"The New Salad Collection from Wendy's" campaign – a partnership with fashion site Polyvore– allows consumers to create online style boards inspired by the bold flavors and vibrant colors of Wendy's new salads for a chance to win their fashion finds. As contest judge, Sims, who is also a philanthropist, wife and mother, will choose her favorite style expressions that embody the colors and personalities of Wendy's new salads.

"Fashion inspiration can come from anywhere – even your Wendy's salad," said Sims. "I love how Wendy's is rolling out their new salads like a fashion line and can't wait to see how fashion lovers like me are inspired by them."

Sims unveiled her own Polyvore style boards inspired by the obsession-worthy salads at the event to encourage fashionistas everywhere to participate. Guests enjoyed Wendy's new premium salads and interacted with larger-than-life style boards to create their own salad-inspired looks.
