As various styliststo the stars frantically pull together their clients’ “look” for tonight’s Oscars, there are two people they should probably thank for their jobs: Joan and Melissa Rivers.
In 1996, the mother-daughter duo pioneered award-show red carpet coverage, hosting Live From the Red Carpet for E! Entertainment Television.
After leaving E! in 2004, they returned in 2010 with Fashion Police. Joan leads a panel with Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osbourne and stylist George Kotsiopoulos as they critique celebrity style choices. Melissa is a co-executive producer and occasional panellist.
In an interview, Joan and Melissa talked about how they’re happy to be off the red carpet, celebrities’ lack of fashion risks and their own fashion mistakes.
JOAN RIVERS: I think that’s what has made Fashion Police so popular. It’s the only show that I think tells the truth. Everyone stands on the red carpet and says, ‘You’re so beautiful.’ You want to say, ‘Are you crazy? She looks terrible.’
MELISSA RIVERS: The way it’s said (on Fashion Police) is better than anybody can say it. We say it in a very entertaining way.
MELISSA RIVERS:Notepads for pages and pages and pages of notes. You look for trends. I always have a tally sheet going of specific things I see. At the SAG Awards, everybody had the same hairdo. Then you go back and you sort of analyse it and figure out what we’re gonna put in the show the next day.
JOAN RIVERS:If (E!) has somebody who is a huge star on their network. They’ll never say ‘don’t,’ but they’ll say, ‘Do you really have to say that?’ And then it’s our decision. And then it falls on us. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Depends on your mood.
JOAN RIVERS: In the beginning, they would come dressed on their own. Even some of them were making their dresses. Kim Basinger designed her dress one year. Joanne Woodward once made her dress. You want to go, ‘Why? You’re not in a trailer park. You don’t have to.’ Now they all have their own stylists and look like they can go to war.
MELISSA RIVERS: They’re in uniform.
JOAN RIVERS: One shoulder, slit to the leg, hair on one side. They can line right up.
MELISSA RIVERS: What’s sad is they lose their personalities and what you want to show is your own personal fashion sense and your personality. A lot of them don’t know. They’re too scared to (do it).
JOAN RIVERS: I even like Florence Welch because as crazy as she looks ... she goes with her own idea of what’s good-looking. Thank God.
JOAN RIVERS:She looked like she was sitting on a teapot.
MELISSA RIVERS: On the runway it was long, it was amazing. I didn’t love it short.
JOAN RIVERS: Yes. It’s my place to make the viewer out there have fun and share my opinion. And you know what? If I’m not invited to the party, I wasn’t invited anyhow.
MELISSA RIVERS: Certain stylists have a very distinct look.
Do you ever look at your own fashion and say, ‘What was I thinking?’
JOAN AND MELISSA RIVERS: Yes.
JOAN RIVERS: Fashion should be fun. If for one night you look like an idiot, it’s OK. Don’t take it so seriously Victoria Beckham. Calm down, it’s a stupid dress. There are a couple pictures that show up and I go, ‘How could I walk out of the house?’ But you did and you survive.
