‘Below Deck’/’Project Runway’ Crossover! Gary Is Up to His Old Tricks with with ‘Cute’ Designer (Exclusive)

Below Deck’s Gary King can make just as much of a splash on land, it seems.

In PEOPLE exclusive sneak peek at Thursday’s Project Runway: All-Stars, Bravo’s flirtiest first mate gets up close and personal with one of the designers. 

During a night outside the workroom, while drinks flow and dancing breaks out, Gary cozies up to designer Anna Z. From first introductions, Gary moves fast and soon enough, the new friends are taking shots together and spinning circles around the bar with their fellow yachties and fashionistas.

The booze inspires a makeshift runway show right in the middle of the establishment — and some designers worry about Anna’s possible hangover in the morning. But Anna insists in an interview: “If I have enough to drink, [I] just have fun.”

Eventually, Gary and Anna step outside together for a chat somewhere quiet.

“You’re a superstar,” he tells her.

“I’m my own superstar,” she replies.

With an arm around her shoulder, a hug and a laugh, he lays it on: “You’re so cute, you know that?”

But Anna resists in front of cameras, telling Gary, “No flirting. I don’t need to flirt.”

It’s then she reveals to Gary: “I’m divorced for two days. I want to party with you more.”
