Jeans simply wouldn't cut it for Joan; she was all glam all the time.
In this video, Melissa Rivers explores a piece of performance history that perfectly encapsulates the dazzling persona of her mother, Joan Rivers. This is the stunning, custom-made, pink champagne-colored sequined and feathered coat she wore during her stand-up act in the 2010s.
More than just a beautiful garment, this coat represents a pivotal moment in her career. It symbolizes her transition to stardom, a journey that began in the 1960s when she first sewed sequins onto a simple black dress to command the Las Vegas stage. From that moment on, glamour became a fundamental part of her act.
This stage-worn coat, along with a photo of her wearing it, is a tangible piece of her legacy—a testament to her "over-the-top glam" and her philosophy that a star should always shine.
This extraordinary item is part of The Joan Rivers Auction, LIVE on Thursday, October 9, 2025, online and in-person at The Peninsula Beverly Hills.
