It was a star-studded event, as everything was painted red at the Red Dress Heart Truth show.

With Tim Gunn opening up with a welcome message for the show, day two of NYFW was off to a great start. And as the dashing Mr. Gunn said, the show was their "Valentine" to all in attendance. It actually felt as such.

Red Dress paired 20 celebrities with designers, and donned one-of-kind red gowns. The pairings were:

Amanda Bynes / Daniel Swarovski
Jennie Garth / Badgley Mischka
Tori Spelling / Betsey Johnson
Vivica A. Fox / Jenny Packham
Lynda Carter / Carolina Herrera
Daisy Fuentes / Pamella Roland
Kristi Yamaguchi / Vera Wang
Natasha Henstridge / Verrier
Nia Long / Tracy Reese
Brittany Snow / Marchesa
Nastia Liukin / Max Azria
Valerie Bertinelli / Christian Siriano
Amanda Beard / Cushnie et Ochs
Patricia Arquette / Nicole Miller
Samantha Harris / David Meister
Cicely Tyson / B. Michael
Jane Kaczmarek / Michael Kors
Susan Lucci / Gustavo Cadile
Hilary Duff / Donna Karan
Katie Couric / Carmen Marc Valvo

It was truly a fabulous show. Check out the gallery:

Actually, there isn't a "correct" way.

I have often wondered about the fascination that I, and women just like me, have with baby doll dresses. Although adorable on hangers, they are rarely flattering on a human. We are often struggling with our weight, and yet we opt to wear something that causes us to have a pseudo baby bump. According to a New York Post article published last summer, men hate them anyway because they make us look as though we are with child.
I am aware of this, yet I still wear baby doll dresses every chance I get. And so do celebs, like

Amanda Bynes,

Nicky Hilton

and Kylie Minogue

Unless you're thin enough for people to assume that there's no way you're carrying a small child under your dress, it's usually best to assume that most waiters will be asking if you're eating for two--why, yes, it has happened to me on several occasions. Thank you very much!

But they do hide our hips a little bit...and they do feel more free than most dresses.
And stores, such as Anthropologie, do have cute options for summer:

And so, when your dress is that cute, who really cares if you look preggers? Go ahead, eat for two! Don't be afraid to polish off that extra slice of cheesecake, or pick from your boyfriend's plate.

Okay, I don't mean that, but I'm still planning to wear many more baby doll dresses this summer. What do you think of them?
