After eight weeks of America’s Got Talent Season 19 auditions, during which Heidi Klum showed us her impeccable sense of style, America’s Got Talent returns for a four-week quarterfinal run before moving on to a semi-final round and a two-week finale.
Eleven of the 44 acts competed in the first live quarterfinal round on Tuesday, hoping to secure a spot in the semi-finals, airing on September 10. The performances are so captivating that Sofia Vergara felt compelled to give the Hakuna Matata Acrobats her Golden Buzzer, guaranteeing them a spot in the show’s finale.
However, aside from the breathtaking performances, I was naturally anticipating Heidi Klum’s wardrobe selections, as she consistently brings something fresh and exciting to the judges’ table.

Gilded in Christian Siriano Mini Dress and Heels
To kick off the quarterfinal round, Heidi Klum looked ready to give away her Golden Buzzer or present the winner’s trophy. She was decked out in a laminated metallic gold lace mini dress courtesy of Christian Siriano, the American designer who won the fourth season of Project Runway in 2007, which Heidi Klum hosted.
I honestly like the silhouette, with its structured corset bodice, concave neckline, jutted sides, exposed boning, and fitted mini skirt. But I can’t say I’m a fan. First, I find the crumpled tinfoil effect outdated and unappealing. Second, I don’t think the skirt’s red ruffled section is necessary.
At one point on the red carpet, Heidi draped a matching floor-length gilded coat over her shoulders. It featured structured shoulders, long sleeves, and a contrasting red lining.
We all know Heidi Klum never does anything understated on the red carpet. Honestly, this is probably one of her few appearances that I dislike. But I have to say, the way she carries it amazes me, proving that she can pull off any style with ease.

Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, a renowned style team that has worked with Jennifer Lopez, Mila Kunis, Lindsay Lohan, Lily Collins, Hailee Steinfeld, and Kerry Washington, put together Klum’s look for the AGT quarterfinals.
While I don’t think the outfit needed any jewelry, Heidi wore a statement gold chain necklace with multiple heart-shaped pendants. She also covered her red-manicured fingers with several gold rings and layered several bracelets made of gold and diamonds on one wrist.
Wearing her signature wavy hairstyle, courtesy of Lorenzo Martin, smokey eye makeup, and nude lipstick by Linda Hay, Heidi rounded out her look with metallic gold sandals that complemented her ensemble.
They are fastened to her ankles with thin wraparound lace-up straps, and their open toes let Heidi flaunt her red pedicure. The pin-thin stiletto heels, about 4 inches high, enhanced Klum’s already impressive 5’9” height.

Trendy in Short-and-Jeans Hybrid and Platform Pumps
Honestly, I like her casual looks better than her red-carpet choices because they’re so relatable and easy to copy.
For instance, her appearance earlier in the day ahead of the AGT live quarterfinals. She was dressed in jeans, but they weren’t just any old jeans.
They are a denim shorts and jeans hybrid, but they’re not jorts either. Belt loops connect the bottom front of the baggy split pants to the front thighs while thigh-baring slits at the rear create an illusion of shorts. It’s confusing, but I think you get the idea. They’re intriguing and sure to spark conversations.
Klum elevated the relatively casual look by teaming the puzzling hybrid jeans with a nude-colored bodysuit embellished with sparkling microcrystals. With a scoop neck, a back cutout, and a form-fitting design, I adore how it embraces her contours.

Mixing casual elements with high-end pieces, Heidi accessorized the relatable ensemble with sparkling jewelry. She wore gold hoop earrings, a selection of rings and bracelets, and two delicate necklaces: one was a dainty ruby heart-shaped pendant necklace, and the other was a necklace dedicated to her husband Tom.
Her AGT essentials were kept in a brown Hermes Birkin bag, which complemented her oversized brown ombre aviator sunglasses.
Further enhancing the casual ‘fit, Klum fashioned her tresses in blown-out waves and slipped her feet into a pair of metallic silver pumps adorned with microcrystals.
I like the shoes’ sparkly texture, complemented by their island platforms, pointy toes, and towering stiletto heels.

Boho Chic in Monochromatic White Crochet Pants and Boots
Klum went for a boho look on Wednesday outside the America’s Got Talent studios, demonstrating her ability to pull off any look.
She wore a white ribbed tank top with a scoop neckline and tucked it into a pair of wide-leg crochet pants, which gave the basic white top a playful bohemian twist that I like. The pants feature lacy doily crochet cutouts, showing a glimpse of her $2.2 million insured legs.

Enhancing the boho vibe of the ensemble, Klum slung a white fringe bag across her body. It is adorned with tassels and fringes and features a long, thick studded strap.
Wearing her signature oversized sunnies, Klum rounded out her ensemble with several silver bracelets and rings and a pair of white ankle boots—which, in my opinion, are the perfect option for a chic boho finish.
