Heidi Klum dropped a major finale preview on Instagram Wednesday, and the guest list for Germany’s Next Top Model 2026 is a proper occasion.
The season finale airs tonight at 20:15 on ProSieben. The confirmed guests include Winnie Harlow, Sharon Stone, and Adriana Lima. Nicole Scherzinger and Demi Lovato complete the five-person lineup. Fashion label Dsquared2 and longtime GNTM co-host Thomas Hayo are also on hand for the big night.
In her German-language Instagram caption, Klum said all of those guests gave standing ovations at the finale event. She teased that anyone who sees that list will understand exactly what kind of night to expect. The post was marked as paid partnership content.
Klum has hosted Germany’s Next Top Model since 2006. That makes her one of the longest-serving hosts in reality television. She and Thomas Hayo have guided contestants through high-fashion shoots, runway challenges, and tough eliminations for nearly two decades. GNTM has been a fixture of German television and a show that regularly puts contestants in front of real industry professionals. Tonight takes that to another level.
The season has been a long road. Months of challenges and eliminations have brought the field down to its final competitors. One aspiring model will walk away tonight as Germany’s Next Top Model 2026, with a room full of fashion heavyweights watching it happen. That pressure is part of the show’s appeal.
The celebrity lineup covers a wide range of the entertainment world. Winnie Harlow is a Canadian supermodel with a global profile, known in the fashion industry for both her work and her visibility around vitiligo. Sharon Stone brings real Hollywood weight. Decades of film history back her up, and she’s a name that needs no introduction in any room. Adriana Lima is a former Victoria’s Secret Angel and one of the most recognized faces in modeling worldwide.
Nicole Scherzinger fronted the Pussycat Dolls during one of pop music’s biggest commercial runs. She’s stayed active in music and television in the years since. Demi Lovato started out in Disney programming and has gone on to build a successful music career. Their fanbase crosses generations, and their appearance tonight reflects how far GNTM’s reach has grown.
Dsquared2 rounds out the lineup. The Italian design duo, Dean and Dan Caten, are known for bold runway work that earns attention at every international fashion week. Their presence connects tonight’s finale directly to the fashion world the show has always celebrated.
This is exactly the kind of television that brings fashion’s biggest moments right into our living rooms. A standing ovation from that group says something. Klum has always treated the GNTM finale as an event, not just a TV episode. This year’s edition looks like it’s going to back that up.
Germany’s Next Top Model 2026 airs tonight at 20:15 on ProSieben.
