This year, NBC will be adding fashion coverage to its Derby telecasts with champion figure skaters John Weir and Tara Lipinski at the helm.

The fashion conscious Weir and Lipinski are obvious choices for style commentary in the sports world.
They received praise for their figure skating and fashion commentary during the Sochi Olympics, which ultimately landed them a gig on Access Hollywood's coverage of the Academy Awards.
