With three back-to-back runway shows on her Sunday schedule, Sophia Bush had to get creative to make all her outfit changes at the tents. “I’ll change behind any one of these [backstage] curtains,” revealed the One Tree Hill star, who swapped her flirty skirt and jacket at Rebecca Taylor (left) for a sexy Herve Leger minidress (middle), then changed once more into a pink dress and biker jacket for the Diane von Furstenberg show (right). “If I could do sneak into the back of the tents and watch all the shows in my sweats, I would, but you can’t do that at Fashion Week!” Bush said with a smile.

Schoolgirl-cool has emerged as a hot trend at Fall 2010 Fashion Week and the defining item is the ultra-mini pleated skirt! Alexander Wang’s Wall Street-inspired looks (far left) paired with thigh-high boots and crochet tops were anything but office appropriate, and DKNY’s kicky minis (near left) were ’60s-inspired, styled with motif sweaters and newsboy caps. Try the trend now by wearing a flirty mini with over-the-knee flat boots (to keep your legs warm) and a cozy, slim-fit sweater.
