Over the weekend, a number of semi-celebrities were out in full force at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at in New York City. Since I’m not nearly as well versed in fashion as Kaiser, I’ll try to make the best of my limited knowledge here with this trio of B to C-listers who turned out for the front rows. First up, here’s Lea Michelle, who attended the Alexander Wang show in a stretchy beige drawstring sack. She paired the non-eventful dress with bright blue Nico pumps by Brian Atwood. Is this a reverse trend of the nude shoes that we often see with brightly colored dresses these days? Who knows, but I cannot think of a single actress or model who could pull off this look except maybe Paz de la Huerta, who wouldn’t be so much “pulling it off” as continuing her trend of being a total hot mess.

Rose McGowan, however, did not go for the beige look. She wore a bright pink dress with purple heels at the Charlotte Ronson show. Rose looks cute here although she went too matchy with the lipstick and blush, and I’m not too sold on the black tulle detailing at the bottom of the dress:

Meanwhile, Peaches Geldof donned a shapeless vintage dress for the Y-3 show. She was accompanied by her boyfriend, Thomas Cohen, who (for whatever reason) wore distressed jeans and made a grand personal statement by leaving out the socks. Those shoes must smell horrible by now, but that’s nothing new when it comes to matters involving Peaches:

Don’t worry, The Fug Girls don’t get Peaches either and had a ringside report from the front row:

“Ugh,” said a girl next to us. “Peaches Geldof. I don’t know what she does besides sit on people’s laps at fashion shows.” And, indeed, there was Peaches Geldorf, wearing a silver lam&ecute; dress and perched in the front row atop the lap of a dude with a bob. Regardless of her raison d’être, Peaches was photographed as fanatically as if she had a mile-long IMDb page. One of the snappers we spoke to explained that pictures of Peaches mean big money in British markets, so maybe we just don’t get her appeal because we’re Americans. Then again, we have no problem understanding Kate Middleton’s appeal, so maybe the problem here is that we just don’t speak Geldof.

Peaches still looks super skinny here. I’m still holding out a small grain of hope that she’s actually picked up some healthy habits instead of taking the drug-related shortcut to thinness that’s so popular with starlets worldwide.
