EVENT FAB: The Heart Truth 2011 Red Dress Collection With Gayle King, Patti Labelle And Eve

 

Last nighit in New York City, The Heart Truth kicked off Mercedes Benz Fashion Week with their 2011 Red Dress Collection and TheYBF.com was there.  Tons of celebs in a sea of red gowns made their way down the catwalk.  Come inside to see pics of Gayle King, Eve, Natasha Bedingfield, Patti LaBelle, Laila Ali and others...

 

With Diet Coke, Swarovski, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics and AOL Inc. as partners, The Heart Truth introduced the 2011 Red Dress Collection as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness.  The show was held at The Theatre at Lincoln Center.

 

And outside, the celebs posed in their designer dresses on the red carpet

A glowing Laila Ali showed off her baby bumb wearing A Pea In A Pod.

Taraji P. Henson wore designer Naeem Khan.

The delightful Gayle King wore Donna Karan.

Garcelle Beauvais wore a strapless gown with a fitted bodice and full skirt of large cascading roses by Monique Lhullier.

 

Eve rocked a David Meister dress.  But those tatoos ruin it for me.

Dania Ramirez wore Malandrino. I don't really like the cut of this gown from the front.

Here's a shot of Dania and Garcelle together.

 

Each of the ladies then took spins down the runway....

And the legendary Patti Labelle wore Zang Toi.

 

And after the show we snapped a few of our own pics.  

The ladies all posed on the runway for a final shot.

We spotted Miss Jay and Jay Manuel.

 

We also met Miss Black USA, Osas Ighodaro.  She is the first Nigerian American to win the crown.

And Natasha Bedingfield in Nicole Miller, posed with Eve.

Gayle chatted up Laila Ali.

And caught up with Patti.

And Eva Amurri wore the designer Chris Benz while she posed with Garcelle and Taraji.
