Alexander Wang's show has become one of the most anticipated events of New York Fashion Week, but this around, Rihanna stole the spotlight well before any models came down the runway. That's saying something, considering Wang's signature star-studded front row also sat rappers Nicki Minaj and Tyga, their R&B cohort Miguel, ravers Die Antwoord and Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon side by side. RiRi turned heads in an oversized midnight blue dress-jacket and a matching iridescent fisherman's hat we're 99 percent sure only she could pull off. She finished off the look with her signature red statement lip, long red nails, bold jewelry and one of Wang's Spring/Summer 2015 handbags. In terms of guest list and collection compatibility, Wang hit this one out of the park.

Poppy Delevingne Wears Bold Lips at Desigual
It's Fashion Week and amazingly, we're talking about the other Delevingne.
Poppy, older sister to "It" model Cara, sat front row at the famously flamboyant and vibrant brand Desigual, and it was a match made in heaven. While her front row cohorts Rosario Dawson and Olivia Palermo stuck with chic, monochromatic outfits, Delevingne made a statement in a mini LBD covered in luscious lips. She topped off the look with a playful mini purse covered in stars, suede ankle boots and a bright red statement lip of her own that clashed with the pink lip prints in the best way possible. We're often reminded that fashion should be fun, and Delevingne is arguably having the most fun at Fashion Week so far.

Shay Mitchell Suits Up at BCBG Max Azria
Here's proof that you don't need pants to suit up. Actress Shay Mitchell kicked off Fashion Week with a fresh, feminine take on the traditional tux: a crisp white shirt-dress layered under a tuxedo vest, paired with matching two-toned sling back heels. An effortless top knot showcased her fresh-faced glow -- a natural lip and loads of lashes for a simple yet stunning beauty look. We'd expect nothing less from a Pretty Little Liar.
Sure, our eyes are glued to the towering models walking the runways of New York Fashion Week, but we're also keeping a close eye on the stylish celebrities who have snagged the best seats in the house. Though it's the designers' creations that take center stage, we love watching Hollywood's stars trade their floor-length red carpet numbers for edgier fashion-forward picks.
