The remainder of the trailer teases drama among the designers —and with the judges. Contestants vying to win season 21 of Project Runway include RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Ethan Mundt, season seven’s Jesus Estrada, season 19’s Caycee Black, Alex Foxworth, Angelo Rosa, Antonio Estrada (Jesus’ twin), Belania Daley, Joan Madison, Joseph McRae, Madeline Malenfant, Veejay Floresca and Yuchen Han.
The trailer, too, teased a star-studded slate of guest judges, including Christian Cowan, Harris Reed, Jenna Lyons, Joan Smalls, Michael Kors, Mickey Guyton, Nikki Glaser, Sara Foster, Sofía Vergara, Tyra Banks and Zac Posen.
The forthcoming season notably marks Klum’s return as host after she exited the series in 2018. She left the show alongside its longtime mentor Tim Gunn as they pivoted to host their Amazon series Making the Cut.
