'Desperate Housewives' first look: Vanessa Williams takes the reins

We knew that Vanessa Williams would create a stir on Wisteria when we were the first to report she was in talks to join "Desperate Housewives" fresh off her stint as Wilhelmina on "Ugly Betty."

But, we could have never predicted she would create a changing of the guard. In the new promo photo for Season 7 released by ABC and first posted by EW, Williams is front and center and looking smokin' hot. They all do, really.

The other surprise? Apparently, they've ditched the blond wig she was reportedly going to don as Renee, the cougar with a marriage on the rocks and her eyes on Bree's younger man, played by Brian Austin Greene.

If the producers were hoping to show a revitalized "Desperate Housewives," this photo sure does the job, no?

Vanessa definitely brings interest to the aging program. And she's SMOKIN' in this photo!

I love the fact that the story before this one is about Vanessa's ex husband Rick Fox and possibly him being on Dancing With The Stars. He is one lucky guy since he's now dating the delicious Eliza Dushku.

I heard Vanessa Williams was coming to desperate housewives and this show suddenly got interesting again. She should stay on as a regular. I love her she is one of the best actresses. I hadn't watched the last two seasons but with her on here I am likely to stay tuned......

Vanessa is looking fierce. And I am sorry but girlfriend hasn't aged a bit. Rick Fox new young girl can't hold a candle to Vanessa stunning beauty. Can't wait to see Vanessa on one of my favorite shows
