Sherri Hill named official fashion sponsor for Miss USA 2011!

Congrats to Sherri Hill! This week, the design superstar was named the official fashion sponsor for this year's Miss Universe pageant!

That means that as the pageant airs from  Las Vegas on June 19th, all of the 51 contestants in the show will grace the stage in one of her gowns.

The ladies will be wearing all sorts of of styles -- from short, flirty cocktail dresses, to floor-length  evening gowns.  Hill has been a major name in the pageant dress circle for years now, so it's only natural that she be named the official fashion sponsor!

  "It's a real art form to marry an individual contestant's personality and sense of style into one defining dress," says Sherri Hill.  "My goal is to always create a look that is fresh, elegant and distinctive and allows each contestant to stand apart without distracting from her own beauty.  It is also imperative that each gown be comfortable and easy to walk in allowing seamless movement on stage."

Congrats to the team -- and mark your calendar for the big day!
