Talk of the Tents

Who knew Liza Minnelli was so popular among the fashion set? (Kidding!)

The singer was the Heart Truth's final celebu-model, decked out in a sparkly Halston pant suit. Despite the star power that walked before her (Joss Stone, Cheryl Hines, Heidi Klum), Minnelli was the only "model" to get the crowd on their feet. (One guy in the third row looked like he was going to cry. Seriously.)

To top it off, we were all treated to a rendition of "New York, New York" by the famous crooner. And she sang it live! Check out the video here.

Lord knows how long it's been since all of us have actually heard a real performance. (Mr. Third Row looked like he was about to have a heart attack at this point, by the way.)

As for the other catwalkers, Camryn Manheim put on a fantastic show, hamming it up for the audience, while Klum showed off her stunning body in a gorgeous, asymmetrical Marc Jacobs frock.

Despite dropping out of the event last-minute, Leighton Meester was somehow wiped from the show's pamphlet and there was no mention of her or her absence.
