Miss J. Alexander - The world first learned of Miss J. thanks to Tyra Banks's long-running competition series, America's Next Top Model. Dubbed the "runway coach extraordinaire," Miss J. has earned a following that has grown to respect him not only for his modeling expertise, but also his envelope-pushing outfits. From huge ball gowns to simple blue jeans, this reality TV judge mixes masculine and feminine fashion like the pro that he is.(Photo: Mark Mainz/Getty Images)
Derek J. - When you're one of the best hair stylists in Atlanta, you have to look the part — and Derek J. does just that. Known for refusing to wear anything "masculine geared," the Fashion Queens panelist is unapologetic about his fashion choices. From flow-y caftans on the beach to sky-high stilettos on the red carpet, Derek J. does not care for outside opinions, and it's hard not to respect that.(Photo: Brian Ach/Getty Images for Nolcha Fashion Week)
Lawrence Washington - Much like his Fashion Queens co-star Derek J., Washington — also known as Miss Lawrence — mostly wears clothing made with the female body in mind. The outspoken personality, who frequently appears on episodes of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, always complements his high-end looks with expensive accessories.(Photo: Blayze/Splash News)Johnny Weir - This bronze-medal-winning figure skater is known for his larger-than-life skating technique, and he always brings some of that flair to his style off the ice. When Johnny Weir steps out, he usually shows out in the highest of heels and the most dramatic ensembles. His androgynous fashion choices are as much a part of his brand as his impressive skating skills.(Photo: Ben Gabbe/Getty Images)
