Allowing the clothes to be the stars of the evening certainly has its merits, but we’d be lying if we didn’t admit that we’re pretty excited about the madness that will surely accompany the more inclusive New York event. In Paris, there was champagne, cotton candy and chocolate fondue depending on which store you stopped at, but New York promises to pull out all the stops: celebrities, designers and shopping specials to go along with your champagne.

Still, everyone has a different shopping personality. An Olsen twin and throngs of fans waiting for an opportunity to meet their favorite designer might be a dream shopping trip for some, and an absolute nightmare for others. With that in mind, we’ve gone through the hundreds of events on the Fashion’s Night Out website so far and narrowed them down to the top 10 events by shopping personality. Today, we take a look at the must-attend events for those who like a bit of celebrity with their shopping. In the coming days, we’ll cover events for those who prefer something more low key, downtown style, fashion, fashion and more fashion and the girl who just wants to have fun.

The Starlet

Big and flashy is how you roll. If anyone asks “who are you wearing?” you’ve got a list of famous names on the tip of your tongue. Celebrities, designers and hundreds of adoring fans? You couldn’t come up with a better shopping scenario.

“Axe is all about being a guyâ€s wingman and helping him as he navigates the mating game.” -Mark Dwyer, Unilever marketing director {New York Times}

As Gawker commenters point out, a true wingman would probably encourage less Axe, but the brand is finding success with the strategy. Once the 18-24 target crowd finds out that mating means babies, we’re not sure if that’s the game they’ll want to play, but trading off of the prospect of heightened romantic interest has made Axe products a category leader.

Shower gels and body sprays were once the exclusive domain of women, usually offered only in scents that smelled like candy, fruits and flowers. But since 1997, men’s grooming products have grown from a $2.3 billion dollar industry to one worth $4.8 billion in 2009. {New York Times} Of that $2 billion in growth, Axe is credited for a significant portion through the introduction of body sprays for men, and other products that were usually targeted only at women.

Old Spice, and their massively popular campaign with Isaiah Mustapha have upped the stakes in the shower gel category, now claiming 10% of the market, with Axe slipping from 7.7% last year to 5.9% this year.

That hasn’t phased the Axe wingman plan though: pop-up concerts with artists like T.I. and Mary J. Blige, branded club sponsorships in the Hamptons, and commercials with a ladies’ man enjoying them are all part of the Axe Music branding plan. The hope is that by providing the meet market, concert and club goers will continue to rely on the products throughout the dating game.

According to a Unilever spokesperson, “we hope they bring a girl, because this will be a place for the mating game to happen. The idea is that we want to inherently be part of a place where the mating game happens because we want to be a lifestyle brand.”

“The partnership between Carolâ€s Daughter and FFAWN is a natural fit. In the true spirit of beauty by nature, Carolâ€s Daughter is proud to support FFAWN in their efforts to empower women and instill confidence. Like FFAWN, Carolâ€s Daughter believes that true beauty comes from within. With their genuinely natural products, they strive everyday to help women look and feel their most beautiful.” {Talking Makeup}

Oprah herself is no stranger to charity work and most celebrities aren’t either. Halle Berry, Alicia Keys, Shakira, Madonna, and of course the patron saint of charitable celebs, Angelina Jolie are only some of  the celebrities who vocally support charities through performances, products and other means that make use of their fame to help those in need. We think that if you can give, you should give and these celebs and other activists around the world are responsible for making life that much better for those in need. What’s your cause?
