There's a glamorous chaise longue smack in the middle of Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos's bathroom. With its tufting and plush white upholstery, it's the kind of piece you'd imagine a femme fatale lounging on in a 1940s MGM picture and in fact that was sort of its inspiration.

"You know the movie Mommie Dearest?" says Ripa, who since April 2023 has cohosted ABC's morning show Live with Kelly and Mark with her husband, Mark Consuelos, after her more-than-two-decade run with previous cohosts.

"There's an amazing scene where Faye Dunaway playing Joan Crawford is lying on a white satin chaise in her dressing room, putting lotion on her elbow."

RIPA, IN A GUEST IN RESIDENCE SWEATER, VINCE SKIRT, AND GIANVITO ROSSI PUMPS, AND CONSUELOS, WEARING A DOUBLE RL SWEATER, CANALI JEANS, AND ROLEX WATCH, IN THE MEDIA LOUNGE. CUSTOM BLACK LACQUER FOLDING SCREEN IN THE MANNER OF EILEEN GRAY; FRANCIS JOURDAIN FLOOR LAMP FROM FORTUNA MODERNISM; BESPOKE SLEEPER SOFA UPHOLSTERED IN DUALOY LEATHER; FIBER OPTIC COCKTAIL TABLE FROM ARTS DU XX.

To demonstrate, she daintily raises her left elbow and, with the pointer finger of her opposite hand, mimics Dunaway's lotion-applying gesture with the exaggerated theatricality of an old-time Hollywood diva. "I had Bill make me an identical replica of it!"
