Melissa Rivers, who spent years ruthlessly critiquing A-list celebs on the red carpet for their couture choices, has finally opened up her closet for assessment! RadarOnline.com’s Griffin Matthews took a coveted tour of Melissa’s palatial and impeccably organized closet, and the fashion guru dished on all of her style secrets.

Melissa walks Griffin through the color coded racks of Chanel, Valentino, Alexander McQueen and Old Navy, which are divided into “real” and “fake” life sections.

Pointing to a fab vintage Chanel cocktail dress, she explains the versatility of the sophisticated staple.

“This could be for anything, but,” Melissa stops herself short, thinking about her famously glamorous red carpet co-host. “Well, maybe if you’re my mom you could wear this to breakfast!”

She has no job. Joan has to support Mellisa & her 10 yr old kid. She's less qualified to critique fashion than the average housewife.

There is probably thousands of dollars (at least) of clothes here, and she hangs those things on the same plastic hangers that I buy at Wal-Mart! ...I'd assume that she's use those no-snag, no droop hangers from the gal who sells hangers on qvc!
