If you like what Carmen Electra's wearing on the red carpet, click on the above image to see what she wore on the catwalk.
Last night General Motors held its first Detroit-based GM Style Event in a huge tent next to the Renaissance Center. Along with us, a group of assorted celebrities were on hand doing a runway fashion show and sharing the catwalk with various GM concepts and cars. Following an award show-style red carpet parade where all the "glitterati" were spaced to ensure they each got sufficient time in front of the lenses, we moved inside for the main event.
Carmen Electra opened the show accompanying last year's Camaro Coupe Concept. The end of the runway fortunately featured a turntable that helped avoid any embarrassing three-point turn incidents. Superstar surfer Laird Hamilton (shown right) came out at one point and danced with his young daughter alongside the Hummer H3 open-top, which brought the show back down to earth from its tinsel town high. The finale featured the world debut of the new Camaro Convertible Concept, of which a big ol' gallery of live shots you can view here, along with the entire group of cars that were featured in the show. The GM press release sporting the full list of cars on hand and the stars paid to show up can be found after the jump.
