The 125 Best New Beauty Launches Of 2023

Using their previous winning looks as inspiration,the six remaining designers in episode 11 of Project Runway had to come up with complementary looks that matched their originals’ style.

It’s been a few weeks since Christopher designed anything the judges liked, and his ball gown with flower appliques was no exception.

Carol Hannah thought about designing something besides a dress, but why mess with a good thing? Her cute cocktail look with pockets wasn’t as glamorous as her Bob Mackey-inspired gown, but the judges didn’t notice.

After the success of her Park Avenue edgy cocktail dress, Gordana tried to translate edgy into a sleek upscale outfit, but failed miserably.

So it’s a good thing for her that Logan turned up the volume way too high. The irony for him is that zipper-gate (where Althea passive-aggressively accused him of stealing her collar idea) was basically what sent him home.

And despite Irina accusing Althea – on the runway – of copying her over-sized sweater design, “Meana Irina” got her comeuppance by creating a “beautiful” brocade dress, but losing out to Althea.

Borrowing the paper bag element of her winning skirt, Althea created impeccably crafted pants, topped with a sexy tank and a cozy cocoon cardigan.

Judges unanimously loved Althea’s outfit. While the slim pants have a lot of volume near the waist and might not work for every body, they’re a nice alternative to leggings. These Silence & Noise Paper Bag Trousers fit the bill, but won’t break your budget. There’s no shortage of cocoon-style cardigans with kimono sleeves, but this Ella Moss Striped Ollie Cardigan has a pretty  silhouette and a belt to keep it from looking sloppy.

Score more of this week’s favorite styles with cardigans, cocktail dresses, and harem pants.
