NY Fashion Week: Day 8

Marc Jacobs

provided the perfect finale to fashion week, welcoming a galaxy of celebrities like Victoria Beckham to his fall show. While supergroup Sonic Youth played live in the background, Posh, Ellen Pompeo and the rest of the lucky ticket holders watched the parade of models in lame, silk and flannel. The biggest surprise of the evening? The show began close to the scheduled start time-a rare feat in the fashion world.

Selma Blair

was among the VIPs who sipped champagne from Moet & Chandon backstage before the Marc Jacobs show. At the after-party, Sophia Bush and Lil' Kim chatted while stylist Rachel Zoe told Jacobs that she'd been refused entry to the show by a pack of overzealous guards.

After escorting wife Ellen Pompeo to Michael Kors and Rag & Bone, Chris Ivery finally got a chance to scout fall fashions for his own closet at the Sean John show. Before splitting to hit the Marc Jacobs show, the couple chatted with designer Sean Combs and model Helena Christensen.

Sheryl Crow

made a surprise appearance at Skylight Studios for the Ralph Lauren show, where she congratulated the designer and his wife, Ricky, after the catwalking had wrapped up. Lauren presented a fall collection of city-chic ensembles in warm plaids and velvets.

The Project Runway Season 4 fashion show turned out to be one of the hottest tickets of the week, with show hosts Heidi Klum and Michael Kors welcoming Victoria Beckham to the front row. "Well, for me personally, there is one designer who is a very clear winner in my eyes," the Spice Girl, who served as an honorary judge of the designs by Runway finalists, told the New York Observer.

Susan Sarandon

headed to Donna Karan's Greenwich Village studio to watch the display of luxe jeweled-toned dresses and chunky knits at the designer's fall show. Sarandon chatted with Karan's look-alike daughter, Gabby as they waited for the runway action to begin.
