New York City’s much anticipated Fashion’s Night Out lived up to the hype, especially for the screaming fans and shoppers who made their way up to famed department store Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue to catch a glimpse of Victoria Beckham, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Lines to get into the luxury store stretched around the block and inside was just as packed. Victoria, clad in thigh-high Gucci boots and a neon mini dress, arrived around 7:30 PM to pose for pictures and sign Fashion’s Night Out T-shirts, telling PEOPLE on her way out, “It was great. It was really great.” Meanwhile, Mary-Kate and Ashley took a break from designing successful lines Elizabeth and James and The Row to work as bartenders on the 7th floor. Marli Milask, a lucky shopper who got an Olsen-mixed martini, tells PEOPLE, “It’s not that strong, but it’s good. We waited an hour to get inside and just see them for ten minutes, but it was worth it. They were very nice, just pouring drinks and handing them out.” And though the scene at Bergdorf’s was mayhem, one of the bartenders who worked beside the Olsens tells PEOPLE that the famous designers weren’t phased. “It was very relaxed. We were making a vodka and pomegranate drink. We mixed a couple of hundred drinks together. They’re very hard workers. Very nice.” Click here to check out where the other stars spent Fashion’s Night Out, and be sure to follow us on Twitter at Twitter.com/StyleWatchMag for all the latest Tweets from the Fashion Week!

Patrick McMullan/SIPA

What better time to celebrate the launch of a jewelry line then during New York Fashion Week? And former model Molly Sims was her own best model last night as she debuted her Grayce by Molly Sims for HSN jewelry collection decked out in not one, but two $90 statement necklaces from the line. Famous friends including Michelle Monaghan and Nate Berkus joined her at the Manhattan event to get a first look at the pieces, which were inspired by the effortless style of icons like Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot, as well as art deco designs of the ’20s and the sexy sophistication of the ’60s. The rest of us will still have a bit of a wait snap up Molly’s designs, which won’t be available on HSN until next month — and we can’t wait to see more!

EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK: Real Housewives Danielle Staub’s Daughter Hits NYC Fashion Week

Courtesy The Daily

Last month, we told you Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub’s teen daughter had signed with IMG models, and she’s already snagged her first cover. The Daily, Fashion Week‘s daily glossy that recounts all the shows, parties and gossip from the day before, usually reserves its much coveted covers for designers and the most talked-about looks, but this Saturday, they are introducing the fashion world to Christine, whom they are billing as “America’s next beauty”. So, does this mean we’ll see Christine on the runway this week? “She may walk in one or two, depending on her school schedule,” an IMG rep tells PEOPLE. And while most girls in Christine’s position would take some time off from school, this Jersey girl is sticking to the books. “I’m so excited to be signed by IMG, and I know people will see me around the upcoming shows, but as the President reminded, school comes first so I’m going to concentrate on my studies,” Christine tells PEOPLE. “I want to make sure that any work I do in the coming year allows me to focus my energy on my classes, varsity track and of course my first love: reading.” We will be on the look out for Christine hitting the runway — and, of course, her mother Danielle sitting front row — this weekend.

New York Fashion Week has officially started, and the stars are already out in droves. Last night, Charlize Theron, Blake Lively, Michelle Monaghan, Alexis Bledel and Taraji B. Henson and Vogue editor Anna Wintour herself turned out to help Saks Fifth Avenue unveil its new designer floor. Designers including Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, Zac Posen, Marchesa’s Georgina Chapman, Vera Wang and Christian Siriano also helped to celebrate the 32 unique cocktail dresses created just for the floor, which were on display. For Charlize, who helped host the event in a floral-print Dior for Saks Fifth Avenue exclusive, feeling at home among the fashion world’s heavy hitters was nothing new. “I started in the fashion industry,” the actress tells PEOPLE. “It’s a harsh business. You have to have a thick skin and be resilient.” Gossip Girl star Lively arrived dressed in a stunning blue sheath from Victoria Beckham’s dress collection, while her costar and off-screen boyfriend Penn Badgley kept it casual in trousers and a button-down, as he joked to PEOPLE, “I always dress down, that’s a secret. Pretty much always and she dresses up all the time.” Getting ready was simple for Bledel, who showed off a gorgeous croc-textured one-shoulder frock by Siriano. “It was pretty quick,” Alexis told PEOPLE of finding deciding on that night’s look. “We found this sculptural, beautifully colored blouse and then the skirt, I just loved the fabric of the skirt.” Follow us at Twitter.com/StyleWatchMag for all the latest Tweets from the Tents!

Drew’s New Two-Tone Do: Love It Or Hate It?

Ryan Miner/Splash News Online

Drew Barrymore certainly isn’t tame when it comes to her beauty looks. In the last year alone, she’s rocked everything from an exaggerated Marilyn Monroe-inspired bob at the Golden Globes, to streaks of blue paint for an indie music event. So when she switched to a conservative blonde bob recently, we knew it couldn’t last long. And Drew lived up to her daring ways last night, turning out in Boston to promote her film Whip It having dipped the ends of her long bob in black dye. Her two-tone do works with her punky plaid shirt and heavy liner, but will we see her sporting it to next week’s Emmy Awards? What do you think of Drew’s latest beauty change-up?

Bauer-Griffin

First Sarah Jessica Parker and now Kim Cattrall — looks like Sex and the City 2 is definitely having an ’80s moment! Kim Cattrall’s Samantha Jones is known for her sexy style and love of designer handbags (remember the Birkin episode?), but what was Sam like before life as a high fashion-loving publicist? If this look is any indication, Samantha was working a seriously-sexy, hair metal look. We love everything from her studded denim vest, neon leopard body suit, sheer panel leggings, and buckle-up booties — and check out that hair! Who else could carry this off?
