Heidi Klum knows how to make an entrance — but this time, not everyone was impressed.
The 52-year-old supermodel stepped onto the red carpet at the world premiere of *The Devil Wears Prada 2* at Lincoln Center in New York, wearing a dress that immediately divided the crowd.
Instead of opting for classic elegance, Heidi chose a bold piece designed by a contestant from the upcoming 22nd season of *Project Runway*, the very show she hosts. The look, which won one of the season’s challenges, won’t even be seen by viewers until late 2026 — but it has already caused a stir.
The dress itself was impossible to ignore.
Rendered in a striking sea-green shade, the pleated design featured dramatic side cutouts that revealed part of her chest, along with a long, flowing train that draped behind her like a cape. From certain angles, the fabric moved beautifully. From others, it became the center of controversy.
Because once the photos hit the internet, the tone changed fast.
Some viewers dismissed the look outright, comparing it to household fabric rather than high fashion. Others questioned why such a daring and unconventional outfit was chosen for a premiere tied to a film known for its polished, sophisticated style.
The criticism didn’t stop there.
Comments ranged from mocking the overall shape to calling the styling excessive and out of place. For many, the combination of bold cuts and flowing layers felt disconnected from the refined image usually associated with events like this.
Still, not everyone saw it as a miss.
A smaller group praised Heidi for taking risks and supporting emerging designers, pointing out that the red carpet is exactly where experimentation belongs. To them, the dress wasn’t a mistake — it was a statement.
But whether admired or criticized, one thing became clear almost instantly.
No one was indifferent.
