at .

Following a massive delay and numerous legal battles, Project Runway is finally returning to the air.

It will premiere on Lifetime on August 20, as a diverse cast of 16 contestants - hailing from all over the globe, such as Russia, Bosnia and the Republic of Georgia - compete for the top prize.

Because season six takes place in Los Angeles, celebrities such as Christina Aguilera and Lindsay Lohan will make cameos during challenges; while the judging panel remains the same: Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn, Nina Garcia and Michael Kors.

"Look out for the girls," Klum said this week, previewing the season ahead. "The girls are very strong on season six. There's a lot of crying, there's fighting going on, there's a lot of drama going on — but especially with the girls."

Here's a look at all 16 contestants:

  • Shirin Askari, 25
  • Louise Black, 32
  • Ra'Mon-Lawrence Coleman, 31, pictured.
  • Rodney Epperson, 50
  • Ari Fish, 26
