Which 1990s supermodel hosted the reality show Germany's Next Topmodel?

The story behind the answer

The 1990s supermodel who hosted the reality show Germany's Next Topmodel is Heidi Klum.

Born in Bergisch Gladbach, West Germany, in 1973, Klum built an international modeling career before becoming a television host, judge, producer, and businesswoman. She appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 1998 and became the first German model to work as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, helping establish her as one of the era’s most recognizable fashion figures.

Klum has hosted, judged, and co-produced Germany's Next Topmodel since the program began in 2006. The show is the German adaptation of the international Top Model television format and follows aspiring models through challenges, photo shoots, and eliminations. Its principal broadcaster has been ProSieben.

She is also strongly associated with the American fashion-design competition Project Runway, which she hosted and executive-produced beginning in 2004. That work earned her an Emmy Award in 2013 for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program, shared with Tim Gunn. Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, and Claudia Schiffer were fellow supermodels, but they did not host this German series.
