Back on February 13, 2009, Amanda Bynes stepped onto the runway at the Heart Truth Red Dress Collection show in New York City, and the room held its breath. The event, part of Fashion Week, aimed to raise awareness for women’s heart health—a cause that’s been close to the fashion industry’s heart since the campaign’s launch in 2002. Bynes, then 22 and fresh off her Hairspray success, wore a bold red gown by Marchesa. The dress, with its cascading ruffles and cinched waist, echoed the dramatic femininity of 1950s Hollywood—think Grace Kelly with a modern twist.
