The big difference between last year and this year's GM Ten Fashion Show? Less exhaust and fewer coughing celebrities in the front row. Otherwise, the drill at the sixth annual pre-Oscar event held on the Paramount lot was pretty much the same. Loud music, cool cars and fabulous clothes styled by Rachel Zoe, who seems to have managed quite well, thank you, without her former DUI charger Nicole Richie.
Modeling on the runway: three Oscar nominees (and one in the audience), a triple Grammy winner (Mary J. Blige), a couple of hot musicians (Beck and Fall Out Boy) and a handful of TV's top award-winning stars from "Grey's Anatomy" and "Heroes."
Bruce Willis sat with Brett Ratner while his ex-wife Demi Moore and her plaything Ashton Kutcher kissed and cuddled while sitting next to "Volver" best actress nominee Penelope Cruz. Demi snapped shots of the models during the show and then giggled as she turned the camera on herself and Ash. What, you don’t have enough shots of yourselves? Get a booth!
Inspired by her photo skills, "Little Children" Oscar nominee Jackie Earle Haley whipped out his Blackberry and took a shot of Penelope, Ashton and Demi while he walked the runway in a Dolce & Gabbana suit and motorcycle-style boots. Then he showed the shot to the driver of the car he was sharing the runway with. The guy can definitely improvise.
And then, the 2007 Award Season "It Girl" came out...
