Nicky Hilton's Dose of Reality

(NEW YORK) Even reality television can't escape the grip of the New York socialite.

This week's episode of Project Runway has the contestants designing dresses for one of Gotham's boldfaced names, and the lucky recipient-spoiler alert!-is none other than Nicky Hilton. The slightly more subdued and serious half of the Hilton party duo, however, wasn't the producer's first choice, as The Daily has learned. Ivanka Trump was the number one pick, but the demure daughter of The Donald, who has his own reality show on NBC, politely declined. Meanwhile, Tinsley Mortimer was also casually considered as a third option.

Which budding designer wins? Tune in this Wednesday at 10pm to find out.
