Heidi Klum in the Infamous Polka Dot Dress

HOLLYWOOD - NOVEMBER 11: Heidi Klum arrives at the 'Black Swan' closing night gala during AFI FEST 2010 presented by Audi held at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on November 11, 2010 in Hollywood, California.

Take that Nina and Michael!

And you know what, it's adorable. Absolutely adorable. Of course, Heidi has made a few changes, including getting rid of the sleeves, which was probably the right move for Ms. Klum now that we see the two gowns side by side. Plus, by keeping her hair and makeup simple, Heidi lets those Mondo Polka Dots speak for themselves. So, what do you think gentle readers? Is Heidi in or is she out?

Project Runway: Heidi, You're Out (Part 4)

NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 09: Designer Mondo Guerra speaks on the runway at the Project Runway Spring 2011 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at The Theater at Lincoln Center on September 9, 2010 in New York City. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for IMG)Mondo Guerra on the Runway. Mondo's inspiration for his final collection is his Mexican heritage. And, we also think it's a little Carmen Miranda. And considering the most recent Prada collection, this could also be seen as on trend. What we really think, though, is that we love every single thing in his collection on some level. Even if we wouldn't actually wear it, we still like looking at it. Why? Because of the graphic prints, bright colors, sequins, handbags, day of the dead skulls. We see a lot of things we could take and wear with a pair of skinny jeans. And we still want that skull handbag. There is nothing subtle about Mondo's collection, but we are drawn to it. In other words, his style is more our style than Gretchen's is, and, therefore, we like it more than hers.


Let's go ahead and take a look at Mondo's final collection...
