Chrissy Teigen is a social media queen, active model and appeals to men and women in ideal ways for advertisers. She’d be pure gold on “Fashion Police.” Plus, we’d get the song stylings of John Legend at no extra cost, right?
Lauren Conrad is a massive brand despite her absence from reality television for more than 10 years. She’d activate nostalgia and appeal to a newer, younger audience. Young women love her style and hair — it’s time for a TV comeback, without Heidi Montag, of course.
Stassi Schroeder may not be high-brow, but she’s must-watch television. Plus, her resume isn’t just “Vanderpump Rules,” she’s also a legit fashion columnist. Schroeder is not exactly too hard on the eyes, either — and in case you missed it, TV is a visual medium.
Merle Ginsberg of The Hollywood Reporter is a dogged fashion reporter with a unique look. She’d probably even let a few legendary stories slip in between outfit critiques. Getting a real journalist on set will probably reduce some of the “patchouli oil and weed” slip-ups too. Or at least it couldn’t hurt.
Olivia Palermo was the breakout star of MTV’s “The City,” and continues to stun on red carpets and appearances thanks to her comely husband and her own beauty. The show needs a socialite, and anyone who identifies as a “socialite” needs a job.
Whitney Cummings could be a worthy replacement for the late, great Joan Rivers but it begs the same question in regards to Kathy Griffin’s hire — why try? Plus, Cummings co-created “2 Broke Girls,” so she’s (ironically) probably not hard up for money.
Chelsea Peretti truly is one of the greats. If she cared at all about the world of fashion, it’d be an amazing — and totally take-down — kind of show. We could live off of her tweets alone, but no matter what, “Fashion Police” — do NOT take Gina Linetti off of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.”
Natasha Leggero is equally bitter sass and girly delight. She’s softer than Cummings but, frankly, not enough of a name for the panel. What she may lack in recognizability though is a distinct sense of style. No jokes here, Leggero has those covered.
Comedian Iliza Schlesinger actually tries to not be glamorous during many of her stand-up specials, but she cleans up nicely and would make a solid addition to the “Fashion Police” lineup. That said, on a day-to-day basis, she may be more qualified to take clothing advice than dish it out.
Stacy London was the co-host of “What Not to Wear,” so this could be a mutually beneficial hire, with “Fashion Police” getting a bonafide clothing consultant and London gathering Hollywood fodder.
Carson Kressley could probably use the regular gig, and everyone loved “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” right? Let’s get some men critiquing men, shall we? #pocketsquares
First of all, everyone loves Clinton Kelly, so there’s that. Plus, “Fashion Police” couldn’t hurt from a male presence, so how he hasn’t been hired yet is actually kind of surprising. Kelly shared “What Not to Wear” duties with London — how about a two-fer/reunion?
Rachel Zoe has a treasure trove Hollywood clients, so she’s no stranger to judging how a gown hangs off an A-lister’s shoulders. Bravo’s “The Rachel Zoe Project” was in the NBCU family. Added bonus: Forced reunion with frenemy Brad Goreski. Meow.
