Jaime Pressly debuted her spring/summer J’Aime line to a audience filled with stars like My Name is Earl co-star Jason Lee and fiance Beth Riesgraf, Ethan Suplee, Eddie Steeples, Giovani Ribisi, Nicky Hilton and David Katzeberg, Wilmer Valderrama and Rex Lee in what turned out to be one of the biggest shows of L.A. fashion week. While Jaime’s husband Eric Cubiche made sure everything was positioned just right backstage, Jaime made her appearance on the red carpet in a blue silk dress, ankle boots and hair pulled up in a long ponytail. “I was going for something a little more conservative but sexy sophistication and tailored pieces,” Pressly told PEOPLE. The white runway and glittery accents set the scene, but the clothes were anything but flashy. Designed with Renee Bardot, adorable dresses in flattering shapes and bold prints came down the runway, along great separates like high waisted pants and frilly blouses. Jaime walked the runway at the show’s finale to roaring cheers and a standing ovation from her star-studded front row. Jaime confided to PEOPLE, “my thing is I have always had to prove people wrong, my whole life. This is going to prove everybody wrong ten fold. Originally I just had a knit line and now it’s a collection of sateen and silk and linen and eyelets and chiffon, it’s gorgeous.”

They say every little girl dreams of being a princess, and heiress Nicky Hilton is no different. For her debut show at L.A. Fashion Week, the socialite unveiled her collection Chick by Nicky Hilton to friends, family, and the fashion press on Sunday night. “It’s Disney princess-inspired and very fun. The apples are clearly for Sleeping Beauty, the glass slipper for Cinderella, so its all very fun and clear,” Nicky told PEOPLE of her spring collection that debuted to a packed house, including her prince charming David Katzenberg. Telling PEOPLE “I am very proud of her. She worked hard on it,” David gave her a kiss on the cheek and white roses during her finale walk down the runway. Parents Rick and Kathy Hilton were also seated front row in support of their daughter’s fashion endeavors. “Nicky is so passionate about her fashion. It’s exciting to see her show,” said the proud parents. Despite the support of family and friends, such as fellow designer Jaime Pressly, sister Paris was conspicuously not in attendance.
