TheYBF is reporting that talk show diva Wendy Williams, Grammy-winning reality-star Toni Braxton and Olympic gold medalist Gabrielle Douglas participated in the Heart Truth Red Dress Fashion Show last night officially kicking off Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York City.
The annual fundraiser, sponsored by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, is a reminder to women that everyone has a role to play in the fight against heart disease. Each year, hundreds of New Yorkers gather at the Hammerstein Ballroom to see their favorite celebrities strike a pose on the catwalk in stunning red dresses.
Other participating celebrities included Kelly Osbourne, Kendall Jenner, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Roselyn Sánchez, and Soledad O’Brien.
Take a look at the ladies below:
Toni Braxton sashayed down the runway to her classic hit “Unbreak My Heart” wearing a two-toned red Herve L. Leroux cut-out dress. The award-winning singer will appear in the Lifetime movie, Twist of Faith on Saturday, Feb. 9 at 8pm EST.
Williams owns the runway in this Normal Kamali Kulture one shoulder dress with nude studded Louboutin pumps. She strutted down the catwalk to Diana Ross’ “I’m Coming Out.” How You Doin?
Gabby Douglas went for the gold in this Pamela Roland hi-lo gown. Her runway anthem was Alicia Keys’ “Girl on Fire” and says that her catwalk strut was inspired by Beyonce’s Super Bowl performance, “She is incredible and she made it look so easy.”
