Jeremy Meeks walked away from his ex-wife and moved onto bigger and better things ... and now she's walkin' his walk -- on her first runway as a fashion model.
Melissa Meeks -- who was married to the "hot felon" for 8 years -- will take the stage at "Black Excellence" at the end of the month in Los Angeles as she dives into the modeling scene ... TMZ has learned.
We're told Melissa will be dressed in a custom cheetah-pattern bodysuit with a denim jacket over it. Rawr!
It's the latest move in Melissa's dramatic makeover ... she's already had a vaginal rejuvenation procedure. We're told she's hoping to do more modeling as she moves on after Jeremy.
He's already done plenty of moving on -- legendarily, really -- he's got a kid with Topshop heiress Chloe Green and they're reportedly engaged already.
Do you, Melissa.

North West I'm a Model Kid Now!!!
North West had a distinctly Michael Jackson vibe Saturday as she marched down the runway at a celeb fashion show.
The 5-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West made her modeling debut at the L.O.L. Surprise Fashion Show in Santa Monica.
She wore what looks like a "Thriller" getup as she walked the runway with purpose.
There were other celeb offspring as well ... Busy Philipps' daughter, Birdie, and Sara Foster's daughter, Valentina, were also front and center at the children's fashion event.
Kim and Kanye have been in Chicago and have been spending lots of time there ... this after Kanye said he and the fam were moving to Chicago. As we reported, they will keep their L.A. home and shuttle back and forth, but Kanye's serious about planting roots in the Windy City.

Cardi B, Nicki Minaj Take Their Feud on the Road ... Both in Milan
Cardi B has just flown thousands of miles and landed in Milan where a possible re-match with her mortal enemy, Nicki Minaj, could happen ... TMZ has learned.
Cardi showed up in Milan for Fashion Week. Nicki arrived 3 days ago.
Cardi and her team have not announced her arrival, although she certainly dropped hints by posting a pic of a gift basket that has Italy written all over it.
It's certainly interesting ... everyone knows what happened earlier this month at the Harper's Bazaar party during New York Fashion Week, where Cardi tried to attack Nicki and threw a shoe at her. Cardi's the one who ended up injured with a giant lump on her head as she hobbled out of the party on one shoe.
It's unclear if Nicki knew Cardi would show.
We're told so far Cardi and Nicki have not interacted, but we're on the lookout.

Cardi B's gonna have to share the spotlight ... but she probably won't mind, 'cause it's with her sister.
Hennessy Carolina just hit the runway at a SUPER big fashion show -- the Philipp Plein Show at Milan Fashion Week. If you're out of the fashion loop ... Philipp Plein's a famous German designer who also has a stake in popular clothing brand Billionaire Couture.
Hennessy -- who has appeared on "Love & Hip Hop" with Cardi -- has done some shows here and there, but this is the first time she's gotten a chance to walk the runway in a massively important show.
Also at the show were Tekashi69 and Chris Brown. They were there to perform. But, no doubt the show belonged to Hennessy. Congrats!!

Anwar Hadid Huge Hickey ... Hooking Up With Kendall???
Here's Anwar Hadid just trying to keep his love life on the down-low during Milan Fashion Week and ... JUST KIDDING, LOOK AT THAT HUGE HICKEY ON HIS NECK!!!!
The young model is apparently having a great time in Italy, but the love scar has us wondering who left it there? Anwar has a long hookup history with fellow models ... and guess which famous former flame was also in Milan? Kendall Jenner!
Remember, back in the summer, Anwar and Kendall were sucking face at an after-party.
He's definitely not trying to hide the evidence of a steamy night with someone -- so, maybe it was Kendall's handiwork ... or maybe he's just letting her know she missed out.
One thing's for sure ... Anwar's gonna need a cold spoon, 'cause that hickey's not going anywhere soon.

Olivia Culpo Drop. Dead. Gorg. ... at Paris Fashion Week
Olivia Culpo might as well have shut down Paris Fashion Week ... it ain't gonna get better than this little black dress.
The former Miss Universe slipped into the little black dress of all little black dresses Thursday in Paris during fashion week. Guessing she most likely brought traffic to a standstill when she crossed the street.
The dress itself is stunning ... over the shoulder ruffles, tight and short. Add the perfect clutch, heels and bracelets and you've got the most beautiful woman in the world. Literally.
Just when you thought Olivia draped in latex from head to toe couldn't get better.

Ariana Grande Be Big, Be Bold ... Be Smelling Good with My Perfume!!!
Ariana Grande wants folks smelling sweet and dandy with a new line of perfume that's got her name slapped all over it in GRANDE letters ... TMZ has learned.
AG's company, GrandAri Inc., recently filed paperwork to lock up the rights to the phrase "Be Grande" for use on a number of fragrance products, including perfume, cologne, body lotions, bath gels, shower gels, body scrubs, body souffles and body mists.
In other words ... it looks like men AND women could "Be Grande" if her application is approved. That's a sweet(ener) gesture on her part -- especially since she's already got a gender-neutral fragrance on the shelves. In fact, Ari's got a total of 5 perfumes under her belt ... with a new one called "CLOUD" that just dropped this week. She teased "CLOUD" on IG earlier this summer.
A NEW PERFUME YAYA ARIANA YOUR SPOILING US NOW:) THIS WILL BE ONE TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION HEHE @ArianaGrande pic.twitter.com/UfkVLbCoco
@thelightisrhi
Presumably, "Be Grande" would be her sixth fragrance installment. Sounds Smells good to us!

Lewis says she was swimming the other day when she started brainstorming fashion ideas that would be "meaningful" on the red carpet ... and that's when Nike came to mind.
"I'll wear Nike to say 'thank you' ... thank you for leading the resistance. We need more of corporate America to stand up also."
She added, "Thank you, Colin. Thank you for all that you do. Thank you for being brave. Thank you for taking a knee. Thank you."
Nike signed Colin to a new deal recently -- and will be dropping everything from a new custom shoe to a Kaepernick-themed apparel line.

J. Alexander Slick Woods & RiRi Changed Fashion With Near-Runway Birth
J. Alexander says the pregnant model who went into labor during Rihanna's fashion show has changed the runway game for good -- which will help models of all sizes.
We got America's favorite runway coach and judge from 'ANTM' at LAX, where we asked if Slick Woods revolutionized the fashion industry by walking the Savage x Fenty runway at 9 months pregnant, going into labor backstage and delivering her baby all in a 14-hour time span.
J. says she absolutely has, and RiRi's responsible for putting her in a position of trailblazing.
He explains because Rihanna doesn't play by the rules and hires models with varying body types -- and at varying stages of life (in and out of the womb) -- designers will follow suit, and models will get more gigs. It's a win-win for everyone, really.
There's also this -- J. tells us he wants to see a delivery right there on the runway floor next time ... just to up the ante.
Here's our reaction to that suggestion.

DeSean Jackson I'm Fitzpatrick's Stylist Now! Gotta Keep Him Conor McGregor Fresh!
DeSean Jackson says Ryan Fitzpatrick looked SO GOOD in his borrowed clothes after Sunday's game ... he's gonna make it his mission to keep him fresh all season long!!
TMZ Sports spoke with the Bucs star WR after he lit up the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday -- a team he takes great pleasure in torching ever since they let him go back in 2014.
"It felt like no other, bro" DeSean said when asked about that 75 yard TD on the first play of the game ... "It was like surreal. It was a great feeling."
Jackson says the whole team is in a good place after the win -- but tells us they're staying focused on the long-term goal, "We're not peaking too soon."
As for Fitzpatrick, DeSean says he's been getting high praise for the way he dressed up his QB after the game ... some even compared Fitz to Conor McGregor ... so DJ says he's gotta keep the tradition going!
"I had him looking fresh ... I might [have to dress him] every week!"
We also talked about Jameis Winston -- and how he's handling watching the team kill it while he serves his 3-game suspension.
Jackson says Jameis has been nothing but supportive and the team can't wait to have him back.
As for who will get the starting nod once Jameis returns ... DJ says, "I'm not sure how that's going to play out."
DeSean's a busy man these days ... he's also launching his own podcast, "One-on-One" -- where he drills down on everything from the national anthem demonstrations to Serena Williams.

Adele Massive Malibu Cover-up!!!
Adele walked out of a fancy Malibu restaurant on what may have been the most beautiful evening of the summer, but by the looks of it, she was ready for a storm.
The singer's head was almost fully covered Saturday night as she left Nobu by the beach. You see a sliver of hair, but that's about it.
She's with a guy, who looks like he may be security.
It's interesting ... Adele has not been much in public. You'll recall she said a while back she was done with touring. In fact, she canceled the 2 final shows of last year's tour.
She's said she wanted to spend more time with her family.

Jason Wu on Meghan Markle Not Sure If She's Pregnant ... But, She's Easy to Work With!!!
Meghan Markle is a royal, so you could forgive her for being high maintenance when it comes to picking an ensemble, but designer Jason Wu says she's easy like Sunday morning when it comes to fashion.
We got Jason Wednesday at LAX ... and he tells us Meghan simply picked out a dress from his upcoming spring collection to wear to a charity concert in London.
There's been speculation Meghan might be pregnant based on the fit of that dress, but Jason says he isn't privy to that royal secret ... IF it's true.
The royal clothing budget for Meghan, Prince Harry, Prince William and Kate Middleton has reportedly increased by $2 million to a whopping $6.5 mil -- which certainly doesn't sound low maintenance, but Jason says that ain't on Meghan.
Meghan is a fashion icon now and has been compared to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Di famously poured over fabrics and designs in Kensington Palace -- but Jason says Meghan's just not that picky. Everyone's different.
Still, it's easy to see why Jason is dying to work with Meghan again.

Lena Dunham Revolve Screwed Me With 'Fat is Not Beautiful' Sweatshirt
9/14 -- Revolve issued an apology, saying, "We messed up big. We are SO SORRY for hurting and offending you." They go on to say they have canceled the line and are donating $20k to Girls Write Now -- the charity that was going to benefit from sales of the sweatshirt.
Lena Dunham is backing up the bus over Revolve ... saying the company essentially stabbed her in the back when it put her "Fat is not Beautiful" sweatshirt on a skinny white chick.
Lena says she had teamed with Revolve to roll out the shirts which read, "Fat is not beautiful it's an excuse." She says the intent was to reclaim the hateful phrases Internet trolls use -- a la rappers using the n-word.
But, she says that all backfired when the clothing company "presented the sweatshirts on thin white women." Lena says that destroyed any attempt to reclaim the phrase because ... well, now it just seems mean. She's right. It ain't a great look.
LOLLLLL @REVOLVE y’all are a mess. pic.twitter.com/CrzOkd5oE4
@Tess_Holliday
The backlash was immediate, and even though plus-size model Tess Holiday seemed to laugh it off -- Revolve pulled the ad featuring the skinny white model ... then started the damage control. It says it's donating $20k to a young women's charity.
By the way, the sweatshirt cost $168 and had already sold out by the time the ad was pulled.
We haven't seen a clothing retail PR disaster this big since way back in early 2018 ... when H&M pulled this racist "monkey" business.
