Did Project Runway just serve us the messiest episode of the season, or what? Curve model Liris Crosse is FINALLY breaking her silence on the absolutely wild dress drama that went down during Thursday’s episode, and honey, she is NOT holding back.
After fans were left SHOOK by what unfolded on screen, Liris took to social media to address the elephant in the room—or should we say, the ill-fitting gown on the runway? The model started by graciously thanking everyone who showed her love and support, giving a special shout-out to those who recognized her fierce modeling prowess and cultural significance. Translation? She’s about to read someone for filth, and we are SO here for it.
“I want to address the elephant in the room,” Liris wrote, before expressing her disappointment with how the situation was handled. Sources close to the situation claim that the designers completely missed the mark when it came to creating a dress that actually fit the model properly, which is basically Fashion 101, bestie. The curve model, who has been absolutely KILLING it on the runway all season, found herself in an uncomfortable position—literally and figuratively.
What’s really got the fashion fandom in a tizzy is the apparent lack of professionalism from the design team. Like, this is PROJECT RUNWAY, people! You’d think these so-called fashion experts would know how to measure a model and create something that actually flatters her figure. Instead, we got what can only be described as a fashion nightmare that had viewers reaching for their phones to tweet their outrage.
The supportive comments from fans have been absolutely heartwarming, with people praising Liris for her grace under pressure and her undeniable talent in the modeling world. Many are calling out the designers for their sloppy work and lack of respect for their model. One fan tweeted: “Liris deserves better! She’s a PROFESSIONAL and that dress was a MESS.”
Industry insiders are now questioning whether this was a deliberate snub or just pure incompetence. Either way, Liris is handling it with the class and dignity we’ve come to expect from her, even though she’s rightfully disappointed in how the whole situation went down.
The real question now? Will the show address this behind-the-scenes mess in upcoming episodes, or are they going to sweep it under the designer’s runway? We’re betting they won’t be able to ignore this one for long.
What do you think? A) The designers totally sabotaged Liris on purpose B) It was just an honest mistake that should’ve been caught before showtime
