After a long wait, Next in Fashion season 2 is finally (almost) here!

Fans of the Netflix competition reality show (which bares more than a strong resemblance to Project Runway) have been waiting three years for season 2 to drop and are especially psyched to see Gigi Hadid step up as guest host alongside Queer Eye favorite Tan France (Gigi is replacing Alexa Chung, who acted as co-host in season 1).

Gigi previously revealed to Elle magazine that Netflix put her through the wringer and made her audition several times. She told the magazine,

“They really put me through an audition process. I respected that, and it made me feel good when I got the job. I felt like I had earned it in their eyes, and so that gave me the confidence to go for it.”

She added,

“You get a sense of impostor syndrome and you’re like, ‘Okay, are they just giving me this show because I have a lot of followers?’ The fact that they really questioned my intentions for being on the show helped me jump into it headfirst. If they think that I can do it, then that gives me more confidence than maybe I would’ve had otherwise.”

In addition to Gigi and Tan, there are set to be a slew of incredible guest judges, including the creme de la creme of the fashion industry. Renowned fashion designers like Donatella Versace and Isabel Marant are on the slate, as are models Bella Hadid (Gigi’s little sis!) and Helena Christensen.

Next in Fashion season 2 drops on Friday, March 3. Check out all the guest judges below.
