'Sexy' Tucci talks the walk at Lepore show

Actor Stanley Tucci was a good sport at Nanette Lepore's show. He happily commented on the collection: "I thought it was fantastic, and I love that chartreuse color."

He graciously mixed it up with fans, stopping to pose for a photo. And he even answered our query. Has he heard himself referred to as a sex symbol? "Ahhhh, yeah, I've heard that a few times." And how does he feel about that? "I think it's pretty great."

FOOTBALL GEAR FOR WOMEN. Unlikely front row at Marc Badgley and James Mischka's show -- a posse of women wearing feminized Jets jerseys. Huh?

The group, led by Suzanne Johnson -- Johnson as in wife of Woody Johnson, owner of the team -- were doing a little guerrilla marketing for a new line of football clothes for women launching soon. "Women like football," they said in unison.

Uh, yeah, so what are you doing here? "We love Marc and James," they said in unison. And, confided Suzanne, "They're the only clothes my husband lets me buy. He likes them too."
