Maria Menounos - actress,
Extra host, producer, and now, author - was the VIP guest at The Front Row at Bethesda Row fashion event last night on Bethesda Lane. Menounos greeted fans while signing copies of her new book,
The Everygirl's Guide to Diet and Fitness. Then she stayed around for a fashion show, under a tent due to the weather this year.
Models worked the runway, where casual apparel dominated the show. Pieces were supposed to be those customers will find this year at the boutiques of Bethesda Row. Labels showcased included future Bethesda Row tenant Calypso St. Barth. Among the models was "K Street"
Kate Michael, known first as Miss DC 2006, but also a
publisher and television personality.
The event continues this morning with an Equinox fitness event on Bethesda Lane, and at boutiques and restaurants around the Row through this evening.
