PEOPLE truly the sexiest living TV host!
If Mark Consuelos didn’t deserve the title before, he certainly does now. On Friday, November 22, the actor and presenter, 53, was unveiled as Stuart Weitzman’s first male global ambassador. The cult brand launched its men’s collection earlier this year.
Consuelos revealed his big moment as a model alongside his wife Kelly Ripa on the Nov. 22 episode Living with Kelly and Mark.
“I’m happy to announce that Mark, yes, our Mark, Mark Consuelos, is the first Stuart Weitzman Men’s Global Brand Ambassador,” Ripa cheered. “I came across some photos from the shoot. Believe it or not this man sells shoes. That’s right, shoes.”
The couple also presented Consuelos’ New York poster Stuart Weitzman.
“You can see him at the corner of 54th Street and Broadway, where I practically met him 30 years ago,” Ripa joked.
Counsuelos said he is “so excited” to be part of the Stuart Weitzman family.
“It’s funny that when I went on set, they had racks and racks of beautiful clothes,” he said, and Ripa chimed in, “None of what you wore.”
In the campaign photos, shot in black and white by fashion photographer Ned Rogers, Consuelos shows off her ripped physique while wearing nothing but underwear, a casual jacket and, of course, some Stuart Weitzman boots.

“I am thrilled to be named Stuart Weitzman’s first Men’s Global Ambassador,” Consuelos said in a press release. “I know the brand thanks to my wife, who has many blue shoe boxes in her closet. I am honored to be considered the definition of a Stuart Weitzman man.”
He continued: “When I told her about the campaign concept of strong, sophisticated and sexy, she encouraged me to go for it – and put all my hours in the gym to good use!”
The star wears two different fall styles from the latest men’s collection: the Aiden Boot, a lace-up style, and the Adam Boot, a Chelsea boot-inspired design. Both have a stretchy shaft and a lightweight sole.
