At every fall Fashion Week they show The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection. The “Heart Truth” is an anti-heart disease campaign that is showing for the fifth time at the tents in Bryant Park. Each year, the show draws celebrity participants - and this year wasn’t any different.
The show was introduced by first lady Laura Bush and set to an appropriate red carpet theme with faux paparazzi snapping photos of them at the beginning of the runway.
That said, instead of critiquing the garments let’s just enjoy this red festival of designer dresses for philanthropy.

Time for a group photo! Mistress of Ceremonies Laura Bush opted for a cream-colored Oscar de la Renta suit - I guess she didn’t get the memo.

Stunning!
Such a great job. When I was in college, I did paper about Mercedes Benz. I really respect their business and quality of the brand. The show looks amazing!.
Well done Mercedes-Benz.
