Celebrity guest judges will once again be in fashion on the upcoming seventh season of Project Runway.

Nicole Richie will serve as a guest judge on the season premiere of the design competition, which airs Jan. 14 (10 p.m. EST) on Lifetime.

“Nicole is a fabulous guest judge,” says Project Runway executive producer Sara Rea. “She has strong opinions and gives clear and specific constructive criticism to the designers. Also, she isn’t afraid to disagree with the other judges.”

Richie, who is also developing a potential ABC sitcom in which she would star and produce, is the latest in a line of celebrity guest judges on the show. Last season, Christina Aguilera, Rebecca Romijn, Eva Longoria Parker, Lindsay Lohan and Cindy Crawford all made appearances on the panel.

Richie — who has her own fashion line, Winter Kate, and a line of jewelry, House of Harlow 1960 — taped the premiere episode of Runway last summer before giving birth to her son Sparrow in September. Her daughter Harlow turns 2 on Jan. 11.

Headed back to the one and only Big Apple, this season kicks off Thursday, January 14, 2009 at 10/9C only on Lifetime!

I’m glad they’re returning to NYC, being in Vegas, it didn’t have the same feel! Below are the new contestants! For a preview, and info on the contestants, visit PR’s website!

Project Runway is getting the supermodel treatment!

After appearances by guest judges Eva Longoria Parker, Rebecca Romijn, Lindsay Lohan and Christina Aguilera, Cindy Crawford will share her fashion expertise, joining Heidi Klum and company on the judges’ panel on the next episode of Project Runway.

Also in the Nov. 5 episode (10 p.m. EST on Lifetime), Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will appear with Tim Gunn in a segment taped at the city’s Getty Museum.

And People has confirmed that the episode will feature a final challenge that will determine which of the five remaining designers — Carol Hannah, Althea, Irina, Gordana and Christopher — will move on to Fashion Week.

According to Project Runway’s Tim Gunn, his co-star Heidi Klum, who is due in October with a baby girl, is one to keep an eye on when it comes to maternity style.

“Heidi has incredible style no matter what condition she’s in, and she looks fabulous in everything,” Gunn said at the Addressing Psoriasis Fashion Show at Milk Studios in New York on Wednesday. “She just always knows what she looks best in and she’s remarkable. I marvel at her all the time.”

Even though she always looks put together, he said the 36-year-old supermodel’s priority is not fashion.

“Seal and her kids [daughter Leni, 5, and sons Henry Günther, 3, and Johan Riley, 2] always come first, and frankly we schedule things around that. I have the greatest respect for her. She’s very, very grounded,” Gunn said.

Gunn also declared his respect for Lindsay Lohan, who recently appeared as a guest judge on the current season of Project Runway.

“I was surprised and pleased by how extremely knowledgeable about fashion and articulate Lindsay Lohan was,” he said. “She’s very young and can be portrayed in ways that aren’t all together flattering, and she was a true statesperson and really weighed in on the designers and what they were doing exceptionally well. And it was really a thrill to have her.”

Runway fans can expect another Hollywood fashionista on Thursday’s episode, when actress Rachel Bilson drops by to be a guest judge.

But the designers are in for an even bigger surprise, Gunn revealed. “This is the week I’m in flip-flops because we’re on the beach. And I thought, I can’t be wearing these. It would be ridiculous.”

The new celebrity guest judge on Thursday night’s new episode of Project Runway: Season 6 is Rachel Bilson!

Don’t forget to tune in every Thursday at 10:00 on Lifetime!

She’s graced many red carpets but can Nicole Kidman handle the catwalk? Or at least say “Make it work” as effectively as Tim Gunn? Mais oui! A rep for Lifetime confirms that the Australia actress will appear on the reality hit Project Runway.

Her appearance on the special, Project Runway: All-Star Challenge, will air before the sixth season premiere of Project Runway on Aug. 20. She’ll join returning designers such as Jeffrey Sebelia and Santino Rice on the special.

Kidman’s guest stint was first reported by Access Hollywood.
