Snooki to guest judge Project Runway with JWoww... three years after show mentor Tim Gunn slammed her fashion sense
It's been three years since style consultant Tim Gunn said she would not be welcome on Project Runway.
But it appears he may have had a change of heart when it comes to former wild-child Jersey Shore alum Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi.
Radar Online has revealed that party girl-turned-businesswoman Snooki, 26 will be guest judge on the upcoming season of the show alongside best friend JWoww, 28.
Fashion fan: Nicole Polizzi aka 'Snooki' is set to join best friend JWoww (Jenni Farley) as guest judges on the new season of Project Runway
The pair will join host Alyssa Milano on the Lifetime series’ premiering July 24. An insider told Radar: 'Nicole and Jenni filmed with Alyssa Milano in New York last week for the show.'
All three ladies are mothers-to-be, so will no doubt be swapping maternity wear tips. Perhaps the contestants' challenge for the week will have something to do with maternity wear.

'At the monkey house it would be, "Oh, it doesn't smell so bad anymore." When you first walk in it stinks and after 40 minutes it doesn't smell at all - that's when Snooki leaves the house.'
The girls will join other guest judges including Mad Men actress Elisabeth Moss, Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn, and world-renowned burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese on the series’ 13th season.
Meanwhile, the reality star posted a photo of herself and best friend JWoww, 28, on her Instagram. She wrote alongside the sweet snap: 'Pregnant besties.'
