One thing that viewers of "Revealed" will certainly discover is that Veronica Valencia Hughes loves to wear hats. As she explained to HGTV, donning a hat was initially a way of coping with insecurity, which had developed due to the stutter she'd battled since childhood. "Hats were my alter ego," she said, but pointed out that those hats also came to become a signature look while working on a design. "People were always like, 'Find the girl with the hat!' Now they're just my thing," she explained. 

When it comes to those chapeaus, her hands-down favorites come from designer Janessa Leone. "I splurge on a couple of them every year, usually after I book a big job," she said. "I'm like, 'Kris, it's Janessa Leone time!'"

Insecurity may have once been a factor, but these days her self-confidence is through the roof — so much so that it was the key element in how she came to have her own show on HGTV. As she explained, some executives from the network, curious to see how well she'd fare on television, placed her on a few HGTV shows. "Then during the pandemic, and with newfound confidence, I called up one of the executives to see if he would give me a shot at my own show," she recalled. As she put it on Instagram, "I had the guts to ask for my own show."
