Project Runway: Virtual (season 4)

The fourth season of Project Runway: Virtual premiered on July 17, 2018, and concluded on July 28, 2018. The cast was announced on July 15, 2018.

Numerous changes to the format were made this season. It saw the inclusion of two wildcard designers, Yoshi and Marth, who appeared on season 1, and were selected to return for a second chance after being eliminated in the first two episodes. In addition, the premiere was split into two episodes, with the season's fourteen designers being split into two groups of seven, and the advancing designers merging into one group in the season's third episode. Another additional change was the final four at the finale, as opposed to the usual three.

The season was won by Amber of the UFO series.

Luneth and Toadette competed on the first season of Project Runway: Virtual All Stars. Toadette originally finished in 11th, but won re-entry into the game and placed 5th overall. Luneth placed 3rd overall.
