Grammy Award Winning Singer and the event’s main performer, Macy Gray stopped by for a “style chat” and described her style as “fabulous hippie”.
Macy’s Passport Presents Glamorama took over downtown L.A and brought out VIPs and celebrities for a good cause. Just as in years past, Macy’s was able to continue their commitment to being a leading supporter of AIDS beneficiaries by donating nearly $1million dollars in support of APLA and Project Angel Food. The event was a well thought out combination of fashion, fantasy, music and magic. “So you think you can dance” choreographer Brian Freidman seamlessly wove intricate and elaborate dance routines into the show’s presentation.

Choreographer, Brian Friedman promised variety and delivered with a smooth integration of contemporary, hip-hop, jazz, and modern choreography for the event’s dance sets.
Macy Gray exhibited her unique, raspy voice and had the crowd singing along and Singer / Song-Writer Eric Hutchinson was as charming as they come.
Earlier, The red carpet was a bustling scene of both long time supporters of the event, as well as some fresh faces. Amongst the stars were Serena Williams, Brandy, Eric McCormack, LaToya Jackson, Sara Rue, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Glee’s Mark Salling, 90210 star Michael Steger and many more.
The event’s main attraction was of course the fashion show. Models stomped the runway, showcasing the latest in tomorrow’s fashions by Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss, Material Girl Collection, Chris March, Calvin Klein, Tracy Reese, Just Cavalli, INC, 2(x)ist, Felina/Jezebel and Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Sara Rue stopped by to chat about her evolving style which includes paying closer attention to details and investing in accessories.

Up next for Sara is a show she’s hosting for the CW which will start airing in January and a movie set and filmed in downtown L.A currently titled “Dorfman”.

America’s Next Top Model Season 14 runner-up Raina Hein who was charged with wearing the Office Max (sponsor of Macy’s Glamorama) dress also stopped by to chat about her style, which she admits has gone from super casual to chic.

Model, Raina mentioned that her dream clients include Balenciaga, Michael Kors and Gucci. When it comes to Fall fashion, she can’t wait to show off some chic platform boots.

So you think you can dance choreographer Brian Friedman willingly admits that although he’s been on several “worst dressed” lists, he’s very comfortable with his “eclectic, boundless and risky” style.

Avid APLA Supporter, La Toya Jackson who took up the cause after the death of her brother Michael (who aslo supported the organization), kicked off the show.
