After shooting to fame as the style guru on the Queer Eye reboot, France has been a busy guy. Not only has he launched a YouTube series called Dressing Funny — where he gives comedians a makeover — and a swimwear line (Kingdom & State), but he also published a book, Naturally Tan, which is one part memoir, one part fashion advice manual. In it — in addition to styling tips and grooming tricks — he writes about his experiences with race growing up in South Yorkshire, moving to American from England, and coming out to his parents at 34, as well as what it's like being the first openly gay South Asian and Muslim man on Western television.
After seeing his no-nonsense yet gentle handling of so many heroes on Queer Eye reboot, there's no doubt he's the perfect host to help contestants through challenges that will revolved around "different trends or design styles that have influenced the way the entire world dresses."
