Heidi Klum & Sofia Vergara Dazzle in Head-Turning Heels and Glam Looks at AGT Season 18 Live Qualifiers

By the time America’s Got Talent Season 18 live shows lit up the stage back in 2023, all eyes weren’t just on the performances — the judges’ fashion moments were equally show-stopping.

From Heidi Klum’s fearless red-carpet-ready ensembles to Sofia Vergara’s signature curve-hugging silhouettes, these style icons turned the AGT set into a runway. Their looks from that season still resonate as perfect examples of how to blend high-glam pieces with a television-ready edge.

’70s Pajama Chic: Heidi Klum Turns Loungewear Into Red-Carpet Fashion

Kicking off the first AGT Season 18 live qualifier round in 2023, Heidi Klum turned the Pasadena set into a runway with a playful take on loungewear. Her colorful pajama-style co-ord set featured a loose-fitting shirt, French-tucked into matching baggy pants, all in a groovy ’70s-inspired pattern and vibrant color palette that still feels fresh.

The French tuck — a styling trick popularized by Queer Eye’s Tan France — involves loosely tucking the front portion of a shirt while leaving the back untucked, creating an effortlessly relaxed yet polished silhouette.

The wealthy supermodel kept things cohesive by wearing a pair of purple aviators, bright red nails, her chunky gold earrings, and a set of statement rings.

Red-Hot Moment: Heidi Klum’s Mach & Mach Mini Dress & Vegan Femme LA Heels

Inside the AGT studio, Heidi Klum changed out of her comfy PJs and into a flirty little red dress by Mach & Mach.

She put on a busty display in the tiny red-hot number that featured the Tbilisi-based label’s signature crystal-embellished bows strategically placed at the chest to fasten the daring peekaboo cutouts.

The revealing dress also had a plunging V-neckline, spaghetti straps, a square back, and a thigh-grazing hem that allowed her to parade her $2.2 million insured model legs.

Lorenzo Martin created her age-defying layered hairstyle, while Linda Hay complemented her red outfit with nude lipstick and subtle smoky eyeshadow.

She went bare neck, wore a few diamond rings, and swapped her gold earrings for diamonds to match the bows on her dress.

With the help of powerhouse styling duo Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi, Heidi completed her head-to-toe red look by slipping her big feet into the $189 Femme LA “GG” open-toe sandals.

They are handmade from vegan leather with clear PVC straps across the toes for a modern, minimalist look. They also have vegan insoles and outsoles, open-toe pointed vamps, adjustable ankle straps, and 4.75-inch self-covered stiletto heels.

Heidi also appeared to be wearing a pair of crystal anklets to coordinate her look.

Lime Luxe: Sofia Vergara’s Feather-Trimmed Rebecca Vallance Midi Dress

Sofia Vergara, who returned to the show for the first time since her split from ex-husband Joe Manganiello, wowed in a lime yellow midi dress from Australian designer Rebecca Vallance’s eponymous label.

The strapless number highlighted her famous hourglass curves with vertical waist darts and a skirt that dipped just a few inches past her knees.

The fluffy ostrich feathers that decorated the neckline were the dress’s focal point, lending a flirtatious touch to the otherwise plain design.

Similar to Klum, the Modern Family star kept her neck bare and instead accessorized with a chunky pair of silver earrings, a diamond bracelet, and a few rings.

Monochrome Power: Black Bustier, High-Waisted Jeans & Platform Sandals

The same month, Heidi Klum was pictured in a sleek head-to-toe black ensemble while heading to the AGT studios in Pasadena, California.

She amped up the allure in a strapless satin bustier that spotlighted her décolletage, effortlessly tucked into a pair of high-waisted straight-leg jeans that streamlined her silhouette and elongated her frame.

A buckled belt added a Western flair to the streamlined look, while a pair of black open-toe platform sandals with towering block heels boosted her 5’9” height further.

The German model wore her usual glam and added a set of oversized, square-framed amber lenses to protect her eyes from the sun.

She carried a large black snakeskin handbag and gave her monochromatic outfit a pop of color with bright red nails and a matching red pedicure, gold bangles on each wrist, gold rings, and chunky gold stud earrings.

Emerald Sequins: Heidi Klum’s Glittering Dress & Gold Jewelry

During the AGT Season 18 first live show results, Heidi Klum traded her all-black outfit for a glittery form-fitting dress that accentuated her slim figure.

Her strapless frock was decked out in emerald green sequins and featured a daring V-neck cutout and a straight hem that fell a few inches below her knees. She accessorized the glitzy look with gleaming gold hoops, gold bangles, and statement rings.

Bold in Pink: Sofia Vergara’s Jumpsuit & Pink Sapphire Necklace

Sofia Vergara, on the other hand, let her chunky pink sapphire necklace from XIV Carats sparkle against her hot pink jumpsuit. She also wore a set of sapphire earrings, a large sapphire ring, and a diamond bangle.

From Hollywood premieres to high-octane TV moments, Eva Longoria and Heidi Klum continue to prove that the right pair of heels can turn any outfit into a headline-making moment.
