"All of Julie’s clothes are so fun and sweet," said Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester, here with designer Julie Haus at her Spring 2009 fashion show. "It's all about this dress. I can wear it during the day and feel glamorous, then vamp it up a bit and it’s still sexy and summery for night." The actress had a busy day on Friday, hitting both the Jason Wu and Haus fashion shows, and then made a stylish appearance at Fashion Rocks.

Forget the no-white-after-Labor-Day rule, Emma Roberts was a beauty in a white satin dress at the Erin Fetherston show at The Promenade in Bryant Park. The actress is only making a quick stop at New York Fashion Week before she heads to the Toronto Film Festival to promote her movie, Lymelife.

"Everything on me is Dolce & Gabbana!" declared Ugly Betty's Becki Newton, who attended a posh fete hosted by the Italian fashion house for Michael Roberts's new photo book, The Good Shepherd. "Lately I've been inspired by the farm-girl, New-England look, so when I saw this blouse I just loved it," she explained, while mingling with the well-heeled guests who gathered at the label's sleek Madison Avenue boutique to toast the book-a series of black-and-white photographs inspired by Dolce & Gabbana's sheepskin-chic Fall 2008 collection.
