New York Fashion Week kicked off with a celebrity bang during the weekend with the 7th annual Red Dress fashion event for The Heart Truth.

Stars such as Katie Couric, Tori Spelling, Patricia Arquette, Brittany Snow, Amanda Bynes, Hilary Duff, Jennie Garth, and Vivica Fox all strutted their stuff on the catwalk at the show in fashions created by America’s top designers for women’s heart health.

The Heart Truth is an awareness campaign created by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health. It is designed to warn women about their number one health risk, heart disease, and the need to take action against its risk factors. The organization created and introduced the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness in 2002 to deliver an urgent wakeup call to American women.

For people who missed the show, Clothesoffourback.org is currently running an auction of some of the dresses worn at the show – and selections from past shows – to raise money for The Heart Truth to further efforts related to women’s heart health awareness and research.

Lucky bidders can bid on dresses that graced Daisy Fuentes, Jane Kaczmarek, Kelly Ripa, Lynda Carter, Rachael Ray, Vanessa Willaims.

The auction runs until February 27.
