Joan Rivers' Best Red Carpet Moments Of All Time

Joan Rivers was crass at times (okay, all the time), fiercely witty and, of course, ridiculously stylish.

The comedian is essentially responsible for red carpets as we know them today. In fact, she is pretty much the reason anyone even cares to answer the question, "Who are you wearing?" When you combine a love of fashion with an even greater love of comedy, you wind up with some pretty epic, sartorial antics.

In honor of her funny, fashion-filled life, we've rounded up some of our favorite Joan Rivers style moments.
