Why bother sitting in the front row if you can be the star of the show?

For Richie Rich's Fashion Week entry Wednesday night—delicious but with the nutritional value of dessert—the stars got to walk the catwalk instead of watching the waifs do their thing. Current Playboy cover girl Aubrey O'Day, "Unstoppable" singer Kat DeLuna, socialite Tinsley Mortimer and regular Richie Rich muse Amanda Lepore all served as runway royals.

But the real star power came during the surprise finale. Pamela Anderson shook everything she had in a skimpy gold bathing suit as Christina Aguilera's "Keeps Getting Better" blasted through the Waldorf Astoria ballroom.

Keeping the theatrics alive, the quirky designer eventually joined the flailing fortysomething on a pair of roller skates...and the Baywatcher picked her wedgie. This is fashion at its most fabulous, people!

There was one boldfaced pair who sat front and center for the fashion fiesta—Ice-T and Coco, who managed to tell one reporter a little too much about their "special Valentine's Day lovin'."

Needless to say, this was one Fashion Week show where the drama far outweighed the designs.
