Heidi Klum Takes Over Rodeo Drive
Stops traffic for German 'Vogue' magazine

Here are a few photos of German supermodel Heidi Klum posing in various fashions on the street set of a new photoshoot for German Vogue magazine which took place on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, CA yesterday afternoon. Rockin’ outfits designed by Alexander McQueen, Giles Deacon and more – Heidi literally stopped traffic and made Rodeo Drive her personal playground. As you may be aware, Heidi‘s photoshoot took place on the very same day that we learned that NBC settled their legal dispute with The Weinstein Company which paves the way for the wildly successful competitive reality TV show Project Runway to air on Lifetime TV … which is very good news for fans of the show. But anyways, back to Heidi


Heidi Klum brought Beverly Hills’ famous Rodeo Drive to a standstill yesterday with her thigh-high leather platform boots. The German supermodel squeezed herself into a pair of Alexander McQueen kinky boots as she posed on the streets of LA’s shopping mecca for a German Vogue shoot. The 35-year-old dangerously tottered on a street bench in the 12-inch high heels in the undoubted highlight of a wacky series of shots … Heidi’s presence on Rodeo Drive soon attracted crowds of shoppers. The 5ft 9 supermodel and mother of three also dared to bare her flanks in slashed-to-the-thigh dress. In a throwback to Eighties fashion, the plunging black dress had unusual turquoise woolen balls in the puffy sleeves. She wore the power dress with a quirky accessory – a baby pink plastic poodle handbag. The 5ft 9 supermodel was given extra height with a pair of brown and black lace effect heels with an ankle strap. Heidi also posed in another Eighties-style black mini dress with oversized lace collar and peep-toe ankle boots. In a more demure ensemble, Heidi went for secretary chic in a black jacket and pencil skirt with white collar. She gave the look an added fun factor with a red lips clutch bag with quirky toe definition nude heels. But the shoot wasn’t just all black, Heidi was given a colour injection with a mermaid-esque Giles Deacon red scaled mini dress with matching red coat and killer black heels … Modelling job aside, Heidi was thrilled to find out she could resume her hit TV show Project Runaway after producers sorted out a legal wrangle. Producers Weinstein Company wanted to move the fashion design reality show from NBC to Lifetime, but NBC sued the Weinsteins, claiming it had violating their contract. Nearly a year later, the Weinsteins confirmed yesterday they have paid NBC for the rights to move the show to Lifetime so it is expected to hit TV screens later this year. A joint statement from NBC and the Weinsteins said: “The Weinstein Company will pay NBCU for the right to move Project Runway to Lifetime. All of the parties are pleased with the outcome.”

HMMM … looks like an interesting shoot. As weird as they may look, I kinda like the funky McQueen boots. They’re not something that really work in the real world but in a high fashion photoshoot like this they look very cool. But, as much as I can appreciate that Heidi‘s first job is modeling, I’m very much looking forward to her getting back to the biz of hosting Project Runway again. I suspect that Lifetime is working furiously to figure out a way to get the last season of Project Runway (the first filmed for the network last Fall but was not allowed to air on TV) on their network as soon as possible. If they’re smart, they’ll figure out a way to get the show on the air so that we can watch it while they cast and film the next season to air this summer. It would be a terrible shame if the 6th season of Project Runway never makes it to air. Now that the legal fight is over, I’m hoping that we’ll be getting our PR fix very quickly. In any event, it’s wise that Heidi didn’t quit her day job in the wake of PR‘s huge success … but now that the show is free to air again, I think it’s time to hang up the Alexander McQueen boots and get back to Aufing contestants on Project Runwaypost haste!

    That red dress is getting a lot of play lately. It has been in Vogue Paris and on one of my favorite blogs (about PR no less :)) twice in the last week: http://projectrungay.blogspot.com/

    To be honest, I don’t really get Heidi’s appeal. I know she has super model height and she is a great person of course, but… her looks are SUPER average. She’s a good model and all but I just find her to be a plain Jane; especially in the face. I do enjoy her on Project Runway though.

    I heard that Christina Aguilera is a judge on the 6th season. I’m interested to see what her input will be.
