The best fashion reality shows

The OG: Project Runway

A stalwart since 2004, this is the original fashion reality competition, whose format — designers have a limited time to design and fabricate a look that is then scored by judges — created the rough template for every show that came after.

The Project Runway followup: Making the Cut

After she retired her catchphrase “In fashion, one day you’re in and the next day you’re out” as “Project Runway” host, Heidi Klum (along with other “PR” alum Tim Gunn) jumped ship to streaming for an otherwise quite similar show that highlights the work of more established designers.

The Netflix contender: Next in Fashion

Hosted by “Queer Eye’s” Tan France and Gigi Hadid (replacing last season’s host, Alexa Chung), this sunny, breezy competition feels like the cooler kid sibling of “Project Runway” but still pulls in iconic judges, like Helena Christensen and Donatella Versace.

The beauty equivalent: Glow Up

Also on Netflix, this show is “Project Runway” for makeup artists, who each week compete to create the most mind-blowing beauty looks judged by legends in the game like Val Garland and Dominic Skinner.
