Tyra Banks and Jenna Lyons Among Project Runway Guest Judges for Season 21
Season 21 of Project Runway is coming soon! Not only did we just learn the lineup of contestants, but Freeform also just announced the slate of guest judges. The panel is about to be star-studded when the show returns this summer. They've tapped celebs from all across the worlds of fashion and media, including Tyra Banks and Jenna Lyons. Check out the full lineup below.
E! News dropped all of the tea about the upcoming season of Project Runway, which features two past contestants and a RuPaul's Drag Race alum. Heidi Klum will lead the show, with Nina Garcia and Law Roach serving as judges. Christian Siriano is going to be a mentor for the designers in the workroom.
That's already a solid lineup, but the guest judges are like the icing on the cake. Tyra, who hosted America's Next Top Model for ages, will bring her expertise to the panel in addition to Jenna, who leveraged her J. Crew success into a stint on The Real Housewives of New York.
Other A-listers slated to appear throughout the season include Sofia Vergara, Joan Smalls, Mickey Guyton, and Nikki Glaser. Plus, there are a ton of famous designers like Christian Cowan and Michael Kors. Freeform is pulling out all of the stops to make sure the show's jump from Bravo is successful.
In an interview with E! News, Christian teased the dynamic on the judges' panel. He said that fans can expect to see Law delivering his signature, unfiltered commentary. And since everyone has different tastes, some of the judges don't always see eye to eye.
He teased, 'Having Law as a judge is incredible, because you're getting very real fashion in the moment.'
'It's incredible Heidi being back makes it so fun and amazing,' Christian continued. 'Her and Law don't like the same things, and Nina doesn't like the same things.'
Project Runway returns Thursday, July 31, at 9/8c. on Freeform.

Harvey Weinstein's New York Case Isn't Over Yet
There's one conviction in Harvey Weinstein's New York criminal case, but the saga continues. A jury of 12 had found Weinstein guilty Wednesday of one count of a criminal sexual act against former Project Runway assistant Miriam Haley, but not guilty of the other count of a criminal sexual act against former model Kaja Sokola. More from The Hollywood Reporter Harvey Weinstein Gets Mistrial on Rape Charge After Threats to Jury Foreperson Harvey Weinstein Trial Witnesses React to Mixed Verdict, See Win for #MeToo Movement Harvey Weinstein Receives Mixed Partial Verdict as Deliberations Heat Up in Criminal Case The jurors were sent home Wednesday afternoon, amid inflamed tensions and one juror saying he was being threatened by others, with plans to resume deliberating the next day on the remaining charge of rape in the third degree. However, on Thursday, the juror refused to return to the deliberation room and a mistrial was called on that charge. Prosecutors said they plan to retry Weinstein on the rape charge. The criminal sexual act conviction is a higher felony charge than rape in the third degree and carries a maximum prison sentence of 25 years. Asked why the Manhattan District Attorney's office was still pursuing the retrial charge – which will be Weinstein's third trial on that charge – DA Alvin Bragg said it was on behalf of Jessica Mann, who was the complaining witness on that charge. 'It's about the survivors and, yes, Harvey Weinstein is going to be held accountable for his conduct as to Ms. Haley, and he's facing a very significant term of imprisonment for that, but the jury was not able to reach a conclusion as to Ms. Mann, and she deserves that,' Bragg said. 'I will never give up on myself and making sure my voice – and the truth – is heard. I have told the District Attorney I am ready, willing and able to endure this as many times as it takes for justice and accountability to be served. Today is not the end of my fight,' Mann said in a statement. Mann also testified in Weinstein's 2020 trial, making this upcoming trial her third time on the stand. The verdict in Weinstein's 2020 rape and criminal sexual assault conviction was overturned in April 2024 after the court of appeals found the trial prejudiced Weinstein with improper rulings, including allowing women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case. Conversely, Weinstein's attorney, Arthur Aidala, said his team is continuing to look into juror misconduct and file motions with Judge Curtis Farber to bring the jurors back in and try to find out what happened in the jury room. (He pushed for this many times over the past few days, but was denied by Farber.) 'None of us have ever heard of that, where a jury is so intimidating, a grown man who was in good physical shape in his late 30s, [says], 'I'm afraid to go back into the deliberating room'. If that doesn't cast doubt on the verdicts here, I don't know what would, so this is not over,' Aidala told press outside the courthouse. The goal is to get the conviction thrown out. However, the jury had reached unanimous verdicts on the other two counts, and the foreperson had said in court that he was not coerced into those decisions. If that doesn't happen, Aidala plans to appeal Weinstein's conviction on the one felony charge. He added that he did not know whether Weinstein will remain at Bellevue Hospital, where he's been throughout the trial, or return to Rikers. Aidala's team has repeatedly pointed to their client's poor health over the past months, and he said that would also be something they bring up during sentencing. Weinstein also still faces a 16-year prison sentence in California, after being convicted in 2022 of rape and other sex crimes. Aidala's team has also appealed that conviction. 'Mr. Weinstein started off with a 23-year prison term when we left here on March 11 of [2020]. Those numbers are now out the window,' Aidala said. 'Of course, Mr. Weinstein is disappointed. He has maintained his innocence from the day I met him in 2019. In 2020, when I sat next to when the verdict came in guilty on [Miriam Haley] he said to me, 'How could this happen? I'm innocent. I'm innocent.' He basically said the same thing yesterday to Mr. Cibella who sat next to him.'

Harvey Weinstein Gets Mistrial on Rape Charge After Threats to Jury Foreperson
Harvey Weinstein's rape charge ended in mistrial after the jury foreperson refused to return to the jury room Thursday after saying he faced threats from other jurors. The 12-person jury in Weinstein's trial had found him guilty Wednesday of one count of a criminal sexual act against former Project Runway assistant Miriam Haley, but not guilty of the other count of a criminal sexual act against former model Kaja Sokola. More from The Hollywood Reporter Harvey Weinstein Trial Witnesses React to Mixed Verdict, See Win for #MeToo Movement Harvey Weinstein Receives Mixed Partial Verdict as Deliberations Heat Up in Criminal Case Jurors Raise Concerns About Harvey Weinstein Deliberations After the mistrial was declared, prosecutors said Thursday that they plan to retry Weinstein on the rape charge, related to aspiring actress Jessica Mann, and that 'she is ready and willing and wants to retry this count.' A July 2 hearing has been set on that charge. Weinstein faced one charge of rape in the third degree and two charges of criminal sexual act in the first degree, which is the higher felony charge and carries a maximum prison sentence of 25 years. The rape charge carries a sentence of up to four years. On Wednesday, the jury had yet to reach a verdict on rape in the third degree, but jurors were sent home midday amid concerns about fighting and tensions in the jury room. They had been in the midst of their fifth day of deliberations. The jury foreperson had sent a note Wednesday afternoon asking to speak to the judge and then told the attorneys and Judge Curtis Farber: 'I feel afraid inside there. I can't be inside there.' He added that other jurors had been trying to get him to change his decision, and, when he had refused, had said 'Oh we will see you outside,' and that he was concerned for his own safety. When the foreperson was asked Thursday if he would return to the jury room, he told the court, 'No, I'm sorry.' However, Farber spoke with the others jurors after the mistrial was declared Thursday and said 'they were extremely disappointed' that deliberations had not continued and that 'They don't understand why the foreperson bowed out.' Jury tensions had reached such a fever pitch Wednesday that Weinstein himself addressed the court, urging the judge for a mistrial. His request was denied at the time. 'This is not right for me, the person who is on trial here,' Weinstein said Wednesday. 'This is my life that's on the line, and you know what? It's not fair. It's simple. It's just not fair.' The foreperson, who is charged with speaking on behalf of the jury, then returned to court after the jury had been dismissed Wednesday and implied that he did not want to go back into the deliberation room Thursday. He returned to court, but was being kept separately from the other jurors Thursday morning. On Monday morning, the foreperson had also asked to speak to the judge and said that jurors were considering elements from Weinstein's past that weren't being used as evidence in the trial and weren't part of the charged crimes. Another juror, who was juror No. 7 on this case and the youngest on the jury, had asked to address the court twice Friday, first saying he had heard jurors discussing another juror in the courtroom elevators, and then asking to be excused from the jury as he did not feel the process was 'fair,' while staring at the defense table. 'If you're a deliberating juror you have to be punched in the face in order for it to rise to the level of a real threat,' Weinstein's attorney, Arthur Aidala said Thursday, while urging the judge to call for mistrial before the juror entered. 'It's insane in the membrane, insane on the brain.' All of this comes after Weinstein's 2020 rape and criminal sexual assault conviction was overturned in April 2024 after the court of appeals found the trial prejudiced Weinstein with improper rulings, including allowing women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case. In the 2020 trial, Weinstein received a mixed verdict with the jury finding Weinstein guilty of the crimes against Haley and Mann, but also acquitting Weinstein of first-degree rape and predatory sexual assault related to other women. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg pursued the retrial of Weinstein shortly after his conviction was overturned. In this trial, Mann had testified that she had first met Weinstein around 2013 at a party in Hollywood. After later attending his Oscars party, Mann said she was invited by Weinstein up to his hotel room, where he said he wanted to give Mann and her friend a script for Vampire Academy. There, Weinstein performed unwanted oral sex on her. After that incident, Mann said she decided to embark on a relationship with him. 'I just thought it would take the pain away,' Mann said on the stand. The charge relates to an alleged incident with Weinstein in a Manhattan hotel in March 2013. At the time, Mann was visiting New York City with friends and said she had arranged to meet Weinstein for breakfast, along with her friends, but found that he had arrived early at her hotel and was in the process of booking a hotel room. Despite her protests, Weinstein booked the room and she followed him upstairs. Once there, she claims he repeatedly held the door shut as she tried to leave and said she didn't want to do this, while he grabbed her arms and told her to undress. She did so, and said Weinstein then went to the bathroom and injected himself with a substance which she later found was to treat erectile dysfunction, and then performed unwanted penetrative sex on her.
