ICE DANCING
"I didn't know that Olivia Newton-John made a comeback," Valvo quips of the gold medalist's leopard-print ensemble—which Garcia agrees looks like the singer's "Let's Get Physical" video. Says Garcia: "She should lose the headband."

This safari-inspired getup prompted Rich to declare, "Siegfried and Roy unleashed!" But the animal print is only part of what troubles Garcia. She wonders, "Is that a gold chain around his neck?"

"It would have been beautiful," says Valvo, "without the apron." Garcia agrees: "A poor choice for America's sweetheart." But Rich praises Cohen's "razzle-dazzle," calling the look "fun and flirty. In the ice skating world, what more could you ask for?"

ICE DANCING
"Las Vegas showgirl on ice," boos Project Runway judge and Elle fashion director Nina Garcia. "Where's the pole?" Adds designer Carmen Marc Valvo: "If horrific were a color, this would be it." Ouch.

"I looooove this!" gushes Richie Rich, co-creator of the Heatherette clothing line. "The matador look can go either way—and he looks dashingly cool."
OLYMPIC STANDOUTS
JOHNNY WEIR
FIGURE SKATING
He may have finished a disappointing fifth in Men's Figure Skating, but Johnny Weir deserved a gold for alpine punditry. Outrageous and outspoken, he criticized the Olympic accommodations, defended his decision to wear an old Soviet Union jacket to a practice and sparred jovially with the press corps, becoming a favorite TV interview along the way. PEOPLE caught up with the free-spirited Weir in a Turin coffeehouse and, over lattes and pasticcerias, asked him to free associate a bit.
If we peeked into your closet at home we'd see ...
Lots of fur; it's pretty. I love the fur. And lots of jeans—I have a whole denim salon in my closet. And I have 105 pairs of shoes.
We'd be surprised to see ...
Lacoste.
The U.S. Team uniform could use ...
Rhinestones. And real fur. They give us these coats shaped like a box. We're the wealthiest country, so why not give the athletes good clothes?
I get my outspoken nature from ...
My mother, Patty, who always taught me to have my own opinions and never be a puppet for anyone.
If you could do anything differently ...
I'd know the bus schedule so I could skate and not think about anything else. I would have come out with better results in the standings.
If you weren't a skater ...
I'd be a fashion designer. Or anything that would make me happy. Life is too short to do something for your living that makes you unhappy.
