Fashionable Celebs Know ‘The Heart Truth’
Each year, for NY Fashion Week, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute hosts their annual Heart Truth Red Dress Collection Fashion Show which features designs from some of the hottest designers (both established and up-and-coming) being modeled on the runway by some of the most fashionable celebs on the scene … or just so happen to be available ;) Here are a few pics of some of the celebs who rocked their red dresses on the runway at this morning’s fashion show and some deets on this year’s event itself:
The annual Heart Truth Red Dress Collection, sponsored by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute is arguably the feel-good moment of Fashion Week as a star-studded lineup of celebs and athletes strut their stuff on the runway wearing, natch, red dresses from top designers to promote heart health awareness among women. This morning’s joyous romp at the tent was no exception. A breathless Tim Gunn provided a welcome message, calling the Red Dress, “a sexy, passionate and powerful symbol,” noting that “being healthy never goes out of style.” And then wham . . . out came the 20 high-profile women who volunteered to take the walk down the runway for the cause. In the not-a-bit-shy department: Lynda Carter of “Wonder Woman” fame looked swell in a Carolina Herrera slither with one-shoulder bow, laughed and mugged her way down the runway. Vivica A. Fox worked it too wearing a glitzy sequined number from Jenny Packham. The crowd went nuts for charmer Cicely Tyson, though her dress by Michael B. — with sleeves on steroids –was an “Oy Vey” moment. Long Island’s own Susan Lucci was all-out glam in a goddess chiffon and sequin number by Gustavo Cadile. Newly slim Valerie Bertinelli won cheers in her Christian Siriano strapless job; Kristi Yamaguchi in fave Vera Wang and “Dancing With The Stars,” co-host Samantha Harris in jersey David Meister both got high scores for their animated runway glide. Hilary Duff was demure in Donna Karan’s languid body conscious gown. More restrained but still fab: an elegant Jennie Garth in Badgley Mischka, body beautiful Olympic gold medalist Nastia Liukin, in sexy, short Max Azria and finale model Katie Couric, wearing a rhinestone strapped Carmen Marc Valvo, her signature wide smile and an aura that read, “What am I doing here? Get me Sarah or Sully.” Interested in frocks worn by one of these gals? A selection of these will be available at auction beginning today through Feb. 27 at clothesoffourback.org with proceeds benefiting the Foundation For National Institutes of Health. Want to see some of them in real life? Some will be on display at Rockefeller Center’s Top Of The Rock Observation Deck from Feb. 14-21.
Hello … where is the love for Amanda Bynes and Tori Spelling, for christsakes?! Tori looks AMAZING in her cute little number … she deffo looks much hotter and sexier than her 90210 cohort Jennie Garth (sorry Jennie). Amanda’s cute little red dress is also a stunner. It’s really great that these fashionistas are able to pair up with great designers (like Christian Siriano) for a fun event like this … that it’s all for charity only makes the event even more special. Click HERE to visit the auction website and place YOUR bids for your fave red dress. Which one of the bunch do YOU like best?

okay.. since I’m always dissing on Tori’s unfortunate ugliness, I wanted to say that she actually looks okay, from a distance, in THIS photo.

Amanda and Tori both look GREAT! Jenni looks ok… but Hillary Duff looks like an old lady! Usually I think she is cute, but wow… that’s unfortunate!

Amanda Bynes has killer legs, she looks great! katie Couric looks pretty, but very uncomfortable up there. Probably just out of her element.

Amanda is too freakin pretty.

Um Trent, I love your site and all……but Vivica A. Fox & Nia long also walked this show. Can I get a little more diversity on the page……..not only J. Hudson & Beyonce.

I’d much rather look at Lynda Carter and her over-fifty HAWTNESS than Tori Spelling’s perpetual drag show. She’s fug; end of story. Amanda Bynes is so effing adorable I can’t stand it. Love, love, LOVE this girl!
February 13th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Amanda looks amazing!!! Okay, and I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but…Tori looks really incredible, too. I think I will regret that later on in my life.

Tori looks like a man in drag.

I LOVE Tori’s dress. If only I were 20 years younger. *sigh*

The dresses are beautiful. But one thing though, Trent, why didn’t you post photos of the celeb models that are women of color? It would just be nice to see more diversity in these posts.

@LadyG — honestly, I chose 4 photos from the first page of available photos … I didn’t go thru the other pages to find other photos, I picked the first 4 that I liked.

Trent! – I just have to say that I would have called you a Champion of Diversity is any one had asked me!
