Tommy Hilfiger is in the middle of an epic Fashion Week — two shows down, one to go — but the designer put family first Friday, popping by the fall presentation of daughter Ally’s new line, NAHM.

“I love it,” Tommy told PEOPLE as he perused the collection of cocktail dresses and separates. “I saw some of the samples, but now seeing them on the models, they look great.”

Ally, who cried tears of joy when greeting family and friends, told PEOPLE she was inspired by vintage prints and “strong, powerful women. We’re growing [our customer] up a bit, but she’s also this very effortless, intellectual woman.” Speaking of, the former reality star and her design partner, Nary Manivong, sourced some of their floral and Egyptian-inspired fabrics from Ally’s own vintage collection. “They’re recolored and resized,” Ally explained.

Meet Our Celebrity Fashion Week Blogger: Kristin Cavallari!

Mom-to-be Kristin Cavallari is spending a few days in New York City to attend Fashion Week — and she’s taking us with her! The former reality starlet is blogging her way through the shows exclusively for PeopleStyleWatch.com, giving us inside info on her favorite fashions, the best parties and more. Here, in her first blog, she arrives in the Big Apple and gives us a preview of what’s to come:

So excited for Fashion Week! Just got to New York and I love being in the city. New York has such great energy during this time.

This year I decided to only go to three shows. In the past, I’ve done numerous shows and it gets exhausting. I’ll be seeing Rachel Roy, Betsey Johnson and Dennis Basso. I’ve gone to Betsey every time I’ve been to Fashion Week and she never disappoints. It’s by far the most fun you’ll have at a show. Rachel Roy will be a first for me and I cannot wait. I’ve been a fan of her line for a while now. Dennis Basso will also be a first and someone that is new on my radar.

Fashion Week is definitely many a girl’s dream … and what’s not to love? I’ll be playing dress-up for the next two days and wearing some amazing outfits. You can take more fashion risks in New York and especially during Fashion Week, so I can’t wait to show you some of the risks I’ll be taking that I wouldn’t normally. Tell us: What do you want to see Cavallari wearing?

Gisele Bündchen Hits the Catwalk at New York Fashion Week

What Super Bowl outburst? After a particularly rough week — where she watched her husband’s Patriots lose the big game and then shared some not-so-nice words about his teammates — Gisele Bündchen got back to doing what she does best on Saturday, walking the runway for designer Alexander Wang at New York Fashion Week.

There were rumblings of her appearance before the show (as the team at Fashionista Tweeted, “Freaking GISELE backstage at alex wang”) and once she did hit the catwalk, wearing an asymmetrical military-inspired black leather coat and matching boots, she was met with cheers.

“It was special to walk in the Alexander Wang show on Saturday,” Bündchen told PEOPLE exclusively following the show. “He is an innovative designer and a sweet person. I look forward to working with him in the future.”

Bündchen wasn’t the only big name in the house, however: she was joined by Carmen Kass, Shalom Harlow and Karolina Kurkova, who all received big rounds of applause, as well.

Hot Stuff: Rihanna, Gwyneth Paltrow Cut Fine Figures at the Grammys

Chris Martin is a lucky man! The Coldplay rocker’s leading ladies — collaborator Rihanna and wife Gwyneth Paltrow — paused for a hot shot Sunday night while backstage at the Grammy Awards, showing off their slim figures and similar, slinky gowns. Rihanna worked the room in custom Giorgio Armani (she’s currently a face of the designer’s denim and underwear lines), while Paltrow wowed in a long black number with a solid gold belt.

Shailene Woodley: I’d Wear Sneakers with a Gown Again ‘in a Heartbeat’

Shailene Woodley Shoe Debate

When it comes to style, Shailene Woodley is on both sides of the fence.

“I really don’t know anything about fashion,” The Descendants star told FASHIONetc at Thursday’s Honor runway presentation during New York Fashion Week. “This is my first fashion show ever.”

And though the Oscars are only weeks away, the 20-year-old has lax specifications for her gown. “I have to be able to breathe,” she says. “I have to be able to have a food baby, and if I’m going to be sweaty, I need a dress that won’t show my sweat marks.”

But despite her nonchalance, Woodley also has her convictions: “I would do it again in a heartbeat,” she tells New York of the much-maligned (and much-criticized) barefoot running shoes she wore to a Golden Globes after-party.

“If people spent as much time thinking about the genocides going on in Africa and around the world as they do the shoes that actors wear to after-parties, the world would be a much more peaceful environment.”

WATCH: Minka Kelly, Fashion’s Finest Hit the Catwalk for a Cause

If Minka Kelly was nervous about walking in Wednesday’s Heart Truth Red Dress Show at New York Fashion Week, she definitely wasn’t showing it. The actress hit the runway in a glimmering, custom creation by Diane von Furstenberg, and was met with cheers from the adoring crowd.

Kelly got involved with the annual show through sponsor Diet Coke, once the company asked her to be their celebrity ambassador. “Before I got involved I didn’t know that heart disease was the number-one killer of women,” she told PEOPLE exclusively (hear more in the clip above). “If I get one girl to go to the gym one day more often than she does … then I’ve done a good job.”
