The stars of "The Face" are seriously dedicated to their new show—and to fashion. Even though the big premiere was on Tuesday (still tired!), Nigel, Coco, Karolina and Naomi still made an effort to hit New York Fashion Week. They were spotted front row, backstage, on the runway and even riding a tricked out bus (more on that in a bit). One coach even brought her newbie team member to a show. So to close out NYFW and say "game on" to London, Paris and Milan, let's check out the "The Face" Stars' Top NYFW Moments.

posted Tuesday, February 12, 2013

Turns out Nigel running into Bravo's Andy Cohen on "The Face" premiere party yellow carpet was a happy foreshadowing to his appearance on "Watch What Happens Live" last night. Nigel was the guest, along with "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" hot mess Taylor Armstrong. Nigel had his moment when Andy asked about "The Face" host's infamous firing off "America's Next Top Model" by Tyra Banks. You have to watch to hear the full awesomeness, but here's a teaser quote: "Watch out, Tyra!" Remember to watch "The Face" season premiere, tonight, Tue. Feb. 12 at 9/8c. There's a new host in town. SNAP.

Ooh, a really good best (and first!) Fashion Week story here. Team Naomi member Sandra Woodley's first ever experience on the runway was walking in New York-based designer Rubin Singer's show. Who's Rubin Singer you may ask? Well, most people would have asked that same question, too, until Beyoncé caused a power outage at the Superbowl in the cut-out leather onesie that he designed. Nice going, Sandra! Singer also designed the outfits for Mrs. Carter's back-up dancers and former Destiny's Child members Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland—the latter whos Sandra met after the show. Let her tell you herself.

You've seen "The Fight to Make the Final 12" elimination special (and if you haven't for fashion's sake, watch it here) and now it's time to say goodbye to the dozen who won't be moving into the model loft. "The Face" coach Coco Rocha has some encouraging words for the girls on their way out: "Taking the contestants from 24 to 12 was a very harsh and quick process. I'm sure as the weeks go on I'll learn more about the 12 that we dismissed and I bet some of them would have been amazing contenders."

Does Nigel Barker Have Tyra Banks' Blessing?

by Fawnia Soo Hoo | @fawnianewyork

posted Monday, January 07, 2013

If anyone is wondering if Nigel Barker is "nervous" about how his last reality show boss Tyra Banks will feel about his new hosting gig, the answer is no, as he told OK Magazine. Why should he be? After all, he's already told us, "ANTM is more of a caricature of the business while "The Face" is about the real world of modeling." Snap. But the big question is: Does he have Tyra's blessing?
