Every year animal loving celebrities hit the Celebrity Catwalk to raise awareness and funds for the National Animal Rescue. Last night’s event featured designs from Heather Mill’s Be@One line, Lane Bryant, Roca Wear and Puma. R&B singer Mya and Heather Mills were also being honored with an Animal Activism Award. It was night of fashion and charity in one unforgettable evening. We caught up with some of the celebrities on the red carpet at the Highlands Night Club and asked them what kind of animal they would be and why?
Grammy Award-winning singer Mya on what kind of animal she would be: ” Well, I am learning about cats you know. I’d probably be a feline. The move slowly but carefully, cautiously. They go after exactly what they want. Not quiet readable all the time either”. Mya says she has three dogs and 2 kittens that get along very well. The talented singer-songwriter wore a Dahlia dress, BCBG heels and Michelle Roy jewelry.
With a plane to catch, Mya had to be given her award before the show started. On how it feels to be honored: ” It feels wonderful, you know, anytime that you are acknowledged for something you just love to do. I really appreciate that. I have five animals of my own. I am very active in the animal community and saving lives with North Shore League of America and I am looking forward to doing more work in the preservation of their lives. They run my life, they make me happy, keep me sane
and balanced so I owe it to them.”
Philanthropist Heather Mills was of course there to accept her award for all her animal work. She wore a black sequined top and purple pencil skirt, red heels and the Cartier Ballon Bleu diamond studded watch. Her line Be@one was featured in the fashion show.
The lovely host Bridget Marquardt was striking in a red sheath dress and she’s so much skinner in person!
Stephanie Pratt brought her usual cute stylish self to the event in a Top shop dress, Miu Miu sandals, Lia Sophia and a bracelet she got from a boutique in New York called Pretty Girl. Pratt doesn’t rely on a stylist to make her look this good, so give yourself a pat on the back!
Stephanie Pratt wants to be a horse! “There were always my favorite animal. I never played with dolls actually, which is so funny. I only play with horses, animals and legos.” On being an animal lover: ” Huge, huge. The only events that I have been into recently are all for animals.” She says she’s always tired at night but if it’s about animals, she will there “anywhere, anytime.”
Everybody got a little excited when Shannon Elizabeth arrived. She said she didn’t wear anything exciting in her Guess jeans, striped top and knee high boots but the guys were actually cheering.
Shannon Elizabeth is passionate about animals, ” I have an animal rescue myself. I am all about the animals.” Elizabeth wants to be a dog and thinks “dogs are great.” “I want a dog that lives with me because I’ll spoil him to death. ”
Karina Smirnoff was probably the last one to arrive on the red carpet but she turned heads in this very interesting Nika Formals floor length gown.

On being a lover of animals: “I am very much so. Actually, I do a lot of work very closely with Boxers Rescue L.A. I have donated time and money to countless animal charities. It’s a passion of mine.” She has a boxer bull mastiff named Roxie and Cooper and a cat named Minnie. But she would love to be an angelfish, “I love the water. So peaceful.”
She wears a dress given to her by her sister which looks great on her with Baker pumps.

High School Musical KayCee Stroh also loves the animals: “I have a brand new puppy and she’s my everything so I can’t imagine anyone, anything choosing to hurt these great animals. It just heartbreaking to me. I grew up with two amazing dogs and cats. I was born and raised in Utah so I am a country girl. I had plenty of animals in my home.” She has a six month old beagle named Piper. KayCee had a tough time deciding what animal she should be: “I think a bird would be a lot of fun because I would like to fly, feel the the wind in my hair, be able to visit my family quickly but I don’t know, a tough second would be a horse.” She wears a Torrid dress and pinstriped pumps from Steve Madden which she described as “old fashioned 50’s girl” She didn’t work with a stylist.

Being born under the sign of Leo, Angell Conwell naturally but wants to be a lion “because she likes all the qualities of a lion”. But she loves her pitbull named Xena which she describes as funny and has a lot of attitude. Angell has to speak with a baritone voice for Xena to listen. Now that is one fierce dog! Her purple number is by Baby Phat and the shoes are Badgley Mishka.

Florist to the stars Kevin Lee was such a delight to talk to. On what animal he would want to be: ” A puppy because I am a Jewish Princess”. He looked fab in an Armani beaded top, Prada jacket, Oscar de la Renta shoes, Gucci eye wear with jeans and belt by Hermes. Watch out for the Emmy’s because he will be doing the floral arrangements!
