Heidi Klum Returns to 'Project Runway' after a Four-Year Absence, Anticipated to Premiere on July 31
Veteran model Heidi Klum is set to make a much-celebrated return to the US designer competition series 'Project Runway', following a four-year hiatus. In an interview with People magazine, the 51-year-old expressed that her return felt like coming back home. Hosting the show for 13 years and 16 seasons, Klum will again take the helm for the 21st season.
Klum shared her sentiments regarding the hosting role, stating, "I can do this with my eyes closed, although I'm judging clothes - so I have to keep my eyes open. But I can do it with my eyes closed." The season premiere is scheduled for the end of July.
The design enthusiast voiced her admiration for the contestants' enthusiasm and aspiration to make their mark in the fashion world. Klum mentioned, "I love fashion so much, and I love how interested they are and how they're champing at the bit to get a spot in the fashion industry. So, it's so fun to give them a platform to show what they can do."
Although she expressed a preference for longer gowns, Klum emphasized that each contestant should wear what they feel comfortable in. "Everyone should wear what they want. That's what makes us unique and special; rules aren't the way to go."
The forthcoming season of 'Project Runway' will be airing on Freeform, with episodes available for streaming on Hulu and Disney+ post-broadcast. Joining Klum in her judging panel will be Nina Garcia and Law Roach, while Christian Siriano, a 'Project Runway' winner, will serve as mentor to the contestants. Overall, the season will comprise ten episodes, with a two-episode premiere slated for July 31, 2025, at 9 PM ET on Freeform, followed by weekly episodes at 10 PM ET.
Heidi Klum's return to 'Project Runway', following a hiatus, is generating excitement within the world of movies-and-tv and entertainment, especially within the USA and Germany, her home countries. As the designer competition series premiers on July 31, fans are eagerly anticipating the fusion of Klum's fashion expertise with the aspiring talents on television.
