Project Runway: Christian Siriano to Serve as Mentor in Tim Gunn's Absence — Who Else Is Returning?
A couple of familiar faces are joining Heidi Klum when Project Runway returns this summer for Season 21. Christian Siriano and Nina Garcia are both returning to the franchise, alongside new judge and fashion trendsetter Law Roach, Disney announced Monday.
Siriano (who was the winner of the show's fourth season) originally replaced Tim Gunn as the designers' mentor in 2018 after Klum and Gunn both departed for Prime Video's Making the Cut. Garcia, who is the editor in chief of the U.S. edition of ELLE, has been a judge on series since it launched in 2004.

Newcomer and celebrity stylist Roach is best known for working with clients such as Zendaya, Céline Dion and Anya Taylor-Joy. He served as a judge for Seasons 23-24 of America's Next Top Model, before guest-judging on Project Runway in Season 20. Roach also serves as a rotating judge on RuPaul's Drag Race.
The new season of Project Runway — which was first announced in October — begins production Monday, and will air on Freeform weekly this summer. Episodes will then be made available for streaming on Disney+ and Hulu shortly after. Additional special guest judges will be announced at a later time.
Although Klum is back as host, her cohort Gunn will not be back. Gunn says Klum reached out to him to see if he was interested in joining her, and he was: 'Of course, there's not a moment of hesitation in me.' But months went by, and he didn't receive a contract offer when Klum did, so Gunn called his agent. 'He contacted the executive producers of this new show, and they said, 'We don't want him,'' Gunn recalls. 'So I wasn't asked back.' The producers did offer Gunn to make a cameo, but he turned that down: 'As Heidi would say, you're either in or you're out. And I'm out.'

Shop The Exact Fashion In 'And Just Like That...' Season 3 – Carrie's Most Maximalist Looks Yet
And Just Like That... has returned for Season 3, and like the rest of its loyal fans, we're as captivated by the will-they, won't-they long distance travails of Carrie and Aidan as the outfits our protagonist – alongside Charlotte, Miranda, Lisa and Seema – will be wearing. The Sex and the City revival continues to deliver viral fashion moments with aplomb (see the enormous gingham hat sported by Carrie in episode 1) while advancing the style evolution of our favourite trio. Miranda now favours quiet luxury (Loro Piana checked coat incoming), Charlotte is staying true to her Upper East Side preppy and Carrie's outfits are more eclectic than ever. Costume Designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago continue to helm the show, having worked alongside Patricia Field on Sex and the City. On approaching styling for the reboot, Rogers told The Golden Globes: 'The girls were so excited to be back, like we never left. It was the same atmosphere, the same energy. They loved to look through the racks and pull things up and we'd all look in the mirror with the same critical eye and say, 'That needs to be shorter, or that's not flattering...' We did a vote. It was really collaborative and fun.' FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Summing up their individual style, Rogers shares: 'I'd like to describe Carrie as whimsical, the best word for Charlotte is polished, and Miranda, she's more relaxed now.' Following its return to screens (stream AJLT on Sky and Now TV in the UK with new episodes every Friday ), we've spotted Charlotte in Veronica Beard, Roger Vivier and Marni with Miranda opting for neutral creams and grey, plus earthy tones of green while dating Rosie O'Donnell's Sister Mary. Meanwhile Carrie's looks are among her most maximalist yet, with a beautifully romantic rose-embedded Simone Rocha runway dress and jacket worn to send lovelorn postcards to Aidan, and a print clash pairing of a graphic print cotton top and some Zimmermann silk capri pants. Moving on from her beloved Manolos, Ms Bradshaw favours Aquazurra heels this season, worn for five outfits so far and counting. Reassuming its position as one of the most closely followed, imaginatively styled and widely debated comedy dramas of our time, we've rounded up the best looks, viral moments and exact matches from And Just Like That... season three. Never knowingly overdressed, Carrie wears Simone Rocha's beautifully romantic SS24 dress and jacket straight from the runway to write and send Aidan's heart-emblazoned postcard. The corseted dress is decorated with 3D roses on the bodice and hips, while the gauzy jacket has a utilitarian feel with pockets and an oversized hood. She pairs them with bejewelled Aquazurra So Nude sandals. While the exact dress isn't available you can shop similar from the designer. In the most outlandish outfit of the episode, Carrie goes maximal in a huge gingham hat by Maryam Keyhani, worn with a multi-coloured striped Ossie Clarke dress (which with AJLT's costume designers drew comparisons to Carrie's striped strapless dress in SATC Season 6, Episode 1). White Dr. Scholl sliders and a Pierre Cardin navy logoed cross-body bag add a touch of practicality to the now-viral look. Charlotte pairs a high neck polkadot blouse with smart black trousers and Jennifer Chamandi heels (the exact pair later spotted on Lisa Todd Wexley) for a trip to the vets. You can shop her exact heels and bag now. Miranda opts for an olive Weekend Max Mara jumpsuit to meet Carrie and Charlotte for drinks, and you can shop the exact style now. As Lisa attends husband Herbert's campaign event, Nicole Ari Parker stuns in a citrus brights La Double J column dress worn with a Bottega bag, both of which you can shop now. While Carrie seeks advice on her phone sex fail with Aidan, Charlotte stays true to her roots in a floral print Marni dress, available to shop in sale now. Dressed for what we assume is a date night, Carrie stuns in an crystal embellished Alex Perry dress which sold out as soon as paparazzi captured filming. Dubbed 'the new Carrie dress' it is worn with a silver diamanté bag and another pair of Aquazurra heels. Shop a version of it now.

‘Lilo & Stitch' Hits The Top 10 As The Movie Dominates The Box Office
After less than a month in theaters, Lilo & Stitch is already the third highest-grossing film of 2025. The live-action remake of the Disney animated classic has so far brought in more than $600 million globally, and it will likely continue to meaningfully add to that sum as the film remains a must-see for entire families. The music featured in the updated Lilo & Stitch is also proving successful. In the United Kingdom this week, the soundtrack debuts on two rankings. Due to its length, it's not classified as an album. Instead, it opens inside the top 10 on both the Official Vinyl Singles chart and the Official Physical Singles list, as EPs sometimes count as "singles." The project launches at No. 8 on the vinyl-only tally and No. 9 on the list of the top-selling releases across all physical formats. Both charts' top 10s include a number of new arrivals that land just ahead of Lilo & Stitch. Those efforts include cuts by artists like Pulp, Olivia Dean, and Senses, while popular past releases from acts such as Oasis, Ed Sheeran, and Madonna rebound and place just ahead of the Disney set. The vinyl edition of the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack features just three songs. On side A is "He Lei Pāpahi No Lilo a me Stitch" by Mark Kealiʻi Hoʻomalu and the Kamehameha Schools Children's Chorus, a brand new composition crafted for this updated version of the movie. Joining it on the front side is a cover of "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride," a beloved tune this time performed by American Idol winner Iam Tongi and, again, the Kamehameha Schools Children's Chorus. Side B includes a rendition of "Burning Love," originally made famous by Elvis Presley. This version is covered by Nyjah Music and Zyah Rhythm and produced by their uncle, superstar Bruno Mars. A score was also released alongside the Lilo & Stitch score, which was composed by Dan Romer this time around. Some versions of the soundtrack include both the trio of tracks as well as instrumental versions.

Chaos, Combat & Charisma: Prime Video Releases The Final Electrifying Trailer For ‘Heads Of State' Starring Idris Elba & John Cena
Source: Cortesty / Amazon MGM Studios Today (June 4th), Prime Video shared the second and final trailer for one of the most highly anticipated films of the summer. Continue reading to check it out! In the action-comedy Heads of State , the UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) and U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena) have a not-so-friendly and very public rivalry that jeopardizes their countries' 'special relationship.' But when they become the targets of a powerful and ruthless foreign adversary—who proves more than a match for the two leaders' security forces—they are begrudgingly forced to rely on the only two people they can trust: each other. Ultimately allied with the brilliant MI6 agent Noel Bisset, they must go on the run and find a way to work together long enough to thwart a global conspiracy that threatens the entire free world. On top of Elba ( The Wire, Takers, Hobbs & Shaw, The Harder They Fall ) and Cena ( Daddy's Home 2, F9, The Suicide Squad ), the film also stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas ( Baywatch, The Matrix Resurrections, Citadel ), Paddy Considine, Stephen Root ( King of the Hill, Dodgeball, Get Out ), Carla Gugino ( Spy Kids trilogy, American Gangster, Night at the Museum ), Jack Quaid ( The Boys, Oppenheimer, Novocaine ) and Sarah Niles ( I May Destroy You, Ted Lasso ). Ilya Naishuller ( Hardcore Henry, Nobody ) directed Heads of State from a screenplay by Josh Appelbaum & André Nemec and Harrison Query, and story from Query. The film was produced by Peter Safran and John Rickard, with Marcus Viscidi, Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec, Elba and Cena serving as executive producers. Heads of State will premiere globally on Prime Video July 2nd, 2025. In the meantime, check out the final trailer (and the first one) and some first look images from the action packed comedy below!
