Jessica Simpson: Project Runway Finale Judge

Who can remember that Jessica Simpson used to sing? In recent years, the buxom blonde has been riding high thanks to her booming fashion brand and on Thursday, she took that industry expertise to the front row of the Project Runway fashion show.

Simpson, sitting next to the show’s judges Nina Garcia, Michael Kors, and Heidi Klum, served as a guest judge on the reality competition’s finale episode during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.

Simpson, in a glittering black mini dress and sky-high heels, was spotted giggling with Garcia before the show began.

On Tuesday, Simpson was up front and center at her own show. She premiered her first collection of denim in a casual presentation at her midtown showroom as run-up to Fashion Week. Her sister Ashlee, along with some choice friends, helped model some of the new duds and Ashlee’s rocker husband Pete Wentz served as DJ.

'Project Runway' Meets 'The Hiils'

Ra'mon Lawrence Coleman went from the runway to The Hills, as he employed his Project Runway skills and worked alongside Lauren Conrad for her spring collection. The season 6 designer didn't exactly make any appearances on the show, since even the star doesn't work there anymore. However, the two of them put their heads and hands together to come up with Conrad's LC Collection for Kohl's.

The designer helped out a lot with the star's collection, highlighting his talents in details. He didn't quite boast of the collaboration though, but there are several obvious similarities in his Project Runway creations to hers. Even fashion blog le petit connaisseur pointed out a number of parallel features.

Also, Coleman already revealed the news back in 2009 and told L'etoile Magazine about his work with the former Hills starlet. "You know me, I'm a guy who likes to juggle many things," Ra'mon Lawrence said.

Anyway, Lauren Conrad's spring collection also draws heavily from the star's own style. It's also pretty affordable too, which is always great news for those who want to pay homage to the Hills and Project Runway stars. Or those who just like good clothes.
