Martina And Musician Shoe Designers Options

[GetOffMeFace]

Martina McBride Would Not Trust Marilyn Manson With Her Shoes

We don’t quite get why Fashion Week parties must include live concerts,
but we're not complaining. Strike that: Last night's private pre–Fashion
Rocks concert featured Santana, a man not exactly in his prime. Though
weirdly, he is designing women's footwear. The man of the hour didn’t
stick around long enough after the show to explain himself, so we got
fashion tips from a couple of his A-list celebrity admirers.

Chad Kroger of Nickelback, who has a new single with the guitar god,
bristled at our assertion that Canadian fashion consists mainly of orange
parkas and snow boots. “I come straight from the book of Johnny Cash.
Black, black, and more black.” Clive Davis suggested a tailored suit with
a matching necktie and handkerchief. Martina McBride, who favors Zac
Posen and Prada and was headed to her first fashion show ever, BCBG,
this morning, even defended the idea of musicians designing shoes.
“Maybe I wouldn’t trust Marilyn Manson, but musicians are generally very
sensitive people,” she said. “Mick Jagger, I bet he would design really
great shoes. I feel like male musicians might actually try them on and
wear them around.” —Jada Yuan

Another one...

Unbelievably, for all the grousing we did in February about the relative lack
of celebrities hanging around Bryant Park, we almost missed our first sighting
of this season. As we waltzed into the BCBG show busily gossiping about hot
shoes and the giant pink flower pinned to one girl's brunette coif, it took us
far too long to realize we were walking right behind tennis ace Martina Hingis.
We probably should have asked her for Andy Roddick's phone number. Next time.

We can't blame Hingis for taking the sting out of her third-round U.S. Open
loss by surrounding herself with pretty people and gawking at clothes — it's
what we would do, if we couldn't find a pitcher of margaritas first — and the
view from her front-row seat wasn't too shabby. To Hingis's left sat Martina
McBride in a tight, sleek black number with a leather bolero, and singer
Natasha Bedingfield wearing a flattering floaty dress, which marked a refreshing
change from her usual nutty getups. Farther down the row, cherubic blonde
actress Brittany Snow chatted enthusiastically with BCBG staple (and future
K-Fed co-star) Sophia Bush, whom tragic socialite Olivia Palermo crossed the
catwalk to greet (for her trouble, Olivia at least received an enthusiastic compliment
on her outfit). Olivia then headed back to her seat next to Marine Azria (who, at
the show's end, jumped up to give Max a standing ovation) and the trio of Donald
Trump Jr., his formidable hair, and his cheerful wife, Vanessa. We also caught a
glimpse of stylist Jessica Paster and America's Next Top Model judge/hottie Nigel Barker.

Ashlee Simpson slipped in shortly before the lights went down, perhaps delayed
because somebody had finally strapped her down and dragged a brush through
her hair. That person is a true hero, and we'd like to shake his or her hand,
because Ashlee looked approximately 75 percent better than usual, all cleaned
up and — at least temporarily — Pete Wentz free.

After a show, celebrities usually dash out of the event venue like it's just
burst intoflames, but in this case, Ashlee, Natasha and Martina McBride stood
around and amiably shot the breeze. Natasha and Ashlee chatted about Fashion
Rocks, and Martina introduced Ashlee to her very patiently waiting 9-year-old
daughter Emma, who seemed a bit awestruck. Considering the effort most
showgoers put into seeming as unimpressed as possible, the youngster was
a rather refreshing way to start the week. Or maybe we're just going soft.

Meanwhile, seen at Bryant Park: Socialite Byrdie Bell — who ditched her front-row
seat at the 10 a.m. BCBG show — did manage to drag herself out of bed in time
to stand in line with the rest of the plebes at the Havaianas booth. We understand:
If you've seen one floaty party dress, you've seen 'em all, but they don't give out
free flip-flops every day. —The Fug Girls
