IT’S OFFICIAL: Project Runway Locks in Judges Panel — Is Law Roach the Most Shocking Name Yet?

Project Runway Judges & Host (Confirmed)

• Heidi Klum — returning as host and judge, a long-time face of the franchise.

• Nina Garcia — ELLE editor-in-chief, long-time mainstay on the judging panel.

• Law Roach — celebrity stylist and fashion icon, joining the panel as a judge alongside Heidi and Nina.

• Christian Siriano — winner of Project Runway Season 4, serving as mentor (and also executive producer).

Law Roach first joined the Project Runway judging panel in Season 21, bringing his fashion-world expertise and bold opinions to the show — and according to the newest reports about Season 22 (slated for 2026), he’s expected to return again, alongside Heidi, Nina, and Christian.

🌟 What This Means

Law Roach’s inclusion — especially as a recurring judge — wasn’t widely predicted early on by all fans, since he is primarily known as a celebrity stylist rather than a fashion designer. But his strong presence on social media and reality TV judging platforms (including RuPaul’s Drag Race) made him an exciting and notable choice for Project Runway.

Overall, the panel combines:

• Heidi Klum’s runway and hosting legacy

• Nina Garcia’s editorial fashion expertise

• Christian Siriano’s firsthand design experience

• Law Roach’s celebrity styling vision

This lineup keeps Project Runway grounded in tradition while injecting a fresh voice with Roach’s presence.
