Marc Jacobs’ front row tonight was filled with fashionistas such asVictoria Beckham, Anna Wintour. . . K-Fed? The budding actor’s rep confirmed his expected presence at the closing show of Fashion Week yesterday to PEOPLE, and he turned up to not just Jacobs’ show, but also Diddy’s Sean John line beforehand. Clad in a Sean John pinstriped suit and a pink shirt — and sporting a mohawk– Kevin Federline came backstage to hug the rap-mogul and designer on the way to his front row seat. Once the lights dimmed, he was off to Marc Jacobs — for a quick change into that designer’s duds and a private banquette, where he sipped water as he watched the models come down the runway. And what did Federline think of the big show? He tells PEOPLE on his way out, “I thought it was great.” –Jeffrey Slonim

How do you send a massive ripple through 1000 jaded fashionistas on the last day of Fashion Week? Send Posh down the runway! Before the Project Runway finale show began, Heidi Klum walked Victoria Beckham, in an electric orange draped dress, down the runway along with Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. And as the show began, the Spice Girl was introduced to the enthusiastic crowd as the guest judge for the show’s finale, following in the footsteps of previous judges Debra Messing and Parker Posey. Giving away nothing to the crowd, all five contestants left on this week’s show sent collections down the runway with no word on who the three finalists actually are! Heidi took to the runway at the end of the show, exclaiming “This is the best finale yet!” — and we’re bound to agree. Watch the two part finale beginning Feb. 27 on Bravo.

Every spring, we set out to find our perfect bag — one that moves seamlessly from work to weekend, keeps our clutter organized and never weighs us down. We’re going to give our shoulders a break this season with a lightweight leather bag in an elegant muted neutral. We’re all about double-duty when it comes to carrying it — we love bags that give us the option of either slinging it over the shoulder or toting it by hand. That way, we get more options out of our big splurge. Of course, with so many chic bags out this spring, it’s a challenge to pick just one. Celebs are toting luxe carry-alls, chic day clutches, lady-like handbags and retro shoulder bags. There’s a size and shape for every occasion, but we’ve still got our hearts set on this Gryson “Hannah”, $895, for now. Tell us: What do you look for when shopping for a bag? What’s your perfect purse?

Could you tell me where to find Gwyneth Paltrow’s bag on the PEOPLE’s photos from Feb 1st?– RR

Gwyneth Paltrow tried to keep a low profile as she stepped out to visit to the local Kabbalah center in Manhattan wearing dark black shades, long black coat and jeans. But her fabulous Balenciaga Luna bag was a definite attention getter. We first saw the Lune bag last summer when Ali Larter started toting an all-black version all over L.A. But we think we might love Gwyneth’s brown and black choice even more. For the real thing, at a whooping $1845, contact the Balenciaga NYC store at 212-206-0872. For something a little more affordable, check out our top picks below!
