We can always count on Joan Rivers to make us laugh, and this interview is no different.
The 77 year old recently chat with New York Magazine and discussed all things fashion, celebrity and the red carpet.
Here are some HIGHlights:
On hosting E’s weekly Fashion Police:
“Well, I’m not on the red carpet anymore. When you’re on the red carpet, you get word from on high: “Don├óΓé¼Γäót say anything bad about Angelina Jolie because she├óΓé¼Γäós a friend of the network. Don├óΓé¼Γäót say anything bad about Sarah Jessica Parker because she’s a friend of the network.” No one says anything bad [about celebrities] ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ they├óΓé¼Γäóre not going to say, “Your ass is too big, and you shouldn├óΓé¼Γäót be wearing that color, and you look like a fool.”
You can’t say that so what’s the point of doing the red carpet? So the Fashion Police, when they came to me, they said let her do it. I don’t have to meet them on the red carpet. I don’t have to deal with Rihanna. Rihanna and I will never meet unless we both go clubbing together, and I don’t think we’ll go to the same clubs.
On the latest red carpet trend:
“What they├óΓé¼Γäóre starting to do now, which worries me, is they├óΓé¼Γäóre all trying to copy Lady Gaga. You want to say to Katy Perry, “You├óΓé¼Γäóre beautiful! You├óΓé¼Γäóve got the body, wear a pretty dress.You don├óΓé¼Γäót have to strap electrical stuff on your dress.”
On Prada:
“I just think Prada should be shut down, and truly I think they hate Americans. I think they├óΓé¼Γäóre still angry at us for WWII.”
On her style:
“My personal style, I think, is over-the-top dowager. Because I do love the feathers this year, I love the lace, I love all that stuff. The old days they said get dressed and take one thing off, I say get dressed and put one thing on.”
On New York Vs. LA style:
“I think New York women have such style, and it├óΓé¼Γäós not about money, it├óΓé¼Γäós just the look and the pace and the activity. And in L.A., they├óΓé¼Γäóre very beautiful and they all look exactly alike, which is good because if we go to war they├óΓé¼Γäóre all in uniform. They├óΓé¼Γäóve got the same bag, the same jeans, they├óΓé¼Γäóre exactly alike. New York women, they look like they├óΓé¼Γäóre going to an art opening. They look smart. ”
On where she shops:
“I shop my closet a lot. I├óΓé¼Γäóve taken a lot of jackets and added things. I work with my stylist on it. Before you cut into a vintage Yves Saint Laurent, you better fucking know what you├óΓé¼Γäóre doing.
Every time I get together with Melissa we go to Barneys and we go to Bergdorf’s. And also the ten-dollar-and-under stores in the airport, where I buy scarves and cheap jewelry that├óΓé¼Γäós going to break, but you can wear it once. And in London, the only place you go is Topshop. I buy anything that sparkles. Topshop is just amazing because you run in, you come out, you look like a whore. It├óΓé¼Γäós great.”
On shoes:
“I wear heels every day ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ that├óΓé¼Γäós my generation. I like the high heel, but I don├óΓé¼Γäót like it with a platform. You start getting up on the platforms, nine inches ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ no, no, no, my circus days are over. I have a couple of Chanels with pearls on them and they├óΓé¼Γäóre just so beautiful, but I always wear a high heel and usually it├óΓé¼Γäós a Manolo or Stuart Weitzman.”
Love her brutal honesty!
