Heidi Klum made a striking appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on June 26, debuting a bold new hairstyle and head-turning fashion choice that quickly became the talk of entertainment and fashion circles.
The 51-year-old supermodel, television host, and entrepreneur arrived at the Los Angeles studio sporting freshly cut, choppy bangs — a significant departure from her signature long, flowing layers. The new fringe, styled straight and sleek, frames her face in a modern, edgy silhouette reminiscent of ’70s rock-inspired glamour.
Klum revealed her updated look earlier in the day via Instagram, sharing a short video clip with the caption “Schnipp Schnapp ✂️,” offering followers a close-up of her latest transformation.
The dramatic bangs, cut by celebrity stylist Wendy Iles, signal a confident summer refresh for the star, who is known for evolving her appearance with each new project.
For her late-night television appearance, Klum chose a striking black corset mini dress that accentuated her figure. The strapless design featured a push-up bodice and structured boning, while a soft pink satin rosette at the hip added a feminine, playful touch.
She paired the ensemble with sheer black tights and towering stilettos, completing the look with red manicured nails and oversized gradient sunglasses, which she wore while greeting fans outside the studio.
During her interview, Klum sat down with guest host Diego Luna and discussed her upcoming return as host of Project Runway, which premieres its 21st season on Freeform later this summer.
Describing the show as her “first television baby,” Klum expressed excitement about reuniting with longtime collaborators including judge Nina García and mentor Christian Siriano, while highlighting the new designers set to compete for fashion’s next big title.
Klum also reflected on her continued passion for fostering emerging design talent, noting how Project Runway has remained relevant after more than two decades by embracing fashion’s evolving landscape.
The model’s daring fashion choices and beauty updates have made headlines in recent months.
Earlier this year, she was photographed in a sparkling silver suit during Paris Fashion Week and was spotted in Berlin wearing an oversized blazer with nothing underneath — reinforcing her reputation as both a fashion risk-taker and an industry icon.
Klum’s latest appearance adds to her history of bold red carpet and television moments. Style editors from InStyle, Byrdie, and People were quick to applaud her look, with many noting the synergy between her edgy haircut and the form-fitting corset ensemble.
As for her new bangs, reactions have been overwhelmingly positive.
Celebrity hairstylist Ray Christopher, who styled her hair for the evening, described the cut as “fearless, fresh, and perfect for summer,” noting that Klum’s ability to reinvent herself is what keeps her fashion influence enduring.
With Project Runway set to return on July 31, Klum’s revamped look and confident public appearances signal a strong start to the show’s latest chapter.
Fans and fashion enthusiasts alike will be watching to see what style statements she brings next, both on and off screen.
