Five years after skyrocketing to stardom as the resident fashion expert on Netflix’s “Queer Eye,” Tan France is busier than ever.
In addition to recently becoming a father to son Ismail, 1, whom he and husband Rob France welcomed via surrogate in 2021, the Fab Fiver designs his own outerwear label (the genderless Was Him), is gearing up to host Season 2 of “Next in Fashion” alongside Gigi Hadid — and was just named by Express as the new lead stylist for the retailer’s Express Styling Community.
“I’ve been working with Express for [about] three years now … the relationship has been great, and it gets stronger and stronger,” France, 39, tells Page Six Style, adding that he’s often used the brand’s clothes to dress the heroes on “Queer Eye” — and himself.
“If you wear a high-waisted pant, it’s going to make you look taller. If you wear a really low pant, it’s going to make your legs look tiny. If you wear a slightly more cropped top, it’s going to make your torso look shorter and your legs look longer,” he says, throwing out a few examples.
“It’s just really [about] understanding what the proportions of clothes do to the proportions of your body.”
Of course, a select few folks can get away with pulling off any trend or silhouette they desire — like France’s supermodel BFF and new “Next in Fashion” co-host Hadid, 27.
“She’s the ultimate professional. She will always get the job done. She’s kind to everyone. And I’m not just saying it to blow smoke up her ass,” France quipped of the catwalker. “The only diva thing — which is not a diva thing — is that she takes longer in hair and makeup than I do.”
Hadid’s even taught France a thing or two about taking fashion risks.
“I always wanted to put on an outfit that people would like. But I learned very quickly from Gigi years ago: Who cares if no one likes it? Somebody’s [always] got an opinion. Whether they like it or they or they hate it, at least they’re thinking about it!” he says.
In addition to swapping style advice, the pair can also trade parenting pointers; Hadid welcomed daughter Khai with then-boyfriend Zayn Malik in 2020.
France tells us the two babies haven’t yet met, as he and Hadid are based on opposite coasts and Ismail’s the “worst flier” — but adds that they’re “planning on something this year.”
“I’m so excited,” he says. “I know that he’ll love her. [Khai’s] part Pakistani, my son’s part Pakistani, they’re both part white … she’s the only kid he will understand at this point!”
