In case my tweets didn't give it away, last night I attended the Red Dress Collection Fashion Show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City as a DietCoke® Heartbeat Reporter. This show is unlike any other - it's fun, it's crazy, it's packed with celebrities and it's all for a great cause - heart health awareness and heart disease research. Me and my fellow bloggers covered the red carpet arrivals, backstage beauty and of course, the show. We also got to chat with DietCoke's The Heart Truth ambassador, the beautiful Minka Kelly, who wore my favorite gown of the evening, a stunning deep v-neck red sequin gown by Diane Von Furstenberg (who was seated just a few seats away from me - eee!). Minka revealed her budget fashion secret is H&M. Girl after my own heart! Thanks to Diet Coke® for a night I'll never forget. Keep reading to see some of my favorite looks from last night. Which ones do you love? Or better yet, which designer would you want to wear if you were walk the runway?
