Miss Universe Has A New Judge: Andre Leon Talley of Vogue

Comments (7)

The legendary Andre Leon Talley, editor-at-large for Vogue, will be exiting the hollowed halls of the magazine to spend a day or two at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas as one of the judges for the Miss Universe pageant. I'm overjoyed that finally someone with real authority can properly assess the glitzy (or garish, depending on your point of view) gowns that slink down the stage during these pageants. Yet..

..is this a good look for Talley? The exposure will be a great way to introduce an amazing, well respected fashion personality to the masses. But could it also lead to mass ridicule? Only time will tell, so stay tuned. Talley won't be the only fashionista on board. 'The Fashion Show' co-host and Destiny Child member Kelly Rowland will be performing a few of her solo 'hits' (I love her, but this term is used very loosely) on stage. With this kind of line-up, this is sure to be the first time I have - voluntarily - tuned in to watch this show since I was a tween.

Will you be joining me? It airs Sunday at 9 p.m (EST) on NBC.
