Fashion Week's Best Red Carpet Gowns — and Who Should Wear Them

At Fashion Week, strange things can happen — like spotting breakout child star Millie Bobby Brown (of Stranger Things — get it?) hanging out with none other than Anna Wintor at the Calvin Klein show. And, while we may only dream of wearing such gowns, these front-row fixtures get to actually wear them. While they're busy hanging out backstage with Alexander Wang, we've been busy finding the perfect dresses for some of our favorite fashionistas. Living vicariously? Us too.
