When Tori Spelling arrived at Christian Siriano on Thursday night, three things jumped out at us. First, her deep-teal Siriano cocktail dress was extremely pretty and flattering to her bustline — as well it should have been, as we believe he made it for her specifically and most recently fitted it to her that afternoon. Second, the erstwhile Donna Martin was wearing way too much makeup. At her age, shouldn't she have graduated to a more natural look? And finally, girlfriend is THIN. We think she's even less substantial than when she last played Donna and spent about four years in belly shirts. We were seated right next to a whole clutch of Christian's Project Runway castmates, and Kevin Christiana was sufficiently moved to lean over to us — people whom he doesn't even know — and remark that she is way too skinny. (He also told us that as soon as everyone in his season of Runway got a load of Christian's work, they knew they were screwed. That's got to be demoralizing when you're stuck in a continuous loop of not sleeping and having only eight hours to make dresses out of, like, flaxseed and Jacuzzi jets.)

Late this afternoon, a mysterious e-mail appeared in our in-boxes from something calling itself WWWWD. Not knowing what in the world that might be, we naively opened the attachment and were greeted with Worldwide Womenswear Digest, a lovely spoof of WWD. In short: It's the Onion of the fashion world. While spoofs are generally massive failures or huge successes, WWWWD is top-notch. And we have absolutely no clue who's behind it. But we simply must share. Some headlines, and a download link after the jump:

• THE PARENT TRAP: Bee Shaffer shocked to learn most parents don’t have yearly hug limits

• Diane von Furstenberg Debuts Controversial Spinach Wrap Dress

• THIS JUST IN: ALEXANDER McQUEEN/Björk COLLABORATION FOR H&M SUSPECTED IN DUTCH SALMONELLA OUTBREAK

Only one more day to go and the critics persevere: They're divided over Marc by Marc Jacobs, praise Badgley Mischka's drama without the bling, and find Derek Lam's collection safe but underwhelming.

The week is — dare we say it? — entering the final stretch, but we've still got more eye candy from the runway. The latest:

Catherine Malandrino always shows pretty dresses. But her show this afternoon in the Rainbow Room gave us a few pauses. First the models' hair raised eyebrows — the clusters of buns were so bulbous and piled so high they spilled over onto the girls' foreheads, restrained by hairnets. We felt downright uncomfortable when a couple of girls walked out with hairnets extending over their entire faces, like some sort of model muzzles. Was Malandrino afraid they might eat the chocolate croissants or mini-quiches from the breakfast spread? Or — God forbid — open their mouths? Also making a lasting impression were the hands printed on dresses; they reached down from the shoulder and across the hip as if to grope the wearer. At least in this time of economic turmoil, she put bracelets and rings on the hands. They might have been dangling off the fabric, but Beyoncé would approve.

All throughout the week, the owners from Bird, Odin, Den, and Pas de Deux will be telling us what they liked at the collections. Today's installment is by Bird's Jen Mankins. So far, she thinks this is Zero + Maria Cornejo's strongest collection to date. She loved the impeccable detailing at Phillip Lim, and was a fan of Thakoon's bright dresses. See more of Jen's picks after the jump.

Last season, when Diane Kruger arrived at Tommy Hilfiger sans dashing boyfriend Joshua Jackson, we scolded her for the oversight and encouraged her to go sit in the corner and think about what she'd done. Well, time to take off the dunce cap, Diane: At Thursday morning's Tommy show, just as we settled in for some celeb-spotting, the crowds parted, the "Hallelujah" chorus blasted, and tiny angels flew down from the rafters carrying a heavenly spotlight that they cast right onto Kruger and Jackson's beaming faces. "Pacey. Pacey! PACEY!" we choked, clutching each other like 13-year-olds. Seriously, we were 30 seconds away from asking him to sign our Trapper-Keepers. Or our chests.

Veteran fashion critic Lynn Yaeger is roaming the tents for us and blogging up a storm. Here's her latest report.

I almost skip the J. Mendel show because it’s scheduled for the ungodly hour of 9 a.m., but then it dawns on me, as I struggle to the subway, that this is actually the time a lot of people start work! At least my feet are clad in Repetto dance flats rather than the ridiculously vertiginous heels Mendel’s models are forced to wear. How can they stand up? How can they walk? Why do women like these things? And why must the soles always be red? Why not persimmon? Periwinkle?

We're in the home stretch, gang! The critics are still churning out opinionated pull quotes, and it's mostly positive: Tracey Reese is going to the bank, Yigal is appealingly dark, and Rodarte is strangely compelling.

In a week of opaque tights and smoky eyes, Doo.Ri gave us some exciting accessories. Her lace leggings had just enough sequins to catch the light. Her hair-trimmed bags had fun zipper detailing. And the designer also developed last season's black-lipstick trend into something wearable by using a matte gray-violet tone. See more from Doo.Ri, as well as other makeup, shoes, and accessories, in our details slideshows.

As we dashed through the drizzle to the temporary shelter erected outside Wednesday’s Marchesa presentation, we unwittingly came within an inch of impaling Diane Kruger’s abdomen with our umbrellas. The actress was huddled near the mouth of the tent to wait for her car without being savaged by precipitation; luckily we adjusted our trajectories before blood was shed. We’re sure boyfriend Joshua Jackson would never forgive us, and we could never, ever risk running afoul of Pacey Witter.

Is Coco Rocha the new Martha Stewart? Today at Michael Kors we saw her interview Chanel Iman, shoot Lauren Ezersky down when she tried to interview her, say chirpy things into the camera, strip down, put on a tight gray Michael Kors suit, walk the runway, strip down again, change into regular clothes, and go back to interviewing her fellow models. We were surprised she didn’t julienne some carrots and teach us how to change motor oil in the process. Between breaths, Jada Yuan caught up with Fashion Week’s busiest model-TV-host-Irish-step-dancer-redhead.

Earlier this week, we ran into Tim Gunn, who seemed as confused about Project Runway as we are. Then today we talked to Michael Kors and Heidi Klum, who both seemed equally in the dark. Great, guys. This really helps.

Klum seemed to be the most clued-in. She said the season is running along just like normal, with the finalists and select designers having taken the last four months to work on their clothes. They’ll show the clothes on Friday, per usual. The only difference is that the audience hasn’t seen any of the episodes leading up to that triumphal Bryant Park debut and will have no one to root for.
