Tim Gunn has advised divas for years on "Project Runway," so working with a princess is no big deal. In the new Disney Junior animated series "Sofia the First," which debuts Friday, Jan. 11, Gunn's royal steward character, Baileywick, helps Sofia adapt to royal life after her mother marries a king. He also guides her on developing manners, grace and an independent spirit. "I feel very comfortable in this role," he says.
