The proverbial house inside New York's Skylight at Moynihan Station got fuller Thursday evening as 23 stars, including Candace Cameron Bure, Fran Drescher, Olivia Culpo, and Alexa PenaVega (above), paraded onto the runway for the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women Red Dress Collection fashion show. Proving that New York Fashion Week offers more than a new season of designs and Kardashian-Jenner sightings, this year's Red Dress models slipped into their one-of-a-kind crimson creations and hit the catwalk to raise awareness and funds for women's heart health.

"I'm here to bring awareness to women and heart disease because we don't know that much about it. We just kind of put it on the back-burner," Wheel of Fortune's Vanna White told InStyle before walking in the show. "We need to be aware of it and take care of ourselves and get check-ups and eat good and exercise and do all those things. I'm here to help everybody stay alive."

Cameron Bure reigned the runway in her Badgley Mischka ensemble, but she divulged that her fashion-forward Full House character D.J. Tanner (whom she's reprising for the upcoming Fuller House series) probably would not have done as well since she'd be "a little more nervous." The actress explained: "I'm kind of used to crowds. I don't think she is."

Culpo mastered the art of walking in a Marchesa gown—but don't think it was easy work. "I never anticipated that this dress would be so complicated to wear off the runway because there are people all over it backstage and everybody keeps stepping on the train of this dress, so I didn't think that was going to happen," she told InStyle before she hit the runway. But ultimately, the evening turned out to be unforgettable.

Fran Drescher momentarily reprised her The Nanny role on the runway by cheekily pretending to fall over and applying makeup and lipstick along the way. "I'm not trying to be Kate Moss. I'm happy if I just go out there and make people laugh," she told InStyle backstage.

Could Candace Bure be any sweeter? We didn't think so, but the actress was gleaming moments before her catwalk showdown. "They gave me a couple to choose from and this is the one that I love," she said of her Badgley Mischka dress. "It's comfortable—that's what's most important."
