Today we got a glimpse of the taping of the new season (Season 9) of Project Runway in a outdoor runway show. It looks to be the taping of the premiere episode in which an unprecedented 20 contestants are vying for the coveted title of America's Next Top Fashion Designer and the $100,000 prize. What a brilliant way to reveal to everyone the 20 contestants selected to participate in this new season.

The taping took place in New York's Battery Park...

La Heidi: Miss Heidi, looked every bit of a Femme Fatale DIVA...in a black one-shoulder princess-seamed Alexander Wang dress, Wolford tights, Jimmy Choo peep-toe pumps and a Barneys NY Belt. LOVING the entire look of "Dominatrix Couture" and I especially love the slicked-back gelled "Robert Palmer Girl" hair. WUNDERBAR!!!

Kim Kardashian was the Guest Celebrity Judge and she was all serious in a black very fitted (of course!) mini dress with flange shoulders (look it up kiddies!) and white side panels; she accessorized with hoop earrings (of course, Part Two). And naturally, her hair and make-up are FLAWLESS...

Nina Garcia was wearing...

Giambatista Valli Fall 2011. Well, of course she is!!!! Leave it to Miss Nina to give it to them!!! She added her own "stamp" on it by adding a skinny belt and cinched in it--LOVE IT!

The Scene at Battery Park, on the "set" of the new season of Project Runway!!

And what would a blog post on Project Runway be without...

TIM GUNN!!! Looking so dapper in his blue window pane plaid suit, gingham tie and pattern pocket square. Tim is really stepping up the style quotient already this season. Love the "hints" of color. Keep it up!!
And...do I spot contestants behind him?! I wonder...

And as always Blogging Project Runway has the ultimate Field Report with tons of photos!

Red Carpet Report: Weekly Round-Up Part 2--Heidi Klum, Naomie Harris, Molly Sims, Krysten Ritter

Plunging Necklines, Valentino Shorts, and ONE Dress for Two Red Carpet Events...

Heidi Klum: My dear friend, Supermodel and SuperMommy Heidi Klum attended the 2nd Annual amfAR Inspiration Gala yesterday at the Museum of Modern Art New York City, wearing a baby blue halter gown with plunging neckline and high side-slit from one of my favorite Project Runway judges (he he!), Michael Kors. GA-GA-Gorgeous! Love the slicked back hair, the tan, the strappy heels! She is soooo going to meet friends for dinner ON HER Yacht off the Amalfi Coast wearing this look! Rumour has it that Heidi is in town to begin filming the new season of Project Runway--Season 9 (yes, kids, look out for some covered vans outside of Parsons in the next coming weeks!!!) as well as the new All Stars season (killing two Project Runway Birds with one fashionable stone!!).

Naomie Harris: English Actress Naomie Harris attended the 2011 Keep A Child Alive Black Ball wearing Valentino Spring 2011. At first I was like "She looks fairly familiar but...Who Is She?" and then I Googled her and Voila: "Pirates of The Caribbean" (oh yeah!!! Love her!) AND "28 Days Later". Well, I knew she was somebody, especially since the press house of Valentino doesn't just lend out dresses to anybody! I love this look on her--the silk organza blouse, the high-neck, those embroidered lace high-waisted shorts...all finished off perfectly with a simple black clutch and STOMPING black heels.

Molly Sims: Model/actress Molly Sims stepped out onto the 3rd Annual Bent On Learning Benefit Red Carpet wearing this demure and oh-so-sweet strapless dress in dusty rose featuring some nice side pleating and folding.

Krysten Ritter: "She's Out Of My League" and "Confessions of a Shopaholic" actress and former model, Kristen Ritter (no relation to the late actor John Ritter) was at the grand opening of Dream Downtown, PH-D Rooftop Lounge and Marble Lane restaurant wearing a silver and blush/nude tiered dress from Alice + Olivia. After attending the 3rd Annual Bent On Learning Benefit (sponsored by Alice + Olivia) Krysten dashed over to Dream Downtown to get her "party on". Two Red Carpet events, One Dress. No outfit changes. Good Girl.
