Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum’s latest role? Voicing “Heidi Barbie,” the 11.5-inch mini-me version of the supermodel and “Project Runway” host, who attended New York Fashion Week in place of Klum, who was back in L.A. with husband Seal awaiting the birth of her fourth child. The doll, whose voice sounds like a fast-talking version of Klum on helium, interviewed such style luminaries as Michael Kors, Rachel Zoe and Mario Testino backstage at the fashion shows. “The ‘Heidi Barbie’ voice makes Seal crazy,” says Klum, who “was just riffing” when voicing the doll’s interviews and observations (sample line: “This is my first time hailing a caaaab in New York City!”), according to her rep. Of course, Heidi Barbie was appropriately attired in a sequined minidress, Victoria’s Secret undies and a ring by jeweler-to-the-stars Lorraine Schwartz.

Heidi Klum is ready to do her runway walk down the Emmy Awards red carpet, and — weeks away from giving birth to her new daughter — she’s thrilled she won’t be sucking in her tummy. “The great thing about being pregnant and going to these things is that I don’t have to suck my stomach in,” the supermodel and Project Runway host told PEOPLE at Los Angeles Confidential’s pre-Emmy party. “It’s fabulous! I can let it all out.” Klum, who’s nominated as Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program, revealed that she’ll be wearing a Marchesa gown designed especially for her by Georgina Chapman at Klum’s request. She said she hasn’t put too much thought into prepping around her pregnancy for the big day. “It wasn’t really hard for me, but it was hard for the woman that designed a dress for me,” she laughed about going glam with a baby on board. “She started about two or three months ago and that’s kind of difficult…It’s black because I figure, at eight-and-a-half months, black is better! I think it’s elegant and it’s slimming.” As far as returning to those tummy-sucking-in days, Klum says she doesn’t have any target date to have her famous body ready for bikini and lingerie shoots. “I was asked by Victoria’s Secret if it is possible, if I’m going to make it to their show,” she said. “You never know how you are afterwards, so you kind of have to play it by ear and see what happens. So far – knock on wood – everything was always great. I felt great afterwards and I loved every minute of it, even the sleepless nights of getting up every two hours. But let’s see what happens. You can’t put all that pressure on you.” Check back on Sunday night for all of our live Emmy Awards coverage! –Scott Huver

If you have ever thought to yourself that Heidi Klum seems like a living doll, then you and the good folks of Mattel are on the same wavelength. We suspected that a collaboration between the supermodel and the toy company might be in the works when we spotted her front row at the Barbie 50th Anniversary show at Fashion Week, but now we know that there is indeed a Heidi Klum Barbie on its way to stores! The doll is part of Barbie’s Blonde Ambition Collection that features a series of iconic blondes in fashion and entertainment. While the dolls won’t hit shelves until September at BarbieCollector.com, we have a sneak peek of Heidi helping to prep her doll for a shoot — plus the finished result!

Klum to Kors design: Snip, snip. Auf Wiedersehen hemlength. On Project Runway, Heidi Klum and Michael Kors decide the fate of young designers, who know they are either “in or you’re out.” But in real life, the good friends collaborated on a super-short shimmering maternity dress for Heidi, whose bump was on display at last night’s CFDA Fashion Awards at Alice Tully Hall in New York. Heidi’s input? “I shortened it a little bit, because I shorten everything,” she tells PEOPLE. “I’m a shortener.” Not that Kors was surprised. “I knew she’d shorten it,” says the designer. “I can look at clothes on a hanger and know exactly how it’s going to fit, who it is right for. I’ve been doing this for years. I’m only 26, so I can’t say how long I’ve known her, but I know what works for her, what she likes, and I knew she’d cut it off.” And for his part, Kors loves that Heidi isn’t afraid to bare a little while expecting. “It’s a different kind of maternity,” he says. “Everyone thinks, ‘Oh, when you’re pregnant you should hide in the background. But it’s really all about shimmer and glamour and showing skin and confidence.” And Klum is anything but shy about feeling sexy while expecting. “I feel fantastic,” says Klum of her pregnancy. “Are you looking at my boobs?” she jokes. “I’m already two cup sizes bigger than normal.” Tell us: What do you think of Heidi’s sexy maternity style? — Jeffrey Slonim

Starring in fashion spreads is nothing new to Heidi Klum, but with the June issue of German Vogue she’s taking her supermodel status to new levels. In a special 140-page spread entitled “Heidi by Vogue,” the Project Runway host got the chance take on the role of guest-editor. And you couldn’t find a more qualified candidate, considering that the issue is all about her. In addition to collaborating with photographers, hair stylists, makeup artists and the magazine’s regular editor, Heidi dazzles in photo spreads that range from classic to avant-garde and shares the life, style and career secrets. As for which section she loved most, Heidi will only say, “I love all the stories so much that I don’t favor any of them.” But she does gush to PEOPLE.com of the experience, “I grew up reading German Vogue and was really excited when they came to me with the idea for the ‘Heidi by VOGUE’ issue. It was a thrill working with the team of photographers, hair stylists, makeup artists and editors. We shot the entire issue in 1 week — it was a group effort!” And while it doesn’t look like she’ll be quitting her multitude of day jobs just yet, she does tell PEOPLE.com that “I would love the opportunity to be involved in a magazine like this again. I’m always up for a challenge!” Click here to check out exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of Heidi at work on the project.
