Alicia Keys Is Bored With Tracy Reese, Life

Generally, being at a fashion show is like watching a really good tennis rally: You're moving your head back and forth, drinking in the front, side, and back view of an outfit before turning back to see what's coming next. Unless you're Alicia Keys, in which case you never move your stare from the top of the runway.

None of the dresses and coats Tracy Reese sent past Keys's front-row seat today enticed her to so much as half-swivel her noggin for a second look. We're sure it wasn't out of boredom — although, sadly, Reese's line was kind of dull, littered with perfectly serviceable items we might consider picking up at Macy's as long as they were under $50. No, Keys clearly just harbors a crippling fear of getting whiplash. Poor Alicia. It must be really debilitating. The secret shame of this phobia is obviously why she hid behind giant black bug-eyed sunglasses for the entire show, as if she were Anna Wintour herself. We'd send Alicia a muffin basket or something to express our sympathies, if only we were remotely interested in her life.

Also spied around the tents: Kelly Rowland, formerly of Destiny's Child, and model Veronica Webb, at Tracy Reese (neither of whom seemed to have trouble moving their necks); and the highly burnished Rachel Zoe, taking in Zooey Deschanel's performance of "Dream a Little Dream" at the Erin Fetherston show. Our little dream is for Zoe to keep her withered talons away from Deschanel, who apart from having a strange fondness for wearing thick black tights with even the flirtiest, most summery dresses, really doesn't need the kind of advice or emaciation she'd get out of that deal with the devil. — The Fug Girls
