Whoopi Goldberg, Katie Holmes join star-studded front row at Christian Siriano NYFW show

NEW YORK — Whoopi Goldberg took in a slightly different "View" from front row during New York Fashion Week.

The ABC daytime co-host joined a famous cohort of attendees at Christian Siriano's fashion show Thursday, sitting front row alongside Laverne Cox, Tiffany Haddish, Danielle Brooks, Natasha Bedingfield, Katie Holmes, Adam Lambert, Julianne Hough, "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Bronwyn Newport and more.

The A-listers kicked off the first official day of NYFW, with Cox, Brooks and Bedingfield snapping selfies together before the show began. Goldberg, seated between Holmes and Bedingfield, rocked a black-and-white striped blazer and bright red boots.

Newport, who Siriano has said is one of the brand's top customers and who buys all of his fashions instead of borrowing (as is the moda operandi with many celebrities and high-profile people), donned a voluminous pale pink ruffled frock, stopping for cameras after making an appearance at the Brandon Maxwell show earlier in the day.

And in a fun moment, as the music intensified just before the show's finale, Hough, Holmes, Goldberg, Bedingfield, Brooks and Cox did a little vogue-ing to the beat.

As is often Siriano's specialty, roses filled the room from floor to ceiling, with deep red roses taking over the all-red space on the west side of Manhattan.

Supermodel Winnie Harlow opened the show in a black minidress with red draping in the skirt and off the shoulder, followed by Siriano model muse Coco Rocha, who strutted the runway thrice, including closing the show in a striking sheer red ballgown.

Rocha led a trio of models down the catwalk to close the show – mother to her flock of fashion chicks. Harlow and Rocha held hands as they walked together during the finale, before Siriano came out for his final run around the venue, bowing and blowing kisses to the front row.

The fall/winter collection leaned into high-impact reds with sexy silhouettes; structured black ensembles with unexpected materials (hello, croc effect dress!); and dresses and separates that looked like liquid coming down the runway in iridescent mid-tone blues and purples. Fabulous – and fun! – occasionwear done with Siriano's signature flair for the dramatic.

Siriano thanked "every person who wears our clothes year after year" in the show notes.
