On a mission: Ecclestone made sure she looked her best for attending an event at New York Fashion Week

Ecclestone was determined to make sure she looked her best for New York Fashion week, but at one point it looked like all her work was in vain after it started raining.

She posted on her Twitter page: 'On way to Jill Stuart show this rain is not ideal for the hair. #newyorkfashionweek.'
However, her appearance was saved after someone held a large umbrella over her head to make sure her hair didn't look out of place for the show.
Damages actress Rose Byrne and The Real Housewives of New York City star Kelly Bensimon attended fashion designer Stuart's show, as did model Cory Kennedy and rapper Theophilus London.
Despite the potential fashion disaster, she smiled at photographers during her shopping visit.

And weather aside, she seems to be enjoying her time in New York.

And the brunette bombshell is also auctioning off her dresses for the charity, setting up a website entitled www.tamaragivesback - which gives people the chance to to bid on some of her glamorous gowns she has worn on the red carpet in the past.
