Ripa and Consuelos Previously Talked About Their On-Air Wardrobes
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos previously discussed their on-air wardrobes.
On the Tuesday, September 8 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Ripa and Consuelos got candid with People about their on-air wardrobes and their stylist.
Ripa revealed that her stylist, Audrey Slater-Spiegel, knows exactly what outfit will suit her depending on the length of her leg hair.
“[Audrey] also knows when I don’t feel like shaving my leg, so that’s a pants leg. She’ll be like, ‘What day of hair growth on your legs is this,’” she said.
Kelly Ripa shared the one fashion rule she doesn't abide by: The tradition tied to Labor Day.
She then went on to share the fashion rule she doesn’t abide by.
“I don’t follow that rule,” Ripa said of the unspoken tradition tied to the September holiday of Labor Day, which fell on Monday, September 7, this year.
The old-money social custom from the late 19th and early 20th centuries dictates that white summer clothes should be put away once Labor Day has passed.
Ripa said, “I never follow that rule, I’m in white pants year-round.”
Meanwhile, Consuelos and his stylist confessed they often go for monochromatic pairings that also push the host’s style slightly out of the box.
“She also pushes me into areas that I’m like, ‘Really?’ and she’s like, ‘Yeah, trust me,’ and it always works,” he revealed.
