Salma Hayek about Joan Rivers ‘Red carpets will not be the same without her’

Hundreds of mourners, including celebrities and paparazzi, joined together to offer their condolences and say their last goodbyes.

Salma Hayek made the one statement we’ve all been thinking: the red carpets just won’t be the same without Joan Rivers’ acerbic with, punchy one-liners and seething style observations.

While Hayek was at the Toronto film festival promoting the premiere of her new animation project, The Prophet, she stopped to speak with E! Entertainment Senior Writer and Editor Mark Malkin.

“She’s an icon,” Hayek said. “It won’t be he same without her—red carpets will not be the same without her.”

Hayek should know, as she is married to fashion. Her husband, Francois-Henri Pinault owns more than a few fashion houses, including Gucci, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen and Yves Saint Laurent, labels that always make appearances on the red carpet.

Malkin went on to ask Hayek about Rivers’ penchant for her funny but biting red-carpet commentary for E!’s Fashion Police.

“It was of course OK,” Hayek said. “She invented a whole way of making fun a little bit of fashion. We’re going to miss her.”

The New York Times reports that Rivers’ funeral, held today, went just the way she planned.

In her  2012 book, I Hate Everyone …Starting With Me, Rivers joked about her own death, writing that she wanted her funeral to be “a huge showbiz affair with lights, cameras, action … I want craft services, I want paparazzi and I want publicists making a scene!”, she wrote. “I don’t want some rabbi rambling on; I want Meryl Streep crying, in five different accents.”

The Queen of Comedy deserved no less, and that’s exactly what she received. Hundreds of mourners, including celebrities and paparazzi, joined together to offer their condolences and say their last goodbyes.

The New York Times went on to report that Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters, Howard Stern, Rosie O’Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg and Charlie Rose were just a small group of celebrities who attended the event. Even more fans and spectators gathered on Fifth Avenue opposite Central Park to honor Rivers.
