Heidi Klum’s daring dress from the Project Runway Season 22 finale is getting plenty of attention online, with fans criticizing the look and calling it one of the worst outfits they’ve seen her wear.
The supermodel, who serves as the show’s host and head judge, stayed true to her bold fashion aesthetic for the finale by stepping out in a revealing black Christian Siriano dress. The design featured dramatic cutouts, lace-up sleeves and a crisscrossed front with yellow fabric woven through it, creating an unusual detail that some compared to thick blonde braids.
The revealing construction also left parts of Klum’s black bottoms visible beneath the dress. She completed the look with her blonde hair styled in a center-parted, layered blowout, along with smoky eye makeup and a nude lip.

Heidi Klum Slammed Over Her 'Awful' Lace-Up Dress
However, the outfit quickly became a talking point among viewers, particularly because it was worn for such a major episode of the fashion competition.
Some fans compared the unusual design to everything from a worn-out sneaker to a pair of Converse shoes, while others criticized the fit and styling.
“Indeed, she is a worn out Converse shoe,” one person wrote on Reddit..
“I don't understand how an outfit on someone so skinny still makes it look like she is busting out in the worst possible way.” another commented.
Another person criticized Klum’s styling choices, writing, “She’s gained some weight and still dresses for the body she had. She’s still an attractive woman but needs to adapt her style. Cramming yourself into clothes that are too small makes you look bigger!”
“She’s not qualified to judge the designers. Especially after wearing this,” another critic said.
Another commenter focused on the dress’s lacing, writing, “She laced herself in so tight, the eyelets were stretching. It looked terrible on her!”
“The one on Heidi is ill-fitting and unflattering,” someone else added.
Others were even more blunt about Klum’s fashion choices.
“Can we all just admit that Heidi doesn’t have good fashion sense?” one person asked.
“That dress was HORRIBLE! When does she get voted off??!” another wrote.
“Who is styling her?” someone else questioned.
“Literally the ugliest dress I've ever seen,” another critic declared.
