Roberts goes wigless for fashion show

United Press International - USA - "Good Morning America" star Robin Roberts, who is battling breast cancer, earned a standing ovation when she doffed her wig at a New York fashion show.

Roberts, who announced in July she was battling the disease, has been sporting the hairpiece since shaving her head prior to undergoing chemotherapy.

She left it at home Thursday, however, when she took to the catwalk and modeled a dazzling, silver-beaded Isaac Mizrahi frock, the New York Daily News reported Friday.

"Did I forget my hair again?" Roberts quipped. "I wanted to do this for everyone who is going through something, a challenge in their life."

Designer Mizrahi told her she "looked so beautiful."

"You're a big inspiration," he said.

"It feels wonderful," Roberts said. "I haven't felt this great in a long time."
