Jeannie Mai-Jenkins Stood Out As the Co-Host For This Year's Miss Universe Pageant

Fashion expert, makeup artist, and stylist Jeannie Mai-Jenkins stood out as this year's co-host for the Miss Universe pageant. She wore a rhinestone-embellished dress that gave her a sleek and polished look. The Real talk show host makes being a working mom look seamless. She hosted the 2023 pageant with former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo, to which Harnaaz Sandhu of India won (Harnaaz is pictured below photo curtesy of welt.de/dpa).
