Eighteen celebs, including supermodel Christie Brinkley and singer Gloria Estefan, dominated the runway in red dresses donated by some of America's most well-known designers.
Model turned actress Rebecca Romijn kicked off the show in Marchesa, navigating the runway the same way she did in her supermodel days.
Other models in the Red Dress show included Debbie Phelps, who stopped on the catwalk to kiss her son U.S. Olympic gold medalist swimmer Michael Phelps.
As well as "Dynasty" star Linda Evans, actresses Minka Kelly and "Millionaire Matchmaker" Patti Stanger.
The red dress show coincides with New York Fashion Week, which starts today with some 90-designers showing their autumn 2012 collections.
