Finola Hughes Takes Us 'Running In Heels'

Co-produced by Hughes, Running in Heels follows the staff at women's magazine Marie Claire. The reality show focuses on the personal and professional dynamics of a group of three ambitious fashionista interns, Talita, Ashley and Samantha, and their interactions with Marie Claire's senior fashion and shopping editors, and of course, the magazine's editor-in-chief Joanna Coles. The show premieres March 1 at 8pm.

Along with Berman/Braun Productions, Hughes also co-produced and hosts The Cool Girl Hate Club, a docu-series which follows Indiana University graduates to Gotham.

British-born Hughes is an Emmy-award winning actress who broke into the business with her first big American film, Staying Alive--playing the diva dancer who bumps egos with John Travolta in the sequel to 1977's classic Saturday Night Fever. When the film failed to reap much at the box office, Hughes turned to acting in daytime dramas, such as General Hospital. She also hosts the Style Network’s popular makeover series How Do I Look?, has developed a jewelry line for QVC, and released a book with Ballantine Books titled Soapsuds.
