...show for the French fashion house Chloe drew kind reviews, and not just from Mom and Dad, who led the standing ovation when Stella came out to take her bows. They must have had a parental sixth sense. "The part that terrified me most was just walking down that runway," said Stella afterward. Critics described McCartney's lacy, feminine clothes as a "happy hodgepodge" of pieces with "gentle flourishes"--not unlike what some generous souls say about PAUL MCCARTNEY's musical compositions.

Eyewitnesses said the plane slammed into the runway as it descended and then flipped onto its back, sending flames spewing from the fuselage as it skidded across the tarmac.
