Eve and Demi Moore

There were sweeping views of Central Park and a sunlit cityscape, but all eyes were on Demi Moore and Eve at a luncheon celebrating Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz. "It doesn't count as wearing white after Labor Day because it's cream, not white," said Eve of her wardrobe choice. Demi was happy to support Elbaz, who designed her wedding dress.

The front row at BCBG Max Azria was a family affair. "She's my little blonde twin. People always say we look alike," Tina Simpson said of doppelganger daughter Ashlee. Down the row, Martina McBride took in her first fashion show with her daughter. Singer Ciara sported an all-gray ensemble. "I love my high-waisted jeans, my high heels and my fly winter boots. So necessary, gotta have them," Ciara said of her fall must-haves.

Brittany Snow and Sophia Bush

Humberto Carreno/Startraks
Sophia Bush said it took her only a few minutes to "eat breakfast, throw a little makeup on and head out the door" for the 10am BCBG show. But the One Tree Hill star-who ran into Hairspray actress Brittany Snow on her way into the tents-was already battling fashion week fatigue. "I started losing my voice and I never stop talking when I'm here, so it's not getting any better!" Bush said with a hoarse laugh.

Once the Gym Class Heroes took the stage for a private performance, the couple joined in with the screaming fans at Eyebeam Studios, dancing to the band's rendition of "Cupid's Chokehold" in the elevated VIP area.
