Project Runway Season 9 starts tomorrow

(!)

 

 

The ninth season of Project Runway starts tomorrow July 28th at 9pm/8 central on Lifetime.  The show dropped some of its sass and homo jokes and is definitely more mom outfit friendly since it left Bravo, but I’m still going to watch this season.  I’m sure the designers will again be flabbergasted by Heidi Klum’s tall, blonde Austrian-ness and I will fall in love with Tim Gunn again, but there’s sure to be some new things, too.  Here is what and who we can expect this season: 

Wizardly Attire - The Harry Potter Premiere

Oof. J.K. Rowling makes like a gazillion dollars off of writing the most successful young adult fantasy in the history of the genre, and she shows up to the premiere of the series's last movie wearing...that? Does not compute. Jo's a little old for the hipstery irony, and even if she were going for that, the cut's not even right. You're supposed to put your curtain patterns on short babydoll dresses, am I right? No idea where she got that one designed. Thankfully, Emma Watson showed up looking ridiculously gorgeous in her pixie haircut and poofy dress. Digging it forever.
