A Day Under the Big Top: My Time on Germany’s Next Top model With Heidi, Alessandra & Hayley

Germany’s Next Top Model – Circus Challenge

I woke up that morning excited, nervous, and honestly not ready for the amount of rain that was waiting for me. By the time I got to set, the sky had officially opened up and the energy? Completely unstoppable!

Walking onto the circus-themed set felt like stepping into another world: bright tents, bold colors, performers warming up, and contestants practicing these dramatic, clown like runway walks. Everything was glistening from the rain and wet, but somehow even prettier because of it.

And then there were Supermodels—
Heidi, Alessandra, and Hayley.

Heidi was exactly how you’d imagine: full of life, laughing through the downpour, making everyone feel like the rain was part of the show. Alessandra looked effortless and elegant, even though she was freezing cold. Hayley was warm and caring, cracking jokes and keeping the vibe cozy despite the weather.

The challenge itself was circus-themed, so imagine big makeup, bold costumes, and a runway that felt one part fashion and one part performance art. The girls slipped, laughed, improvised, and honestly just embraced the chaos. Watching them made me appreciate how much heart goes into moments that don’t always make it on camera.

By the end of the day, we were all soaked, freezing, and somehow still having the best time, like the rain pulled us all into the same silly, messy adventure.
