The answer

It is not permissible for a man or a woman to watch fashion shows performed by immoral women, because they entail corrupting influences, among them: looking at prohibited awrah (private parts), becoming attached to immoral women, and imitating them in their walk and adornment, which is the prohibited imitation that we have been forbidden from; as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever imitates a people is one of them," and his saying: "Whoever is pleased with the عمل (deeds) of a people is one of them." And looking is considered metaphorical zina (fornication/adultery), as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, informed us: "The zina of the eyes is looking."
