Imagine Kelly Osbourne in your friend circle: She'd be the one pushing you to do what you want, say what you mean, and ignore the haters, right? She's practically the Queen of Self-Expression—and, superficial sidenote, the woman's never looked better. So we talked to the Fashion Police cohost (and daughter of Ozzy and Sharon) about living life out loud.
GLAMOUR: You grew up in such a unique family. How did they impact your style?
KELLY OSBOURNE: Because [of them] I've seen the world and been exposed to all walks of life. It has a major impact on how I dress and who I am. I have this ability to really not care if people don't like what I'm wearing.
GLAMOUR: In that vein, when did you start using your hair to express yourself?
KELLY OSBOURNE: When I was 13, I had hair the color of gold down to my butt. I had an argument with my mom and yelled, "F--k you!" and chopped off half my hair. My dad could not look at me without pissing himself laughing.
GLAMOUR: Your mom's not a fan of your new trademark lavender either, right?
KELLY OSBOURNE: She wishes I would go back to blond. She'll call me, really serious, and say, "I think it's time for a change." I'm like, "Mom, you have hair the color of a fire engine."
GLAMOUR: You've tried tons of shades. Why not your mom's?
KELLY OSBOURNE: I would look like her mini- me. I tried red once, and I looked like a carrot. I also wouldn't go too brown, because then I would look like my father. But I've tried green, blue, purple, black. The lavender I really like.
GLAMOUR: What do you say to people who snipe about your own risky, fabulous hair?
KELLY OSBOURNE: I dyed my hair shades of gray because I like it, and it pissed a lot of people off. Now I get tweeted 20 pictures a day of girls coloring their hair like mine. So if you don't like it, sorry—you have housewife hair.
GLAMOUR: Your controversial $250,000 diamond mani at last year's Emmys...any regrets?
KELLY OSBOURNE: They picked a few people to wear it for publicity; it was an honor. It's a lot of money, but you're telling me you'd say no? Hello! You can shut up.
Wow, isn't Kelly's approach to beauty refreshing? Do you use beauty to express yourself too?
