New York Fashion week opened with one of the hottest fashion shows to hit the runway. World renowned superstars like Kelly Ripa, Rachel Ray and Katherine McPhee strutted their stuff down the catwalk is some of the sexiest red dresses ever created. High profile celebrities like the ones listed above (as well as Kim Catrall and Angela Bassett), gathered to model dresses for the Heart Truth Red Dress fashion show.

Hot designers like Oscar de la Renta, Donna Karan and Diane Von Furstenberg showed their support by lending some of their incredible designs for the show. The show was designed to create awareness of women and heart disease and it was a definite success. The highlight of the night? Billy Jean King, the founder of the Women's Tennis Association, strutting his stuff down the runway to Michael Jackson's hit single "Billie Jean".

Kelly rocked the runway in a sleek v-neck dress with an empire weight. The knee-length design flattered Kelly's petite frame and her ruby red slippers are incredibly chic. Kelly's incredible outfit made such a statement that she made the front page of the New York post for her memorable walk down the catwalk.

Rachel Ray glowed in a floor-length, single-strap gown. While Rachel opted to smile as she walked (unlike many other models) she maintained poise and elegance in her red hot gown. 

All the celebrities who chose to participate in the runway show made it a memorable event. Hopefully the tradition will continue next year.
