“It’s anybody’s game,” said Dmitry Sholokhov at the beginning of the “Project Runway All Stars” season finale. He had won the show twice before and was going for an unprecedented three-peat, but this season of “All Stars” featured nothing but past champions, so he was up against fellow Us winners Michelle Lesniak and Irina Shabayeva as well as Canadian “Runway” victor Evan Biddell. Who was named the “Runway” world champion at the end of the night?

After narrowly escaping elimination last week, Project Runway All Stars‘ final four designers — Evan Biddell, Irina Shabayeva, Michelle Lesniak and Dmitry Sholokhov — faced off Wednesday for the newly minted titled of “World Champion.”
This time around, the designers were given more freedom than ever, challenged with creating a six-look collection in four days with a budget of $3,000. “The specific theme can be whatever you want,” host Alyssa Milano revealed, which seemed to please everyone. Let’s see how this all panned out…

“They got it wrong,” commented our reader Hidden Angel after the “Project Runway All Stars” judges eliminated Anthony Ryan Auld last week in “Nina Says Don’t Cry Over Spilt Silk.” Angel thought Michelle Lesniak should have been sent home instead for the “scrapped together thing” she sent down the runway, and most “Runway” fans agree judging from the results of our poll. Scroll down to see those complete results.
Nina Garcia, the editor-in-chief of Elle magazine and a longtime judge on the original “Project Runway” series, guested on “All Stars” to give the final five designers a luxurious challenge: they had to design a formal silk gown worthy of a royal ball. Auld and Lesniak both struggled with that task since neither of them is accustomed to making ball gowns. Auld ended up with a caftan dress with feather details, while Lesniak made a kaleidoscopic dress in a patchwork of bright colors.

“Project Runway All Stars” season seven is almost over, and the competition has turned out to be pretty lopsided. The season started with 14 designers, 7 who were past champs on the American “Runway” or “All Stars” series and 7 who won previous seasons of the show’s international spin-offs. But after 10 weeks there are 5 designers left, and only one of them is from abroad: Evan Biddell from Canada. Can he break the foreign curse and go all the way? We think he might be in trouble.
As of this writing Biddell is on top of our elimination predictions with 9/4 odds of being sent home tonight. That’s based on the combined forecasts of Gold Derby users who have entered their picks here in our predictions center. But it would be a precipitous fall for Biddell, who for most of the season has been solid as a rock and cool as a cucumber.

Christina Exie was surprised that she was eliminated from “Project Runway All Stars” in the “Climate Quick Change” challenge, and so were a lot of our users. Our predictions pointed to Dmitry Sholokhov as the designer most likely to be sent home, but he actually ended up with one of the top three scores even though his look sharply divided the judging panel. When we asked our readers what they thought of the judges’ decision, though, the vast majority thought the wrong designer was sent home.
The “Climate” challenge was to design a look that could transition from one weather condition to another. Exie had to create a look for the beach that would go from sun to high winds, so she went with a black bathing suit worn under a caftan that could be tied around the waist.

Well I didn’t see that coming. This season of “Project Runway All Stars” has been a dizzying merry-go-round of fashion fabulousness and faux pas, with designers going from high scores to low scores and back again, but I didn’t expect the judges to oust a contestant the week after she won her second design challenge. That’s what happened to Christina Exie in episode 10, “Climate Quick Change.” Were you as surprised as I was? And did you agree with that result? Scroll down to vote in our poll at the bottom of this post.

Mother Nature made an unofficial guest appearance on Wednesday’s Project Runway All Stars, luring the half-dozen remaining designers into a battle against the elements.
This week’s climate change-themed episode challenged the season’s top six contestants to “design transformational resort wear, a look that transitions from one type of weather condition to another all in the same resort.”
Let’s start with the winner: The judges were “crazy” about Michelle Lesniak’s windy-to-rainy jumpsuit, whose overlay skirt snaps off and converts into a raincoat. Not only did the panel praise Michelle for her inventiveness, but it commended her “genius” fabric blending.

“Project Runway All Stars” season seven is heating up — literally. In episode 10 of the fashion competition, “Climate Quick Change,” the remaining designers had to create convertible resort-wear that could transition from one climate to another, with Tony-winning actress Cynthia Erivo and fashion designer Reem Acra on hand as guest judges. So who had the hottest looks, and who was left out in the cold? Find out below in our live blog with all the minute-by-minute updates as they happen.

“Project Runway All Stars” is down to its top six contestants, but after eight weeks of competition there is only one who has yet to receive a single low score from the judges: Evan Biddell. But most of the Gold Derby users who have been making their predictions from week to week still don’t think he’s the one to beat. As of this writing he ranks fourth in our forecasts with 8/1 odds while Irina Shabayeva remains in front-runner position. Are we underestimating him?
The show has narrowed down the competition to the very best, which is saying something because when the season started all 14 contestants had won a previous edition of “Runway,” either here or abroad. But fashion is fickle, so almost all of the other designers have stumbled at least once. Shabayeva has gotten three low scores, more than any other contestant left in the competition — though...

After Dmitry Sholokhov won the first design challenge on “Project Runway All Stars” season seven he quickly became our front-runner to win the whole competition, and for good reason. Sholokhov has never lost. He previously won season 10 of the main “Runway” series and then season 4 of “All Stars.” Even low scores are almost unheard of for the dominant designer. But is he at risk of being eliminated from “Runway” for the first time ever? Our users think so.
Based on the combined predictions of our users as of this writing, Sholokhov is the likeliest to be eliminated from episode 10 tonight with leading odds of 27/10. But how could that be if he has historically been so rock-solid? Well, he’s coming off what was arguably his worst week in “Runway” history. In “All-Inclusive,” his gender-neutral trench coat in metallic silver looked to the judges like a Martian costume, and he landed in the bottom two,...

The remaining six designers were thrown for a bit of a loop on Wednesday’s episode of Project Runway All Stars, which required them to think a little differently about gender and fashion.
“Social awareness about gender has finally become an open conversation,” host Alyssa Milano told the contestants, each of whom would have to “design gender-neutral high-fashion street wear” for a model who either identifies as male, female or non-binary. Though the designers were given their models’ measurements, they wouldn’t actually get to meet them until it was time for the first runway fitting.

“Project Runway” focuses predominantly on women’s fashion, but episode nine of “All Stars” season seven flipped the script.

The field has been cut in half on “Project Runway All Stars” this season, and the judges seem to have very carefully curated their top seven. Every single one of them has won at least one design challenge over the last eight weeks, while the seven eliminated contestants received just two high scores from the judges — combined. But they can’t so easily separate the best from the rest anymore. Someone who has won a design challenge is going home tonight, so who will it be?

Cynthia Hayashi just couldn’t get it together on “Project Runway All Stars.” A winner of the Brazilian version of the fashion series, she never distinguished herself to the judges in this country. She got a low score in the season premiere. And then she narrowly escaped elimination in “Of Corsets Fashion.” The panelists liked her well enough to advance her safely through the competition every other week, but she never once got a high score, so when she disappointed them again in “Penneys from Heaven,” it was clearly the last straw.

You know the right designer was sent home when their only defense is: “I really don’t think that my outfit today was that bad.” (Oh, but it was. It really was.)
Wednesday’s episode of Project Runway All Stars sent the season’s remaining eight designers to Jc Penney to “shop for three different daytime separates and transform them into one sensational nighttime look.” Unfortunately, two of those elements — specifically “sensational” and “nighttime” — were missing from Cynthia Hayashi‘s final presentation.

Which designers achieved the best day-to-night transformations in “Penneys from Heaven,” and whose looks belonged in the bargain bin? Find out below in our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments as they happen.
Every single “All Stars” contestant this season is a past “Runway” champion. The playing field is so level that six out of the eight remaining designers won a design challenge in the first seven episodes. The only contestant who won twice up to this point was Anthony Ryan Auld, who had the best graduation look in “Top of the Class” and then prevailed again last week in “Pure Imagination.” Dmitry Sholokhov, Irina Shabayeva, Christina Exie, Michelle Lesniak and Sean Kelly also won challenges.

“What we’ll see will defy explanation.” Those lyrics from “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” couldn’t have been more fitting on “Project Runway All Stars.” In episode seven, “Pure Imagination,” the designers embarked on this season’s avant garde challenge. So who got the judges’ golden ticket, and who was booted from this factory tour? Scroll down for our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments as they happen.
The avant garde challenge has always been an opportunity for designers to let their freak flags fly, but they had better fly high, especially this season. In the first six weeks of the competition the judges saw some wild, unflattering designs, but they have often been harder on contestants who created bland, uninspired looks (like Juli Grbac) than those who took big swings and missed (like three-time low-scorer Django Steenbakker). And when it comes to avant garde fashion, there’s nothing worse than boring.

“Project Runway” has always been an international affair, with contestants originating from all over the world. But this seventh and final Lifetime season of “Project Runway All Stars” is an especially global affair. Half of the contestants are past winners from the show’s foreign spin-offs. But those foreign contenders have been dropping like flies. Can the remaining contestants rebound, or will they quickly be deported?
There have been four eliminations over the first five weeks of the competition, and three of them have been international designers: Sunny Fong (Canada) in “Top of the Class,” Jasper Garvida (UK) in “Of Corsets Fashion” and Juli Grbac (Australia) in “On the Prowl.” The one American sent home thus far was actually a big surprise: Seth Aaron Henderson, who had won not one but two past seasons of “Runway.”

The “Project Runway All Stars” contestants this season designed looks inspired by national heritage, corsets and even airplane parts, but in episode five the show went to the dogs — or maybe the zebras, the elephants, or the gorillas. In “On the Prowl,” the remaining 11 competitors took their inspiration from zoo animals. So who won the challenge, and who went on the endangered species list? Scroll down for our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments as they happen.
The international contestants got off to a slow start in this all-champions edition that pits winners of the American “Runway” against winners of the show’s foreign spin-offs. In the first four weeks of competition, three challenges were won by American champs: Dmitri Sholokhov in “All Stars Goes Global,” Anthony Ryan Auld in “Top of the Class” and Irina Shabayeva in “Buckle Up!” And two of the first three eliminations were contestants from abroad.

Irina Shabayeva got a lot of flak in week two of “Project Runway All Stars” when she created a graduation party look fit for a “hooker fairy tale,” but I think she has more than made up for that. “Top of the Class” was her only low score this season so far, while her other three design challenges resulted in high scores, including one win. Her latest high score came in “Of Corsets Fashion,” but she couldn’t quite achieve a second straight victory. She finished second to Christina Exie. Did you agree with that outcome? Scroll down to vote in our poll.
In this world-champions edition of “All Stars,” Exie is now the first international designer to notch a challenge win. She previously won the Australian edition of “Runway,” and this week she wowed the panel with her intricate shaping and latticework. But I for one preferred Shabayeva’s “fashion armadillo.

Project Runway All Stars‘ remaining 12 designers were so taken aback by this week’s challenge, they were literally twitching by the time Alyssa Milano was done explaining the task at hand. The challenge, much to (almost) everyone’s dismay, was to “celebrate a woman’s figure by incorporating a corset into a high-fashion look.” (Last week’s unconventional materials challenge suddenly sounds like a dream.)
Highlights from the workroom included Michelle Lesniak slicing her finger open; Jasper Garvida gluing lace onto his corset, sending his fellow designers into a tizzy (“It’s bulls–t!”); and Evan Biddell telling Dmitry Sholokhov...

It’s corsets, of course! One week after the “Project Runway All Stars” season seven contestants tackled their unconventional materials challenge in “Buckle Up!” they got another unconventional challenge of sorts. In “Of Corsets Fashion” the 12 remaining designers turned underwear into outwear by making runway looks out of corsets. Who cinched up a win, and who wore out their welcome? Scroll down for our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments as they happen.
Last week’s “Buckle Up” challenge ended in the surprising elimination of Seth Aaron Henderson in 13th place. Every “All Stars” contestant this season is a past winner, but Henderson was undefeated, winning both of the seasons he previously competed in. The fact that he could be ejected so soon means no one is safe in this competition.

It’s tough to predict eliminations this early on “Project Runway All Stars.” Every contestant this season is a past champion, and for every design challenge the slate is wiped clean, so one week’s low scorer could be next week’s challenge winner. And one week’s high scorer could be next week’s eliminated contestant. In fact, that’s exactly what has happened for the last two weeks of the competition. But this week the consensus of Gold Derby users who have entered their forecasts in our predictions center is that Cynthia Hayashi is in trouble. Do you agree?
Hayashi won season one of Brazil’s version of “Project Runway,” called “Projeto Fashion.” But she had a low score right out of the gate in the season premiere of “All Stars” — not a great first impression. However, she was safe in weeks two and three, so for the...

Sunny Fong may not have had the worst design on “Project Runway All Stars” for the “Top of the Class” challenge, but the judges sent him home anyway for disregarding the assignment. Our readers aren’t sure that was the right call, though. Many of them thought Irina Shabayeva should have been sent packing. Scroll down for our complete poll results at the bottom of this post.
The challenge was for the contestants to design a look for a high-class graduation party using two colors. Fong was given yellow and blue, but the dress he made was entirely yellow, and his only nod to blue was a brooch lazily pinned to the back. I for one thought the judges were right to eliminate him, and so did 42% of our respondents. If he had done the bare minimum and added a blue belt or sash or hem — anything! — he would have been safe.

“Project Runway All Stars” started its seventh and final season on Lifetime last week, and it was a rare reality competition episode that ended with more contestants than it started with. It began with 12 designers, but no one was eliminated at the end of the first challenge. Instead, two more “Runway” alums were added to the lineup. What surprise twists were in store for the contestants in week two? Scroll down for our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments as they happen.
This season of “All Stars” is a unique “Champions” edition in which all of the contestants are past winners of “Runway,” “All Stars” or one of the show’s various international spin-offs. Representing America are Anthony Ryan (“All Stars” season two winner), Anya Ayoung-Chee (“Runway” season nine), Dmitry Sholokhov (“Runway” season 10 and “All Stars” season four), Irina Shabayeva (“Runway” season six), Michelle Lesniak (“Runway” season 11), and Seth Aaron Henderson...

Lifetime kicked off its final season of Project Runway All Stars on Wednesday, pitting six previous American winners against six winners of various international franchises. (You know, we always had a feeling that World War III would be fought with needles and threads.)
