The rain didn’t stop Sarah Jessica Parker, Rachel Zoe, and other stars from stepping out in NYC for the launch of Valentino’s virtual museum at the IAC headquarters last night. Rachel Zoe looked glamorous in a beaded gown by the designer and was joined by husband Rodger Berman. Claire Danes, who’s starring in Showtime’s new series, Homeland, came out in a bright red dress. She wore another look by Valentino on Wednesday when she was honored at the NY Women in Film and TV Muse Awards for Vision and Achievement.

Sorry the thumbnails suck… Plus we added a picture of Hugh Dancy, who also attended the event.
