BEIJING, Aug. 6 -- Tom Cruise amazed co-stars with his fancy footwork in "Tropic Thunder." The actor plays a balding computer geek and studio boss in the new comedy, and performs a hip-hop dance for party guests during his brief cameo.

His co-star Robert Downey Jr. said: "He's a very good, excellent dancer. I'll tip my hat to Tom." Cruise famously danced in 1983's "Risky Business" and apparently hasn't lost his touch.

Co-star Jack Black added: "The fact that he came in and in six days of shooting made that kind of impact? I'd say per hour, he was the big winner in 'Tropic Thunder'."

However, producer, writer and star of the movie Ben Stiller revealed fans will also be shocked by Cruise's "colorful language" on screen.

The "Meet the Parents" actor added: "We knew we were locked into an R-rating from the language in the beginning of the movie anyway, from all the war movie dialogue. "You just have to do that if you're doing a war movie. I think a lot of these studio guys talk like that. I know from personal experience. I have heard people in movie studios curse."

Her winning entry Under Skin was a sexy ensemble portraying the face of a crying woman and she explained that her inspiration came from the delicate inner world of Asian women.

"When women feel like crying, they tend to hide it," she said. "What this kind of emotion and lingerie have in common is that both are only revealed to the important person in a woman's life. My lingerie illustrated this."

Female Fascination was the theme of this year's competition and creativeness was the key for the judges.

The panel included the Dutch design duo Viktor & Rolf, Danish top model Helena Christensen, German fashion photography icon Ellen von Unwty Rerth, Colette's chief purchaser and creative director Sarah and Chinese top model and actress Lu Yan.

Runner-up Theresa Bachler from Germany said she had been inspired by the glamour of the 1930s. Her showpiece, named Once Upon a Time, carried a nostalgic touch of romance and elegance.

"I am impressed by 'the little black dress' - back in 1935, Vogue magazine said nothing else in fashion was as new," Bachler said. "Thus I use a lot of high-quality fabric, such as silk and lace, with modern cutting to represent such ideas in my lingerie."

Stine Fagervik-Rosen, 28, from Norway, was third with Desire for Beautiful Trash, fusing innovation with ideas gleaned from second-hand shops.

"My inspiration comes from the atmosphere and fascination I experience while shopping," she said. "I love the way the elements - clothes, furniture, art and jewelry with their lively colors - are mixed and keep the balance of the chaos, and the way every element tells me its hidden story."

China's Lu Ye made the top 10 with a feather-inspired collection, and her country earned praise from Jan Rosenberg, the sales and marketing at Triumph International.

"Chinese designers are showing much more creativity than before," he said. "For instance, the graceful material cascade in Lu's design is really touching."

Fashion veteran Victor and Rolf paid tribute to the innovations shown by all the finalists: "What we love most is the fact that the designers freed themselves of the commercial side of things - almost no restraints were put on their creativity. "
