Tracy Reese's Down-To-Earth Style Has Wide Appeal

Celebs love Tracy Reese. But it's the support of Michelle Obama that has really made an impact.

When they met at a fundraiser, the First Lady gave her a big hug as though they were always friends. Michelle's warmth means a lot to the designer — so does the fact that the First Lady is a mother and businesswoman.

Tracy's down-to-earth designs and price tags attract a wide range of fans, including Gabrielle Union and Natalie Morales, who were front row this afternoon.

Gabrielle loves that Tracy designs for real women with real bodies. Natalie agrees. She also thinks the First Lady has sent an important message by choosing affordable lines like Tracy's.

When the show began, the infatuation with long hems continued in the guise of gray and teal pleated maxis. Sumptuous furs upped the ante, while shimmery dresses caught the fans' eyes.
It was those flirty touches that put Julia Stiles front row today. And we don't blame her!
