Alicia Silverstoneis singing designerChristian Siriano’s praises.

TheCluelessstar, 46, raved about the designer, 37, while chatting with PEOPLE at Siriano’s star-studdedNew York Fashion Weekrunway show on Friday. She shared that when she first started wearing theProject Runwayalum’s clothes, she found herself embracing her femininity.

“They just make me feel very much like a woman — a sophisticated but still sexy woman,” Silverstone said of Siriano’s elegant designs. “And he seems to really understand our bodies so well, and I think that’s really what he did for me.”

For his latest show at the Pierre Hotel, Siriano dressed Silverstone in a knock-out black dress featuring a sheer fabric decorated with flower appliqués in artful clusters. “He did it — it’s all him,” the actress said of her stunning look. “We had a few [dresses] to choose from but this felt … I don’t know, it was really hard to choose.”

Over the years, theSenior Yearstar has become not only a client but a close friend to Siriano, and it seems the two like to get up to some fashion fun when they travel together.

“I think the most fun stuff is when we’re on vacation,” Silverstone revealed. “He’ll just pull out some insane garment and put it on me. He’ll do my hair, he’ll start messing with my boobs. It takes him about five minutes and then you get these amazing photographs.”

She added, “He’s good at everything. He’s a great photographer, great at hair and the clothes.”
