One of our favorite fashion people, Diane von Furstenberg–who apparently just goes by DvF now, as Diddy goes by Diddy-Dirty Money–is great in front of an audience. She says ridiculous, off-the-cuff things that are actually true, and it’s hilarious.

And last night on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, DvF didn’t disappoint, dolling out some real–as in real funny–advice:

Best snack that won’t make you gain weight? “Your nails.”
Biggest turn off in a man? “I don’t like men who tell jokes. I like shy men. My husband was a very shy when I met him.”
One thing you should never wear past the age of 30? “Diapers.”

She also let on about how her career-launching wrap dress came about.

When was the first time a celebrity wore your clothes? “It was Nixon’s daughter Julie and she made a speech and she wore a little wrap top with a matching skirt and i thought that was really nice and that’s when I decided actually to attach it and turn it into a dress.”

DvF looks smokin’ in that 70′s shot. The amazing thing – you could absolutely wear the exact same outfit today and look really elegant. Love her droll sense of humour – you can tell that she has led a full life outside of fashion too.

love her too…and wrap dresses are one of the most amazing pieces of clothing ever!

Wrap dresses – great on everyone EXCEPT me. I had an embarrassing unwrapping incident in one of her dresses many years ago….

Hi the_dark_lady_2! I totally agree that DvF looks smokin’ in the 70s. Best is that she still does look hot — despite the fact that she’s opted out of ridik plastic surgery. She’s one smart, sexy woman who’s not afraid to age. Love & Kisses to Diane_v_F, for being who she is.

I agree totally with you, though I’m a bit pissed off with her – when complimented on her beauty she says “No I’m not.” (Can’t remember where I saw that, but it happened at least twice). DvF: you are hot because you are charismatic, hilariously funny and look great. Lap up the adoration, don’t push it away!
