When we think of celebrities that have close personal relationships with fashion designers, we wouldn’t put Victoria Justice at the top of our list. But, with very little gusto, Victoria and vibrant designer Betsey Johnson have fostered a work relationship that eventually blossomed into a friendship.

Victoria honored Betsey at the Accessories Council Excellence (ACE) Awards in New York.
