Not everyone thinks Dmitry should have won ‘Project Runway All Stars,’ according to our poll results
Dmitry Sholokhov came this close to winning an unprecedented third “Project Runway” title (he previously won “Runway” season 10 and “All Stars” season 4), but he finished second during the all-champions edition of “All Stars,” ultimately losing the title to Michelle Lesniak. That set off a firestorm of protest in our comments from fans who thought Sholokhov clearly had the best collection. Indeed, when thousands of readers chimed in by voting in our poll it was Sholokhov who came out on top — but not by much. Despite the outrage, more than half of our respondents actually would have picked someone else to win. Scroll down for our complete poll results at the bottom of this post.
Sholokhov himself seemed to think he was robbed of the title. He thought his designs were “masterpieces” and there was no comparison between his work and Lesniak’s. And 43% of fans agreed with that assessment. But...

“I love Michelle, but you can’t compare what Michelle put out there, not technically, not creatively. My pieces were masterpieces,” said “Project Runway All Stars” runner-up Dmitry Sholokhov at the end of the season seven finale. Suffice it to say that Sholokhov didn’t take his defeat well when Michelle Lesniak was crowned the winner, and neither did a lot of our readers. The judges’ pick for the best designer in this all-champions season was controversial to say the least. Scroll down to see our complete poll results.
Sholokhov was undefeated coming into this season, having won “Runway” season 10 and then “All Stars” season 4. Lesniak won “Runway” season 11, and competed against Sholokhov in “All Stars” season 4, but she was eliminated right before the finale, which shattered her confidence. She wanted to win this world championship season as a way to give her career and self-esteem a boost and to...

“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?
The episode got off to an exciting start with the announcement of the final challenge. After weeks of unique, innovative and highly specific design tasks that ran the gamut from airplane materials to Willy Wonka inventions, the designers had no rules at all for their finale collections. Their mission was to take four days and a $3,000 budget to create six-look collections inspired by whatever theme they wanted. Essentially, their design objective could...

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…

In just 12 short hours, Lifetime will make reality TV history, crowning the first-ever Project Runway All Stars “World Champion” in a dramatic season finale event 15 years in the making.
But which of the four remaining designers — Dmitry Sholokhov, Evan Biddell, Irina Shabayeva or Michelle Lesniak — deserves to take home the brand-new title, and which one is most likely to? (Come on, we’ve all seen enough finales to know that the “right” person doesn’t always win.)

“Project Runway All Stars” season seven started with 14 designers who had won a previous season of the fashion competition series, either in the Us or abroad. But it’s down to the final four, who in tonight’s finale will present their final collections for a chance to be crowned the champion of champions. So who’s out front? Interestingly, our pick for who will win is different from our readers’ choice for who should win.
Based on the combined predictions of Gold Derby users, Irina Shabayeva will win. She gets leading odds of 31/20, and for good reason. She won two design challenges over the course of the season, and when she didn’t win she still tended to get high scores. She was the runner-up in six other challenges, which means that for two-thirds of the competition she was either first or second. She did also get three low scores from the judges,...

In the world of fashion, one day you’re in and the next you’re out. Unless you’re on “Project Runway All Stars,” in which case you’re just in. At the end of “Modern Families,” the penultimate episode of season seven, the judges had to decide which designer to eliminate before sending the final three to next week’s season finale. But they ultimately decided not to decide. Instead, they made the unorthodox choice to send all four of them to the finale. What did you think of that twist? Scroll down to vote in our poll at the bottom of this post.
Michelle Lesniak, Evan Biddell, Irina Shabayeva and Dmitry Sholokhov were all feeling the pressure. For the Canadian Biddell, advancing to the finale meant getting an opportunity to present an entire collection for the first time to the American “Runway” audience. For Lesniak it meant redemption...

With only two episodes left this season, Wednesday’s Project Runway All Stars presented the remaining four designers with their greatest challenge yet — and not everyone rose to the occasion.
“Recently, what constitutes a family has been debated in society; families now come in all shapes and sizes,” Alyssa Milano told the group before explaining this week’s “family” challenge: “You will each be creating outfits for three members of a modern family. Your designs must be cohesive, because each of your families will take a portrait photo together, and that family portrait will be revealed to everyone on the runway.

There’s just one week left for “Project Runway All Stars” — maybe ever. The seventh season is ending soon, and with it ends the Lifetime era of the “Runway” franchise. So who won the penultimate challenge on the way to the finale, and who (if anyone) was eliminated just short of the finish line? Find out below in our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments as they happen.
The four semifinalists in this all-champions edition of “All Stars” were Evan Biddell (winner of Canadian “Runway” season 1), Michelle Lesniak (American “Runway” season 11), Irina Shabayeva (American “Runway” season 6) and Dmitry Sholokhov (American “Runway” season 10 and “All Stars” season 4). Tonight they were tasked with creating fashion for “Modern Families” in order to secure their places in the finale. And there was an added twist: Marie Claire editor-in-chief Anne Fulenwider, who is usually the designers’ mentor, joined the judges table this time to officially critique their looks.

“Project Runway All Stars” season seven is coming down to the wire, so with only four contestants remaining in this all-champions edition of the fashion competition series, we asked fans who they think deserves to win. But that turned out to be a surprisingly difficult question, because while our readers are pretty sure they know who will win, there’s not nearly as much agreement on who should win. Scroll down for our complete poll results.
Irina Shabayeva is the designer our readers are rooting for the most, but that’s not saying much because she only got 28% of the vote, which is barely more than she statistically would have gotten if our respondents randomly picked a name out of a hat. It was damn near a tie between her and Evan Biddell (27%), while Dmitry Sholokhov (24%) and Michelle Lesniak (21%) trailed, but not by much. I myself had trouble deciding on...

There are only four designers left in the special all-champions edition of “Project Runway All Stars,” so there’s nowhere to hide. One stitch out of place could mean disaster, especially with the way the competition has swung wildly all season, with contestants going right from the top of the heap to the bottom of the pack and vice versa. So who (if anyone) will be ousted in the season’s penultimate challenge?
According to the combined predictions of Gold Derby users, Michelle Lesniak is the likeliest to be eliminated. She gets leading odds of 23/10 of being sent home even though she has been one of the strongest contestants all season with two challenge wins and four other high scores. She even had a four-week streak from episodes 7-10 where she was in the judges’ top three every time.

The seventh and final season of “Project Runway All Stars” (the final season on Lifetime at least) is nearing the end, and the competition is down to the final four. In this season consisting entirely of past “Runway” champions, the best of the best are Evan Biddell, Michelle Lesniak, Irina Shabayeva and Dmitry Sholokhov. Who among them do you think deserves to be crowned the champion of champions when all is said and done? Scroll down to vote in our poll at the bottom of this post.
In terms of who will win, the women seem to have the advantage on paper since they have won two design challenges each over the course of the season, while the two men have won only one apiece.

Royal fever swept Wednesday’s Project Runway All Stars, which tasked the remaining five designers with creating ball gowns using luxurious silks. To elevate this experience, the challenge was presented by special guest judge Nina Garcia, a longtime member of Runway’s royal court.
And while tensions certainly ran high this week, the outcome was fairly predictable. From the moment the challenge was announced, Irina Shabayeva’s fellow contestants projected that she would win, given her extensive gown-designing experience. And even though she did come out on top with her “dynamite” design — a modern, sexier version of a ball gown...

We’re in the home stretch of “Project Runway All Stars” season seven. Only five contestants were left going into the Wednesday night, March 13 episode, “Nina Says Don’t Cry Over Spilt Silk,” and (presumably) only four came out. So who advanced to next week’s penultimate episode, and who was left crying in a pool of misspent silk? Find out below in our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments as they happen.
“Spilt Silk” features Nina Garcia, the editor-in-chief of Elle magazine and a longtime judge on the original “Project Runway” series (you can see her on Thursday night when that show returns to Bravo for its 17th season). In this episode of “All Stars” she challenged the remaining designers to create luxurious ball gowns with silk.

“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. The look wasn’t too inventive, and the cinching required too...

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.
To be fair, I can see where the judges were coming from. The challenge was to design a resort look that would transition quickly from one climate to another. Exie was tasked with a beach look that would go from sunny to windy, but all she offered the judges was a two-piece bathing suit...

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...

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. In “All-Inclusive,” the remaining designers had to create gender-neutral looks that could be worn by anyone. So who better to guest-judge such a unique challenge than Asia Kate Dillon? The non-binary actor is best known for their Critics’ Choice nominated role in Showtime’s “Billions.” Scroll down for our live updating blog with all the minute-by-minute developments as they happen.
So who among the top seven designers was up to the challenge?

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?
The users who have entered their predictions at Gold Derby are actually betting on a surprise ouster: Evan Biddell, who gets leading odds of 23/10 of being sent home. His elimination would be unusual for two reasons. First of all, he has yet to get a single low score from the judges, and there is only one other designer for whom that is still the case (Dmitry Sholokhov). Second,...

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. Did she really deserve to be eliminated? Scroll down to vote in our poll at the bottom of this post.

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.
“The vest is a little frumpy,” guest judge Vanessa Williams said in her critiques. “It’s a little matronly.

Eight designers remained going into episode eight of “Project Runway All Stars.” After dealing with unconventional materials, corsets, zoo animals and more, the designers had to make fashionable evening looks out of — gasp! — daytime separates. 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.

Django Steenbakker was eliminated from “Project Runway All Stars” last week after landing in the judges’ bottom three for several challenges. But now that he’s gone, who’s next? Of the eight remaining competitors there are only two left who have yet to win a design challenge. One of them has never gotten a low score (Evan Biddell), while the other has never gotten a high score (Cynthia Hayashi). Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s the low-scorer we’re expecting to exit the competition tonight.
Hayashi hasn’t really had a disastrous run this season on “All Stars.” Out of the first seven challenges, she only got low scores twice: in the season premiere episode, and then in “Of Corsets Fashion.” But every other week she has simply been declared safe, and seven challenges is a long way to go without being singled out for judges’ praise even once. So most...

“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.

The “Project Runway All Stars” contestants put the “Pedal to the Metal” in episode six. The 10 remaining designers used metallic fabrics and unique textures to create red carpet looks that they hoped would please the guest judges: talk show host Wendy Williams, Victoria’s Secret model Lily Aldridge and race car driver Danica Patrick. So who drove the judges wild, and who had their fashion license revoked? Scroll down for our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments as they happen.
This season of “All Stars” has pit past champions from American “Runway” shows against champions from abroad, and up to this point the Americans have wiped the floor with the international contenders. Three of the first four eliminations were from foreign “Runway” spin-offs, leaving four international designers up against six Americans. Of course, it must be noted that even the contestants representing the Us version of “Runway” are a global...

“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.”

To paraphrase a common sentiment, I don’t know much about fashion, but I know what I like. And I like “Project Runway All Stars” front-runner Dmitry Sholokhov just fine. But after five weeks of competition I’m kind of wondering what all the fuss is about. The judges have loved his designs, but I’m not sure he has belonged in the top three as often as the judges have put him there. Do you think his designs have really been as strong as his results? Vote in our poll at the bottom of this post to let us know.
Sholokhov came into this “All Stars” season undefeated, having won the show both times competed before: “Runway” season 10 and “All Stars” season 4. And he was the judges favorite right out of the gate in the current competition, winning the season premiere design challenge. He was safe for the next two weeks,...

“Some of these people are just wolves in sheep’s clothing,” said “Project Runway All Stars” contestant Michelle Lesniak after the drama that ensued during the “On the Prowl” challenge. She designed a jagged-edged look inspired by a porcupine, but some of her fellow competitors thought she plagiarized one of Dmitry Sholokhov‘s looks from a previous season. Sholokhov seemed to think so too. The judges were also reminded of his aesthetic, but they didn’t think she stole anything from him because they gave her the win. What do you think? Vote in our poll at the bottom of this post to let us know if she really deserved this victory.
The designers were well into the workday when Irina Shabayeva caught a glimpse of Lesniak’s look and tattled to Sholokhov about the similarities she perceived. Evan Biddell also thought they were similar, though he gave Lesniak credit...

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.

Almost everyone in this champions edition of “Project Runway All Stars” has had ups and downs in the first four episodes of the competition. From week to week you can’t count on anyone being safe. But so far there have been three designers who have escaped the judges wrath: Evan Biddell, Dmitry Sholokhov and Michelle Lesniak. Is one of them the front-runner to win?
The champions in this season’s cast come from the American iterations of “Runway” as well as its international spin-offs. Sholokhov won two American seasons: “Runway” season 10 and “All-Stars” season 4. Lesniak won American “Runway” season 11. And Biddell represents our neighbor to the north: he won Canadian “Runway” season 1.

Biddell’s only high score of the season so far actually came for a design in which he paid tribute to his Canadian heritage, creating a look with a Mountie motif.

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...

“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.

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.)
