Saks Fifth Avenue opened the doors to its new designer floor last night, and a glam crowd walked through them—from Taraji P. Henson (who left a shoot in China to have a look) and Blake Lively to Michelle Monaghan and Alexis Bledel. But the cameras really started popping for Charlize Theron, whose plans for the week include a Dior event and a seat at the U.S. Open. "I'm really just praying for my boy Nadal," she said, referring to the Spanish star's shaky, injury-hampered tournament play. "I need to get, like, an African healing doctor on him."

Later, Theron chatted with acknowledged Federer fan Anna Wintour at the mile-long dinner table that sliced through the 50,000-square-foot space. A year in the re-making, the third-floor retail area houses 49 collections in 23 alcove "shops," to which designers added their own touches: Roberto Cavalli sparkled the floor, for example—yes, we were shocked too—while Oscar de la Renta had coral stone brought in from a quarry in the Dominican Republic.

The evening provided ample opportunity to share plans for Fashion's Night Out. Fabiola Beracasa said "the most important thing" on her itinerary was witnessing Hamish Bowles sing at Juicy Couture. Doutzen Kroes, though, insisted that fashion isn't the only thing worth toasting in New York right now. "It's four hundred years of Dutch people in the States, so I'm celebrating that this weekend. Nobody knows this!" Certainly there's a way for the patriotic model to observe both? "I should wear orange."
