Heidi Klum is reportedly sashaying back to Project Runway! Yes, the queen of “Auf Wiedersehen” might soon reclaim her throne, and honestly, it’s about time. After all, who else can command a catwalk and a cutting room like Heidi? (Sorry, Karlie Kloss, but you had big stilettos to fill.)
For those of you counting (and we know you are), Heidi hosted Project Runway for a jaw-dropping 16 seasons from 2004 to 2017. That’s 16 seasons of dramatic hems, tears over tulle, and enough fashion faux pas to make anyone clutch their pearls. She then handed over the glitter baton to Karlie Kloss, who hosted for two seasons before Christian Siriano—Project Runway’s very own glow-up story—stepped in for seasons 19 and 20.
Now, as Season 21 prepares to strut its stuff, word on the runway (aka a report from People) says Heidi is slipping back into the spotlight. What will her role be? Will she host? Judge? Just stand there being fabulous? The details are as mysterious as an avant-garde challenge.
The fashion frenzy doesn’t stop there. The show itself is getting a makeover! After announcing its return in October 2024, Project Runway will now grace the screens of Freeform, which probably means even more dramatic music and way more Zoomer-friendly edits.
As for the rest of the cast—judges, mentors, and random celebrity guests? Still a mystery. But rest assured, Heidi’s mere presence guarantees drama, flair, and at least one designer having a meltdown over poorly executed pleats.
Stay tuned for updates, because you know we’ll be watching this runway like hawks in feathered couture.
