Taking to his Instagram handle recently, Tran shared a trail of pictures with Gigi and wrote, "Who would have thought when we met over Facetime 4 years ago (thanks @evachen212) that we’d be hosting NEXT IN FASHION TOGETHER! You read that right! The secret’s out. You better get ready, casting is now open at netflixreality.com/NIF @nextinfashion @netflix." Take a look. 

Fashion enthusiasts couldn't contain their excitement to see the duo together and dropped comments like, "OMG, what a pairing", "favourite cutes in fashion", "The duo we never knew we needed" among others. Even celebrities like Phoebe Dynevor, Martha Hunt, Tommy Dorfman congratulated the duo for their new venture. 

The official Instagram handle of Next In Fashion also broke the news of the besties turning partners in the latest venture. They wrote, "SOME NEWS: these two besties are hosting Next In Fashion Season 2!”. For the uninitiated, the first season of the show premiered on the streaming platform in January 2020 and starred France alongside Alexa Chung. Fashion moguls like Tommy Hilfiger, Phillip Lim and Eva Chen appeared as guest judges on the show. 

The second season comes as surprise to many as Netflix cancelled the series in 2020. In an earlier conversation with Variety, France stated "We will not be doing a second season. This is a one-season show, we don’t know what will happen in the future.”

Gigi has also appeared as a guest judge on the most recent edition of Project Runway. With the model onboard, the show will seemingly get a lot bigger.
