Anna Wintour watches Carolina Herrera's Fall/Winter 2010 show at Bryant Park on Monday. The collection featured confident color-blocked jackets topped with fur, and, as expected, luxurious eveningwear: shimmering metallics, floral prints, and on one dress, tartan plaid.

Demi Moore reportedly flew in just for Donna Karan's runway show, where she sat in the front row between Brooke Shields and Susan Sarandon. "Damn!," Joe Zee, Elle Magazine's Creative Director tweeted about Susan Sarandon. "Single looks good!" The collection featured lots of black (with a few doses of color), and exaggerated shapes: shoulders that would get in the way at a cocktail party, seductively sculpted hips, and sky-grazing details on dresses.
