This are photos of Heidi Klum last night in Milan for the big amFAR event. The dress is apparently Roberto Cavalli – Heidi was at the Cavalli show yesterday too, so I suppose she picked up something for the amFAR event. Even though the dress is slightly boring, I like it. I prefer Heidi when she’s doing straight-up glamour, rather than avant garde stuff, or inappropriate-for-the-occasion stuff. Like wearing a minidress to the Emmys (not cool). So it’s nice to Heidi in a pretty, formal gown at a formal evening event.

That being said, it’s slightly beauty-queen. If Heidi had gone for big hair, it really would have been beauty queen, but she wisely went for a sleeker hairstyle. When I first saw these photos, I began thinking about Marlene Dietrich. For a brief time, Dietrich wore her hair like this, and I’ve always thought that Heidi must consider Dietrick one of her top style icons. But honestly, aren’t you just happy that Heidi is growing out the mom-bangs-trauma?

Speaking of trauma, Heidi still has her bangs on the episodes of Project Runway. SPOILER: Weren’t you just thrilled as can be that Ivy was cut off last week? I had been waiting for that bitch to fail for so long. Even though Valerie really deserved to go home (for real), Ivy has been putting out horrendous stuff for weeks, and she’s horrible. The real surprise, for me, was how much the judges loved Gretchen’s cheesy peasant frontier-woman fug gowns. What the hell? Sometimes I really do wonder if Michael and Nina and Heidi smoke crack before they judge.
