Project Runway Redux> Shiny Dresses and Metallic Peep-Toes

Natalie Portman Works It as the Guest Judge

for the Eco-Friendly Episode

Wednesday’s Project Runway was all about the repeat. Okay, it was really about eco-friendly design and Natalie Portman gorgeousness, but thanks to “Team Ugly Brown Fabric,” we were certainly assaulted/blessed (depending on perspective, we suppose) with much cocktail-dress repetition.

Apparently the selection of organic fabrics at MOOD is limited to a brown silk-hemp blend. Or at least models who know little of textiles seemed to think so. So three of them brought back armloads of the impossible material, giving their designers the frustrating challenge of making each look distinctive. It was a shiny brown, déjà vu runway nonetheless.

And then there were the shoes. Since we’re more than willing to look to up-and-coming designers for emerging trends, we’re paying attention. Last week’s winning look sported metallic heels. This week continued the trend. Except that in keeping with the trend of repetition, no less than three of the looks sported the same peep-toes.

We can take a hint. Metallic it is. Although we’re not sure if Natalie would approve of the leather-ness. In fact, all of Stella’s leather-talk pretty much ensured that she’ll never be besties with our favorite Hollywood vegan.

Check out the Gucci Metallic Peep Toe shoes or these Siren Red Dolce Gabbana pumps as seen on Project Runway.

Note: Just because we endorse the metallic pump does not mean we endorse the awkward-fitting sack designed by “auf’d” Wesley.

For those wanting to look like a winner, go red. Because bright is in. As is Dorothy.

Selma Blair: What Else Do You Wear for an Appearance on MTV’s TRL?

Yes, this is an adventurous get up, no doubt. But it’s kind of perfect considering the context and the MTV venue. We love the “Hellboy’s Gal Pal” style she is working this season to promote the film. Selma and Anne Hathaway are dominating the photo agency newswires as they make their way across the hemispheres to do press for their respective summer blockbusters.

Who do you think is winning so far?

Selma is wearing black and gold Gucci pumps with ankle strap and we love them. Here is the shoe with opposite color scheme.
