Whitney Port has transitioned from the Hollywood Hills to the New York City fashion scene seamlessly, and all eyes were on the star of MTV's "The City" at last night's TACORI event.

Port, along with Paul Tacorian of the luxe jewelry brand, hosted the TACORI 18k925 collection launch at Michael C. Fina's Fifth Avenue boutique in New York City.

The new 18k925 Collection consists of timeless and glamorous pieces with a young and modern twist. The jewelry is bold, fun, wearable and pretty affordable with prices ranging from $300 to $3,000.

Clad in an ultra-mini halter dress by Jill Stuart which highlighted her famously long legs, Port accessorized with two rings, a necklace and pear-shaped rose amethyst earrings from the new collection.

Amidst mingling, Whit took a moment to talk to us about jewelry and her guilty pleasure.
