Fashion Week NYC: Jonas Bros Party at Marc Jacobs, Paula Abdul Talks Runway Remixes

Fashion Week NYC: Jonas Bros Party at Marc Jacobs, Paula Abdul Talks Runway Remixes

New York Fashion week continues to heat up with sexy spring collections and even sexier front row celebrities. See which stars -- from Paula Abdul to the Jonas Brothers -- made their rounds on Monday (Sept. 10), stopping by shows like Marc Jacobs, Alice + Olivia, and more.

Chris Benz

Chris Benz mixed a bold color palette with an ultra-feminine edge at his spring 2013 presentation. Bright floral slip dresses and vintage-inspired blazers spoke to a free flowing and effortless spring to come.

Kelly Osbourne made her rounds at the show in a gorgeous Chris Benz original retro dress with bright orange detailing on the shoulders. Paula Abdul also stunned in a black and fuchsia dress by the designer as she casually strutted around the audience.

We caught up with the former "X Factor" and "Idol" judge to talk NYFW at the show. "Fashion week is great because it's a departure for me from what I do," Abdul told Billboard. "It is great to take a break from what I do and to see such masterful talent and inspiring fashion. There are so many great designers here!"

As DJ Mike Nouveau was spinning Tiny Tim in the background, Abdul commented on the music at the show. "I've always wanted to hear Tiny Tim in the background of a fashion show -- I feel like it goes together. It's a little bazaar though. My music taste is all over the map. My playlist is everything from Jay-Z to old-school R&B. It always puts me in a good mood to listen to Stevie Wonder."

If her music was played at NYFW, Abdul would want it to "definitely" be remixed versions. "Like with a Tiny Tim-ish beat," she added.

Alice + Olivia

Alice + Olivia designer Stacey Bendet created a celebratory, retro-tinged collection for spring 2013. The fun, frisky collection ranged from classic dresses with '50s silhouettes to elaborate creations featuring feathers and embroidery.

Natasha Bedingfield popped by to check out Alice + Olivia's party gal style, wearing a bright green sheer top with a black bra underneath, wide leg black pant, oversized patent leather belt and a subtle gold necklace. Natalia Kills also attended the presentation, wearing a fuchsia blazer and shirt with oversized black sunglasses.

Marc Jacobs

From the opening riffs of the Fall's "Copped It," it was clear that Marc Jacobs' spring collection would have an air of punk to it. Gray, maroon and taupe hues saturated the spring collection, which was comprised of knee-length skirts, suits, and tops with ruffled collars. More conservative that other collections, Jacobs' spring 2013 line was almost as classic as the reoccurring vertical stripe motif. But don't be fooled by the conservative line -- there was something deeper and much more sexual happening at Jacobs' show. Low riding skirts and pants delicately revealed models' midriffs, redefining modern day sex appeal.
