Michael Michele is a quick-change artist.

“I JUST left work, did a quick change and raced over here,” said the actress, sitting front row at Tuesday’s Herve Leger by Max Azria runway show.

Michele, an “ER” alum now on “Gossip Girl,” had been at work at Silvercup Studios in Queens since 5:30 that morning. But she was determined to make it to Lincoln Center.

“I’d never worn his designs till I wore one of his skirts on the show,” she explained. “I was in it for 16 hours — I mean, that’s a real test — and it was really comfortable. When I started getting calls about attending Fashion Week, I said, ‘I’m going to THAT show.’ ”
