BUtterfield 8 38,340 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 "Whoever thought that walking into a building could be turned into an event?" So remarked Melissa Rivers about the pioneering work she and her mother, Joan Rivers, did while covering red carpets and hosting the show Fashion Police. Rivers forecasted doom for the red carpet tradition, and not solely because of the coronavirus pandemic. Rivers forecasted doom for the red carpet tradition, and not solely because of the coronavirus pandemic. "The red carpet has been on life support for quite a while, sadly," she said, citing that the seismic shift that came with the #MeToo movement. While recognizing that it started "desperately needed conversations," it essentially put the kibosh on asking questions like "who are you wearing?" The question is still valid, she thinks, because the designers deserve credit. Source Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieQuinn 1,536 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 It played a big part on the begging of Gaga's career. Its a tradition. (and like any other tradition, people will find it offensive) Joan's humor would be something that people would cancel nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToxicHot 6,425 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Why exactly would it never recover? I understand that right now, the pandemic has made it difficult, but celebrities are still being interviewed virtually. Obviously it’s not the same as being in-person, but last year the red carpet seemed fine at the Grammys, Oscars, Golden Globes (pre-covid)? Also, side-note, I miss Fashion Police. dOnT sAd ReAcT mE 2 bE sHaDy i WiLL RePoRt U!!1! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

freebit 6,069 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I don't get why she thinks women don't want to talk about the clothes they're wearing, as far as I know not wanting to talk about the designer was just Brie Larson's thing. For example, newer gen stars like Cardi B definitely enjoy talking about what they're wearing and will proudly state whether it's a Mugler, Versace, Prada etc. Even Billie is lowkey into it. During Covid era red carpets, you can tell Gaga, Elle Fanning, Gemma Chan, Anya Taylor Joy etc. are all itching to go back to slaying it on the red carpets.

Maybe she made some insensitive jokes but let's not paint her as an evil person, because she was far from it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
