February 6 - 15 - Maybe it's the Iraq situation or the fashions are just plain scary, but New York's fall 2003 Fashion Week was celebrity-lite. Women's Wear Daily's Monday headline, "Attack of the Killer B's", referred to the B-listers attending the shows. Never fear, the intrepid Open All Night team sifted through the riff raff and found whoever was to be seen. We applied our unique scoring method to the runway shows, and came up with the winners.

Our system excludes repetitions: rap diva Eve, rap mogul Damon Dash, and actresses Hilary Swank, Claire Danes, Kim Cattrall and Rosario Dawson made multiple front row appearances. Marc Jacobs came in first with Liv Tyler, Gina Gershon, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kristin Davis, Jimmy Fallon, P. Diddy, Sofia Coppola and Drea DeMatteo. Runner up is Sean John with Kelly Osbourne, Mary J. Blige, Macy Gray and Kelly Ripa.

Our celebrity meter beeped for Sarah Jessica Parker at Narciso Rodriguez, Craig David at Luca Luca, Camron and Alicia Keys at Baby Phat, Patti LaBelle and Wyclef Jean at his wife's label Fusha, and Renee Zellweger at Calvin Klein. We also spotted the first fashionista, W daughter Barbara Bush, at Zac Posen.

Eve is such a fashion hound that she changed designer blouses between Carlos Miele's show and Narciso Rodriguez's an hour later. Backstage at Narciso, we confronted Hilary Swank, self-professed Marc Jacobs girl, who stammered, "Um, well, I'll always be a Marc Jacobs girl at heart. You know, I love Marc, and I…. it doesn't mean there's not room for others. My heart's big." Harvey Keitel and ex-wife Lorraine Bracco avoided each other at Imitation of Christ, where their daughter Stella modeled. Bracco said to her companion, "My ex-husband's here. I don't mind, but the media….". (Ahem.) Icy cordiality ruled when Harvey's current wife Daphna introduced herself to Bracco.
