Gossip Girls – February 19, 2009

Making the most of her time at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week, Claire Danes was spotted living it up at the Zac Posen runway show last night (February 19).

The “My So-Called Life” cutie looked excited to be in on the action as she arrived at the Bryant Park Promenade sporting a shiny white short-sleeved dress with black heels and a white handbag.

And it sounds like Posen’s presentation was an overwhelming success, with both the crowd and critics lavishing praise on the native New York designer.

The Wall Street Journal wrote, “The clothes were romantic, almost Victorian, yet completely modern and urban. Woolen tweedy jackets tossed together with flirty floral silks. This was a collection with full-on attitude and it electrified the room. Even the photographers toyed with the models. When Coco Rocha walked in a scarlet boucle jacket and orchid-colored skirt, one photographer shouted, ‘Now THAT’s a woman,’ causing Ms. Rocha to grin broadly as the audience laughed.”
