The newest Gossip Girl addition, Tika Sumpter had a rather busy Fashion Week. We caught up with her just after she left her front row seat at Christian Cota. "I've met a lot of new people. Just yesterday, I had dinner with Max Azria and his wife Lubov, it was amazing," she gushed.

Eve

was on hand at Marchesa's Fall 2011 presentation where she talked to us about her Fashion Week must-haves: "Bronzer, lip gloss and a good pair of sunglasses are all you need, just in case." The rapper took her own advice with a perfectly glossed pout and Chanel shades-pairing her must-haves with a Marchesa dress, of course.

Michelle Tractenberg

Also at the Marchesa presentation, Michelle Tractenberg told us about her choice to wear the label the to an event the night prior. "I wore a cobalt blue Marchesa dress for my Maxim cover party which was so great. That was such an amazing dress," she said. The Gossip Girl star chose Marchesa again with this pretty floral number.

checked out what Diesel had in store for its Fall 2011 Black Gold collection from a front row seat next to Chace Crawford. The singer epitomized the label's glam rock aesthetic in one of their leather and denim jackets paired with a great statement necklace.

Kirsten Dunst

Avid Rodarte fan Kirsten Dunst showed her support at the Fall 2011 show from the front row. More often than not, Dunst rocks the designer on the red carpet and luckily for her, the show delivered plenty of options for the coming season.

Olivia Palermo and Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens

sat front row at the Tibi Fall 2011 show next to the label's current campaign star, Olivia Palermo. "I love Tibi because it's just super cute, super fun, really awesome girly pieces that are good statement pieces," Hudgens told us. She wore a Tibi shirt and blazer while her seatmate wore a skirt and top from the designer.

told us about her decision to wear this Hervé Leger dress under a skirt when we caught up with her backstage at the label's Fall 2011 show: "I saw this skirt and just had to wear it somehow.

The star reminisced with us about her own history with the iconic brand: "The very first shoot we did for publicity for Will and Grace, I was wearing a Michael Kors shirt and that kind of started my love affair. He's my go-to designer, I always feel beautiful and sexy in his clothes."

Leighton Meester and Marc Jacobs

Leighton Meester

and Marc Jacobs enjoy a laugh at the designer's Fall 2011 show. The circular print on Meester's Marc Jacobs dress ended up being extremely à propos-almost the entire fall line was sprinkled with polka dots.

Vanessa Hudgens

Also at Marc Jacobs was Vanessa Hudgens, who had just come from the Alice + Olivia presentation with Kelly Killoren, Kelly Rutherford, Brittany Snow, Nicola Peltz and Tika Sumpter. The star crowd was met by a ravishing number from up-and-coming burlesque performer Hazel Honeysuckle-extremely appropriate for the February 14th event.

Christina Hendricks

sat front row to see what Carolina Herrera would send down the runway for her Fall 2011 collection. The Mad Men star was really channeling the style of her on-screen personality Joan, in a CH by Carolina Herrera navy dress.

Rumer Willis, Kellie Pickler and Kelly Osbourne

Current Badgley Mischka Spring 2011 campaign star, Rumer Willis showed her support at the Fall 2011 show along with Kellie Pickler and Kelly Osbourne, all wearing dresses from the label.

"I ate a piece of pizza today, really late," she admitted.

Simon Doonan and Blake Lively

A new Diet Pepsi can was a cause for celebration and Blake Lively joined in the fun. In a Valentino mini dress and Christian Louboutin booties, the Gossip Girl star posed with Barney's Creative Director Simon Doonan who designed a special display in honor of the new "Skinny Can," on display throughout Fashion Week.

Molly Sims and Fergie

Exactly one week after Fergie performed for millions at the Super Bowl in Dallas, she spent some time off from the front row at the Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2011 show with Molly Sims. The Black Eyed Peas front woman enjoyed the same front row privilege at Marc Jacobs the next day.

Jon Hamm

The Rag and Bone menswear show had a famous face in its front row - Jon Hamm! Mad Men's star showed some off-season scruff. Maybe Don Draper wouldn't approve, but we sure do.
