The Best of the Front Row: New York Fashion Week

Half of the fun of fashion week is people watching, and we re not talking about the models walking down the runway. Celebrity front row spotting can be a rewarding sport, from the pleasant surprises—Justin Timberlake at Oscar de la Renta—to the eye-searingly bright—Nicki Minaj at Carolina Herrera—to previews of what’s about to walk down the runway—**Beyoncé’**s tulle-layered cocktail frock at Vera Wang.

Above, our top sightings of New York Fashion Week.
