For the first time in the history of Project Runway, the contestants did not get to deliver their thank you speeches before their collections walked the runway! This means that the entire audience was left in the dark as to which designers actually made it to the finale — and who was associated with each look! Though atypical, this allowed for audience members to judge each collection critically, unbiased by the urge to root for their favorite designers. Six distinct collections were shown — get the scoop here!

Project Runway Season 11 Finale Show Secrets: Who’s In And Who’s Out?

One of the telltale marks of a great designer is to have a brand vision so distinct and cohesive that viewers could spot their look without the grand introduction. Though six collections were shown, only three of them represented the final three contestants on the show — the others were teaser collections designed by other eliminated contestants to keep the mystery alive. Audience members were happy to offer their guesses as to who the masterminds behind the runway looks really were — and which collections were finale-worthy!

Even though it is early in Season 11′s television airing, some designers have already managed to let viewers in on their personal style. Distinctly Native American-inspired decorations on one artistic collection clearly pointed to New Mexico based Patricia Michaels. Flawlessly tailored architectural garments created buzz that Austin, Texas’s Daniel Esquivel must have been part of the designer roundup! Jersey knit dresses paired with futuristic safety goggles (we’ll get back to this!) could belong to no other designer than Brooklyn’s Samantha Black.

Project Runway Season 11 Finale Show Designs: Perfect For Emma Stone & Miley Cyrus

With six designers showing on the runway, of course there were tons of new styles on display. We love this stunning textured coat for elegantly edgy celebs like Emma Stone. Graphic pieces like a mixed-sleeve sweatshirt/blouse combo would work well with Miley Cyrus‘ constantly evolving style wardrobe.

Project Runway Season 11 Finale Show Trends: Black & White & Blinged All Over!

Even with many voices coming through on the runway, we noticed cool Fall/Winter trends emerging even within the competition! Black and white garments reigned supreme, as the designers chose to embellish their looks with studs, graphic details, and texture rather than colors. One collection even included blinged-out safety goggles as futuristic edgy outwear. Another collection showed floppy Dr. Seuss worthy hairpieces that were truly hair-raising.

New York Fashion Week officially kicked off on Feb. 7 and so many stylish stars are in town! Whether they are taking in shows from the front row or hanging out at chic parties, we love seeing them out and about. Co-star pals Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens are putting their most stylish foot forward. While Selena kept it casual for the Adidas NEO fashion show, Vanessa took the opportunity to flaunt her boho chic style.

Vanessa seems to be everywhere these days! We first saw her at at the relaunch of designer John Varvatos’ website where she looked cool and comfortable in a boho-chic ensemble and statement jewelry. The very next night, the star took to the red carpet for the Wildfox Couture presentation, where she stole the spotlight in a sexy metallic maxi. She braved the brisk NYC weather, pairing the dress with a faux fur leopard coat — I love the way she mixes and matches! Given that the star is a huge fan of the brand we weren’t surprised to see her checking out the latest collection!

At the Richard Chai Love show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Ashlee Simpson rocked a blonde top knot and an embellished top and told us she loves getting glam! Right next to Ashlee was Christina Ricci, who looked effortlessly chic in separates. The vibrant blue hue of her blouse really stood out while she took in the show from the front row!

Even though the fashionable week has just begun we can’t wait to see what other stylish stars will step out — and we’ll be sure to check out their outfits! Who do you think is best dressed so far? See all the pics & VOTE below!

20-year-old Selena Gomez plans to attend the Adidas NEO fashion show in NYC on Feb. 6 during New York Fashion Week and we are totally excited to see her in the front row at the show! 18-year-old Justin Bieber is also a global style ambassador for the brand, although the singer isn’t expected to show.

Selena is the brand’s guest-designer through a three-year partnership until the end of 2015, and she helped select the 30 looks that will come down the runway, worn by teen bloggers, during the show — we can’t wait to see the latest looks! Her ex, Justin, signed a two-year contract with the brand until the end of 2014.

“It is a great partnership for me because NEO really cares about style and having fun with fashion and allowing you to be yourself,” Selena says. How cute!

The starlet will debut in print, digital, outdoor, and retail campaigns starting this February under the “Live Your Style” positioning for the Spring/Summer collection. Justin is also modeling for the same campaign and season. When we start seeing the ex-couple on billboards for the same company, it’ll feel like they’re dating all over again! Given their on-again, off-again history that just might turn out to be true — you never know!

The styles of the NEO line are absolutely perfect for the everyday lifestyles of teen gals and guys. There is a huge assortment of nautical-inspired clothes and beachy styles at affordable prices.

Be sure to check out the styles at the fashion show and our girl, Selena, on the billboards in February.

TRESemmé Lead Stylist Jeanie Syfu created a sweet, twisted side-ponytail inspired by Las Vegas in the 1960′s. The look was equal parts sleek and sassy.

1. Start by applying TRESemmé Climate Control Mousse throughout towel-dried hair and blow dry using a Mason Pearson brush

2. Create a deep side part on the left side that runs from the forehead to the hairline at the nape of the neck. Finish it off with TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray.

3. Smooth out the surface of the hair with a brush and push hair on the right side of the part so that it sweeps over the forehead to just above right ear.

4. While still holding this section of hair, twist the section inwards to create a loose twist that runs down the hairline on the right side to the nape of the neck, securing with pins as you go.

5. Finish the twist on the left side of the nape and brush all hair back into a low ponytail. Fasten with an elastic.

6. Spritz the ends of the ponytail with TRESemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray.
