After past Ugly Betty cameos for the likes of Christian Siriano, Nina Garcia and Tim Gunn, another face of Project Runway — Michael Kors — is getting a chance to flex his acting muscles.
The Runway judge will appear in an episode of Gossip Girl when the hit teen drama returns with its second season (beginning September 1).
The designer recently filmed a scene, which takes place during NYC’s Fashion Week, at downtown venue Capitale, reports Women’s Wear Daily.
“The plot line is a riot,” Kors said. “I was glued to Gossip Girl from Day One. I think it truly is the ‘car-crash-that’s-glamorous.’”
The show, which depicts the scandalous — and very fashionable — lives of young New York socialites, may be over-the-top at times, but Kors says there’s some truth behind its plotlines.
“Probably to the consternation of certain people on the Upper East Side, they really get it,” he said of the show’s writers. “It’s a pretty clear picture of how a lot of these kids really are.”
