BRYANT PARK — Celebrities of the big and small screens traded in their starring roles Monday for seats in the audience at Fashion Week in Bryant Park.

Wearing over-sized dark shades and an ornate beaded jacket, Michelle Trachtenberg of the TV series "Gossip Girl" looked every inch the part of her onscreen socialite persona Georgina Sparks, while co-star Jessica Szohr looked less like her bohemian alter-ego Vanessa Abrams and more like a runway model in a tiny white cocktail dress.

AnnaLynne McCord of "90210" looks sun-kissed even during winter in Manhattan as she walked into the tents, and another West Coast star, Shantel Van Santen of "One Tree Hill," was pretty in a pink dress and strappy purple heels.

Roxy Olin of "The City" headed to the Jill Stuart show at the New York Public Library adjacent to Bryant Park, but sadly, was without her on-screen best buddy, Whitney Port. Actress Mena Suvari was also at the Jill Stuart show.

Big screen start Julia Stiles, wearing a long black winter jacket, chose to attend the Tracy Reese show.

Lesley Williams, a local fashion blogger, said she was thriving on the energy of Fashion Week. She has already seen a handful of shows — from Betsey Johnson to Simon Spurr.

“It’s so exciting to see what’s new on the runway,” she said. “I love watching all the shows come together.”
