Former Miss Jamaica Universe finalist participates in "Real Housewives of Dubai"

Lesa "Milan" Hall, a former Miss Jamaica Universe finalist, is one of the cast members of "The Real Housewives of Dubai," the latest instalment of the hit American reality television franchise, which premieres on Bravo on Wednesday.

Hall, who is described on the show's website as "a successful fashion designer and entrepreneur living out her dreams in Dubai," will be inducted alongside five other "housewives" into the network's crown jewel of catfights and marital meltdowns that is beloved, binge-watched, and hate-watched around the world. Other contestants include Caroline Stanbury, a reality star who moved to Dubai with her children after divorcing and remarrying a former football player; Caroline Brooks an Afro-Latina businesswoman from Massachusetts who rose to success in Dubai's cutthroat real estate industry; Nina Ali, an ultra-glam Lebanese mother of three and founder of Fruit Cake, a fruitcake business; and Chanel Ayan, a breezy Kenyan-born model who overcame prejudices.

Bravo will produce an international version of the show for the first time in the show's 16-year history. While the brand has sold a slew of international spinoffs from Lagos to Vancouver, the network has yet to develop one.

In 2009, Hall competed in the Miss Universe Jamaica contest, and from 2008 to 2009, she was a member of the cast of BET's College Hill.

According to the show's website, Hall "is also a devoted wife to her millionaire financier and real estate developer husband, Richard Hall, and the proud mother to their three children – Maximillian, Sebastian, and Kristian," as well as the founder and chief designer of luxury maternity fashion brand Mina Roe, which has been worn and loved by celebrities.
