The slushy snowy weather couldn’t stop fashionistas from turning out in top outfits for a full day at Fashion Week.
Hundreds of celebrities, models and industry leaders poured into The Tents at Bryant Park in full fashion form despite the weather for shows of adored designers Vera Wang, Max Azria and Elie Tahari.
“The weather isn’t going to stop me at all,” said Bethenny Frankel from “The Real Housewives of New York City,” wearing a dress without tights and high stiletto pumps. “Why do you think I’m wearing my purse on my head!”
AnnaLynne McCord from “90210” walked into Badgley Mischka show in more weather-wary attire, donning a long puffy jacket with a furry hood. But the starlet promised underneath the coat was a sexy black dress.
“I cover up outside,” she said. “But inside I’ll take it off and reveal more.”
The fashion shows themselves were barely held up despite the weather.
Model Alina Ismailova, who walked in the Elie Tahari show to kick off Tuesday’s show, said she spent maybe a few extra minutes in hair and makeup after walking in a bit damp, but everything went smoothly.
“It’s a beautiful collection. It went very well,” she said.
Lilian Araten, who works in sales for Tahari, was hussling through Bryant Park after the show carrying only a mini-umbrella that barely covered her and her coworker, Antoniette Kent.
She said she wasn’t bothered by the snow, though.
“When you have great fashion, the weather doesn’t change anything.”
