Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger flaunted her svelte figure in a Marc Bouwer dress while country singer Jennifer Nettles walked wearing David Meister. Chaka Khan and Gloria Estefan worked the runway and the crowd in Chis March and Narciso Rodriguez respectively.
Rose McGowan tripped but caught herself before she stormed the catwalk in Donna Karan and Friday Night Lights starlet Minka Kelly was all smiles in a sequined DVF number.
Decked in red and pulsing with energy, the crowd cheered as each celeb showcased her own inspired interpretation of the runway strut.
