Everyone wants a piece of the action at the tents at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City and these lovely ladies are no different.

Yesterday we spotted a smiling Nicole Richie, Gossip Girl and Nickelodeon stars Michelle Trachtenberg and Amanda Bynes and Beverly Hills 90210 star Jessica Stroup.

I am so excited for Michelle's return to Gossip Girl! I don't want to spoil too much but it looks like Serena and Blair have a big problem on their hands and they need someone as scheming and devious as Georgina Sparks to help them out!

      

With the color purple symbolizing royalty, dominance, spirituality and mystery, its no wonder we spotted so many celebs wearing it lately.  As you can see above, purple dresses come in all styles and shades as worn by Emmy Rossum, Mariah Carey and Kristen Bell.  For more Hollywood hotties rocking the new it-color, just click on the pictures below.

Hairspray actor Zac Efron was finding it very hard to hide his admiration for co-star Amanda Bynes during the premiere for the movie in New York last night. Amanda looked great in a slinky black dress, and it seems Zac wanted to know what was underneath it.

They turned out in force for the premiere of the new John Travolta movie, Hairspray, in California. But maybe some of the guests like Ashley Tisdale, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer and Amanda Bynes should have spent a little longer at the salon before they hit the red carpet. What do you think?
