Jillian Barberie Reynolds Thinks You Should Stop Trying So Hard

Jillian Barberie Reynolds has spent the close to 10 years in front of the camera for The NFL on Fox, so she knows all about hanging with the boys without becoming "one of the guys." She gave us tips on dressing for this weekend's Super Bowl parties (mainly, don't look like you're trying too hard), navigating the buffet while keeping your girlish figure, and how to work it for the camera.

Jillian Barberie Reynolds

    What should stylish ladies wear if they're going to the Super Bowl? How about to a party? You know, for a "Fashion Touchdown"?
    A cute, tight pair of jeans (my favorite right now is J Brand – so priceless), and I wear YSL heels with the super double platform because they're kind of chunky and if I have to walk through somebody's backyard it's not like stilettos. And a little Cosabella top with a cashmere cardigan over it. But always formfitting and tight to the body, with a big hobo bag -- be causal, not like you're trying too hard. The last thing a guy wants is to bring a super high maintenance girl to a Super Bowl party. Jeans, a cute tight t-shirt, and a cashmere cardigan because you never know how late the game's going to go, and you want to be comfortable.

    Since you've fit into a range of sizes, and you've been pregnant, do you have tips on looking hot for women who don't fit into the small sizes?
    With today's fashions, you can get away with just about anything. I used to think you couldn't wear the skinny jeans if you're a little bit bigger, but I've seen girls that are way curvier do it, and they look amazing. I think that if you're confident in your body, you can pull anything off. Like, Jessica Simpson, they're giving her a hard time right now, but she's just curvy. I wouldn't fall slave to trends, though, if I was bigger. I think you have to really accentuate the positive stuff, so I would say trendy dressing isn't really a good thing.

    Did you ever score with a football hottie? If so, what were you wearing?
    That's funny – I've got my husband sitting right here. Yeah, I dated a couple of football players. We went to lunch. I wore jeans and a cute cami. I don't try too hard – my off-season outfits are always with jeans. But that was many moons ago. Jeans and cute little camisole and a little army jacket. The signature L.A. dating uniform is jeans, stilettos, and a super cute blouse.

    Do you have tips for real women for posing in front of the camera? Still and video?
    Jut your hip to the side a little bit, and tilt yourself to the side a little bit. Show some cheek, they call it.

    Super Bowl parties are always filled with diet-derailing foods. What are your tricks for staying slim in those situations?
    Well, you know, it's easy. When you're doing the Super Bowl like I've done, you know you're going to be in front of millions of people ... and there's nothing worse than feeling fat on camera. I'm a big believer in not doing the snacks beforehand, or the hors d'oeuvres, and just going right for, like, the Super Bowl chili. And not having it with cornbread. And not drinking beer with it.

    If you were throwing the party or bringing food, what would you make or buy?
    Turkey chili. Turkey chili! That's my go-to. The turkey chili I cook is the best because it's healthy and people like chili on football days. They like drinking beer and eating chili and cornbread.

It's important to know what Jillian thinks because most of America thinks that Jillian should shut her face.
