Fashion Rocks': 11 Things Seen and Heard

Fashion Rocks': 11 Things Seen and Heard
nstage and onscreen, Fashion Rocks had its high notes (and flat moments), but the Tuesday night telecast intersecting sound and style had more going on behind the scenes, including reminders to cheer, a slew of giveaways and a performance that started to clear out the Barclays Center audience.

Pret-a-Reporter recounts the 11 things seen and heard inside the arena and on the red carpet of the CBS event:

1.  When the live broadcast begins at 9 p.m. ET, the seated audience — composed of both devout fashion believers in notable heels, trendy hairstyle and labeled pieces, and music fans in jeans and clubwear — was only about 80-percent filled. Still, they gave 100 percent of their shouts for show opener Usher. After his performance, pictures of Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj and Pitbull triggered the biggest cheers during the opening credits.

2.  The first performer to actually evoke a palpable energy from the live audience is Iglesias, who sang "Bailando" with Sean Paul and Gente de Zona, and was introduced by Tommy Hilfiger and the most popular model of the evening, Naomi Campbell. They hit the stage over half an hour into the event — maybe the beers started kicking in?

3.  Hunger Games actress Willow Shields, who arrived in a Kate Spade floral ensemble, got really enthusiastic when we asked her about the one song that gets her dancing when no one's watching. "I would dance to any song if nobody was watching," she squealed. "Right now, I have "Riptide" by Vance Joy. I've been listening to it for a while and now it's becoming really popular, which I'm excited about." It's far from a booty-shaking type-of-beat, but we'll take it.

4.  After taking photos on the carpet, J. Lo was rushed into the venue — but not before giving a royal wave to fans and reporters, who were longing to have a few seconds with before the show started. Still, she waved at us and we felt special for, like, a second. Sexy Classy Dress On Cheap Cheap Wholesale Leggings Plus Size Babydoll Nightwear
