Celebrity Fashion Week

The stars descended on New York Fashion Week on Sunday, with Olympian Dara Torres hitting the catwalk, Justin Timberlake putting on a runway show and the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Uma Thurman lining the front rows.

The high wattage came on a day of birthday parties for DKNY and Calvin Klein, which was celebrating 40 years in business with a star-studded party Sunday night.

For his William Rast collection, Timberlake treated a roster of A-list celebrities and Vogue editor Anna Wintour to buckets of Budweiser and a collection inspired by the back woods of Tennessee.

Torres strutted the runway holding her 2-year-old daughter Tessa at the Charles Nolan show, wearing an indigo and white-striped silk jersey tank with navy swim shorts.

Backstage, she confessed that she worried about stumbling on the runway like Carrie Bradshaw did in "Sex and the City." But the 41-year-old silver medalist kept up with the 20-somethings: "There was a girl (modeling) who said that she was really nervous and I said, `Swimming in the Olympics is much more nerve-wracking!'"

Lopez, Thurman, Eva Longoria and Venus Williams were at Diane von Furstenberg's spring preview, while Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci were both in the front row for Donna Karan's 20th anniversary collection.
