Night of the Living Leighton

Brains. Brains. Leighton Meester as the fashion undead. Seriously, what is with the pale makeup? She looks so lifeless that an otherwise cute dress looks more like the tatters of a newly born zombie.

Stop the Press: Paris Hilton Is In

We can not believe we are about to say this, but Paris Hilton looks absolutely adorable here and, dare we say, classy. We're so proud of you, Paris. Our little baby girl is all grown up.

2010 Jakarta Fashion Week

We can only assume the headpiece on this look is inspired by traditional Indonesian garb somehow, so we'll give it a pass.

Iman
Well dear hearts, now that Project Runway is over, we didn't know how on earth we were going to spend our free time. I mean, where on earth would we be able to find another show where self-proclaimed fashion designers attempted to tear each others' eyes out while established people in the industry made everyone feel like no-talent hacks week after week? Fortunately for us, Bravo has filled the void with their newest Project Runway replacement "The Fashion Show Ultimate Collection". Although this show is technically in its second season (I think I was one of the 5 people who watched the first season), it seems to have been completely retooled. Not only has Kelly Rowland been replaced by Iman (great move), but the new season feels much, much closer  to emulating the magic of Heidi, Tim, Michael and Nina than any other fashion survivor show we've seen (this doesn't mean it's anywhere near as good as PR--it just means it follows the show's format most faithfully).

1. Let's meet the players, shall we?

Iman is playing the role of Heidi Klum. She seemed a bit stiff in this inaugural episode, but we think this gal's got some serious promise. Although we're slightly afraid of the statuesque beauty after this episode (which is strange because we always kind of thought of her as a soft spoken, kind woman), she is certainly not boring. No cutesy Heidi "hellos" from this Somalian model, but we trust her fashion sense as Iman truly is a fashion icon.
