It was a busy day for actress Claire Danes.


In the morning the 29-year-old showed off her athletic figure in a tight blue vest top and shorts as she headed to a Manhattan gym.

But just hours later the Hollywood star swapped her trainers for high heels to take in the season's new styles at a glamorous fashion show.

Scrubbed up: Claire makes the transformation from sweaty fitness fan to groomed fashionista in New York today

The transformation was completed with a groomed hair style to replace the ponytail she had sported earlier and a silver clutch to take the place of her battered old gym bag.

Looking elegant in a soft pink and white dress, the actress, who was catapulted to stardom in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet, looked every inch the New York fashionista.

Friends joining her in the front row of the Zac Posen show included Will Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
