Fashion Week Starts Strong with Fashion Rocks

Beyoncé, Rihanna and other stars rock the house with music and style at NYC event

She's got style for miles. Kicking off New York Fashion Week, Beyoncé looked fabulous in this beautiful banana gown at Friday night's Fashion Rocks event.

But beautiful B then proceeded to belt out a stellar version of Etta James's classic, "At Last" to a star-studded crowd—which included Etta James herself. Nice.

A classy look, a class act.

Beyoncé later dueted with Justin Timberlake on a crowd pleasing, "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" (other musical guests included Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Kid Rock, Mary J. Blige, Miley Cyrus & Mariah Carey).

But the fashions statements also moved the New York fashionista throngs. Sample some of the stars' finery in our Fashion Rocks 2008 Gallery.
