer purple minidress the petite star sported-along with Jacob and Co. diamonds-embodied all those qualities.
