A Front-Row Look at NYFW's Celeb Style Set

Half the fun of Fashion Week is seeing who pops up in the front row — cue this stylish set of stars, like Diane Kruger and Alexa Chung, who have been stepping out all week to support their favorite designers with the best seat in the house. So, while we look to the runways to draw inspiration for next season, the front row is chock-full of styling fodder to put to good use right now.
