Front-row fashion roundup

As fashion week nears its close, its time not only to review what we saw on the runway itself but on the more famous of spectators. They are, after all, soley invited to generate publicity. So, let them serve their purpose, and lets us break it down.

No one generated more buzz than Rihanna, who seemed to attend more shows than not, even showing up at anti-celebrity-for-hire Martin Margiela (more on that later).

But, perhaps, an overexposed celeb loses his/her endorsement factor if attached to every designer under the gay-pride rainbow?

Don't get me wrong, I love Rihanna, but she's kind of a clothes horse. She's a walking advertisement 99.9% of the time!

A little less trend, a little more personal style please.

Gwyneth, on the other hand, at Burberry stuck to her go-to mini and blazer combo, but paired with the casual T, it was fresh. She took in the show next to Burberry face Emma Watson and partied backstage later with Liv Tyler and pal Stella McCartney. Strictly A-list dressing AND company for Gwyneth, of course.

And finally, rounding out the week's best dressed was Mary-Kate, fringed and fabulous, who, as you know, can do no wrong in my eyes.
