Actress Zendaya will join Brett Eldredge, snowboarding bronze medallist Amy Purdy and Taya Kyle on the judging panel of the 95th Miss America pageant.
The 18-year-old actress-singer said she is "honoured" to be a part of a show that gives platform to women, who want to make the world better place, reported People magazine.
"It's great to be part of a show that celebrates women who are in college or graduated, and striving to make the world a better place through their chosen platform, ranging from domestic violence and bullying to cancer research and female empowerment, while also embracing beauty and fashion," she said in a statement.
"I remember watching Miss America as a kid, so it's an honour to help celebrate the 95th anniversary of the competition and to help select the next Miss America.
