Celebrity models got haute for heart disease as part of New York Fashion Week Thursday night.

Entertainers Laura Bell Bundy and Rosie O’Donnell kicked off the Go Red For Women Red Dress Collection at Lincoln Center. The event featured more than 20 celebrity walkers in couture red dresses from some of the industry’s elite designers.

The models who turned the runway red included:

Alexa Ray Joel in Tamara Mellon; Barbara Eden (I Dream of Jeannie) in Carmen Marc Valvo; Bethany Mota (social media star/model) in Badgley Mischka; Catt Sadler (E! News) in Oscar de le Renta; Ciara (musician) in Zuhair Murad; Dascha Polanco (Orange Is The New Black) in Michael Costello; Hoda Kotb in Romona Keveza; Jennette McCurdy (Nickelodeon’s iCarly) in Nicole Miller; Kristin Cavallari (The Hills) in Monique Lhuillier; Laverne Cox (Orange Is The New Black) in Donna Karan; and Star Jones in B. Michael.

The stars weren’t just walking to show that they can rock the red. They were doing it to spread awareness that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women and claims more lives than all forms of cancer combined. The Red Dress is the uniting symbol in the fight against heart disease in women.

This year’s collection came to life through a partnership between the American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and presenting sponsor Macy’s, which has raised more than $50 million for Go Red For Women since 2004.
