The Vans Warped Tour arrives in Miami this weekend, with the all-day music festival taking over Bicentennial Park.

Many designers bring a party atmosphere to their runway shows, but La Perla decided to bring its runway show to the party during last week’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. The famous lingerie maker held its runway show at Club SET in South Beach, and as you can see from these backstage photos it was a good call. Of course Kim Kardashian was there too, working the camera.

Poses, that is … Kim Kardashian took time out of her busy schedule of fashion shows and club hopping last week to pose with a Mercedes. While Kim’s efforts were probably appreciated by the Mercedes marketing folk, the official ambassador of Mercedes during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was supermodel and nice guy Tyson Beckford, who also cuts a fine figure while posing with a luxury vehicle.

Michelle Rodriguez of Lost fame celebrated her birthday at Mansion in South Beach last night. Her b’day celebration included model Omahyra Mota (X-Men fans know her as Arclight), actress Patricia Mota, Victoria’s Secret model Karoline, Australian model Cheyenne Tozzi, infamous heir Brandon Davis, and an even more infamous O.J. Simpson with his son Justin.

Sounds like quite the crowd … at least Michelle seems to have learned her lesson about drunk driving, as these pictures show her being helped into the passenger side of a vehicle. Michelle recently announced plans to start her own fashion line, which may include some interesting accessories.
