The Beautiful Life Season 1 Episode 1: "The Pilot" airs tonight, september 16th, 2009 on the CW.

Episode Description: Raina Marinelli (Sara Paxton) is a stunning beauty with a secret past who makes an unforgettable impression while strutting down the runway in a Zac Posen gown during New York Fashion Week, and effectively steals the spotlight away from fellow model Sonja Stone (Mischa Barton). Sonja has been out of the country for mysterious reasons, and is now desperate to convince her agent, Claudia Foster (Elle Macpherson) that she can reclaim her standing as the reigning supermodel. Deemed the new “it” girl, Raina soon meets Chris Andrews (Ben Hollingsworth), a strikingly handsome Iowa farm boy just entering the modeling world, and takes him to the “models’ residence” where she lives along with other young hopefuls, including Marissa Delfina (Ashley Madekwe), Isaac Taylor (Corbin Bleu) and the current alpha-male model known as Cole Shepherd (Nico Tortorella).
