(September 12, 2006) — It doesn’t matter whether the stars are showing up to New York’s annual Fashion Week to see the clothes or just be seen themselves, because, either way they are driving the photographers crazy.

Paris Hilton did her part, arriving at the Luca Luca show while pretending to talk on her cell phone in order to avoid having to speak to the press. Nicky Hilton, however, wasn’t as interview shy. "It’s pretty insane," she said, "but thank god I’m staying right across the street...so all I have to do is get in my elevator and walk ten steps and I am here."

Nicky also came to Paris’ defense about her recent D.U.I. arrest, saying, "I was with her, and I know she wasn’t heavily intoxicated, cause I was there, so it was kind of a bummer cause I think they were trying to make an example of her."

Paris and Nicky were heavily guarded at Max Azria, their second show of the day. Other guests, like Eva Mendez and Sarah Michelle Gellar, were more accessible. Sarah remarked, "He [Max] just makes me feel beautiful. I love the fit of his clothing. I love the style. I love the material that he uses."

The largest celebrity turnout of the day was for the Marc Jacobs show. Winona Ryder made a rare public appearance, joining Kate Bosworth, Lil Kim, Kanye West, a smiling Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, and Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham, who was making her first fashion week appearance.

Access also bumped into tennis star Maria Sharapova, who wore an Audrey Hepburn inspired outfit last weekend in the US Open women’s finals - which earned her the title of "Access Style Star of the Week" along with her championship. "I loved it and I’m so glad I got to wear it, and especially win in it," She told us, " That’s an honor! Thank you."
