00:16Tell us everything about the show.

00:18I was on a panel of judges with Laurieann Gibson

00:21and Marina Toybina and myself.

00:23I brought my years of fashion experience

00:26because fashion is such a huge part

00:28in touring and musicians' performance,

00:31but there's also, it's not ready to wear.

00:33This is a totally different fashion space

00:36with the lights and the performance aspect

00:38and also collaborating with the artist

00:42in telling their story, their story of their song,

00:45their story of their performance through their fashion.

00:47Can I ask a question?

00:48No, you cannot.

00:50I want you to listen.

00:51Was it hard to keep a poker face

00:53if someone presented something really off?

00:56Yeah, it is hard to keep a poker face

00:58in that moment, but they also have stories behind it.

01:01And these are really difficult challenges.

01:03This is a competition show.

01:05This is a challenge.

01:06These are challenges.

01:08So you try to look past that and see really their vision

01:11and their initial talent.

01:14Your career in fashion is as hot as ever.

01:16Just this year, you got your fourth

01:18Sports Illustrated cover for their 60th anniversary.

01:21Do you ever get used to seeing yourself

01:23on the cover of a magazine?

01:26No, you never get used to it.

01:28It's always this surreal moment, but it's so incredible.

01:32Sports Illustrated has done so much for my career.

01:35I got to be a part of their 50th anniversary magazine.

01:38And now to come back for their 60th

01:40is such a full circle moment.

01:43And it's so incredible to see where MJ Day and Usai

01:46have really taken this magazine.

01:48And I love Usai, he's one of my favorite photographers

01:51and one of my favorite friends.

01:53And so I was really excited to go back on a set

01:57that is like family.

01:59Now, since you're an expert, give us your top tips

02:01for the perfect photo or selfie.

02:02It is all about lighting.

02:05Do not be backlit.

02:06Anytime anyone backlights me, I'm like, why do you hate me?

02:09Like, what did I do to you?

02:11It's summer, so of course we're on the hunt

02:13for the drink of the season.

02:15And I hear you have the perfect recommendation.

02:17Yes, I do, I do.

02:20I love Bosa.

02:21I'm a co-owner in this ready to drink vodka water.

02:25And it is such an easy summer drink.

02:28There is a non-carbonated version

02:30and there's also a carbonated version.

02:32What's your favorite spot to enjoy Bosa?

02:34I would say a boat.

02:37You know, pool, a boat, anywhere.

02:41I mean, I'm a mom, you know, I'll drink anywhere.

02:43Soccer game, baseball field.

02:47We also have to give a shout out

02:48to the best dressed in your household,

02:50your adorable daughter, Genevieve.

02:53She's five now.

02:54So what are her current fashion and beauty must-haves?

02:58She is so good at mixing patterns.

03:01Every time she pulls out like a floral and a stripe,

03:04I'm like, bro, that's crazy.

03:05And she puts it on and I'm like, it works.

03:08What's one thing you know Genevieve got from mom

03:11and from dad?

03:12She is an only child and Justin is a first child.

03:15And they definitely, I really think

03:17that there's a birth order thing

03:19where they're big rule followers.

03:21They both, they love a rule and they will follow it.

03:25I am not, I'm a third child.

03:26I've never met a rule.

03:28And so she does not get that from me

03:31and I'm always very confused by that.

03:32I'm like, yeah, that's a suggestion.

03:34Let's do it anyway.

03:36She's like, no.

03:38And I think she gets from me,

03:40she loves to dance and have a good time.

03:42And she loves to like be in the moment.

03:44I think she gets that from me.

03:46I always feel like there's so much pressure

03:48if you have one kid and people are asking

03:50if you're gonna have a second one

03:52or if you have no kids, when you're gonna have kids.

03:54Do you ever feel that pressure?

03:56It starts even earlier.

03:57I don't know if you felt this.

03:58It starts when you're dating.

03:59When's the ring coming?

04:00When are you guys getting engaged?

04:01And then you get engaged.

04:01When's the wedding?

04:02What's the wedding date?

04:03When's the first child?

04:04You're like, can I just be in the moment?

04:06So true.

04:08We're gonna put 10 seconds on the clock

04:09and you can promote any one of your projects.

04:11Are you ready?

04:12Go.

04:13I really think everybody should watch the rest of my tour.

04:16It's music, fashion, lights, sparkles.

04:19I mean, what more do you need?
