Besides the sucky gift bags that fashionistas were whining about, there was another thing about Fashion Week that has many people wondering. Where are the celebrities? Certainly, it's understandabale that LA Fashion Week is nowhere near the leagues of New York or the shows in Europe, but you would think with so many celebrities who live in the area, they'd make the jaunt down to Smashbox Studios in Culver City to take a peek at designers from their hometown! Still, the shows weren't completely devoid of celebrities. Here are some we saw, and some we heard were there (but didn't see because I am very vary bad about recognizing people on the street).

At Dina Bar-El: Angela Bassett, who has worn Dina Bar-El before, was in the front row. Katharine McPhee (of American Idol non-fame), strutted out with the designer during the finale.

Ex-darling of Bebe, Mischa Barton was front and center to catch the visored, black and white parade.

At Element for Hello Kitty by Victoria Couture, Natasha Hentsridge hosted and Sinbad was sitting right next to us!
