STARS HIT THE SHOPS TO SUPPORT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

RIHANNA, GWEN STEFANI, VICTORIA BECKHAM, CHARLIZE THERON and SARAH JESSICA PARKER were among the stars who stepped out on Thursday (10Sep09) to celebrate New York's first ever Fashion's Night Out event.
The celebrities took to the stores of the Big Apple after Vogue magazine editor Anna Wintour called on shoppers to help kickstart New York Fashion Week and spend, spend, spend.
Hundreds of clothing stores extended their opening hours to take part in the fashion extravaganza, which saw Stefani make an appearance at upmarket department store Bloomingdales, Theron at Christian Dior, and Lindsay Lohan at Emanuel Ungaro, the label at which she was this week (begs07Sep09) named style consultant.
Rihanna was seen shopping at Intermix in the SoHo district, while Beckham showed her support at Bergdorf Goodman and Parker joined forces with couturier Oscar de la Renta at his boutique.
Wintour herself teamed up with Hollywood actress Kate Hudson, designers Diane von Furstenberg and Michael Kors, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to bring a touch of glamour to the borough of Queens with an appearance at department store MACy's.
New York Fashion Week runs until next Thursday (17Sep09).
