(who is also executive producer).

In 2010, the series returned to E! hosting the program running the day after events rather than airing live from the red carpet. The series became a weekly program on September 10, 2010 where they continue to discuss the do's and don'ts of celebrity fashion.

Regular segments include:
  • Rack Report, where a celebrity is guessed based solely on the amount of cleavage revealed by their outfit.

  • Bitch Stole My Look, where two or more stars are shown to have worn the same outfit on different occasions. Joan and the panelists discuss the stars in question and declare which person looked best in the outfit. Both the loser and the winner may be subject to ridicule, with the winner being chosen as the lesser of two evils.

  • Starlet or Streetwalker, in which a photograph of a person with their face obscured is presented, often the person in question will sport revealing or disheveled clothing. Joan and each of the guests has a paddle with 'Starlet' written on one side and 'Street walker' written on the other. The persons outfit is generally ridiculed, before Joan and each of the guests holds up their paddle to declare whether they think the person in question is a starlet or a street walker before the mystery persons identity is revealed. If they turn out to be a starlet they are ridiculed further. Any of the guests who guess incorrectly will be mocked. This segment has recently come under fire for its use of pictures of commercially sexually exploited women, and potentially underage girls, as a punch line for wealthy celebrities' fashion choices. The organization Girls Educational and Mentoring Services (GEMS) has started a petition to end this segment and to call on Joan Rivers and the producers of Fashion Police to educate themselves on the realities of the sex trafficking and the commercial sex industry. Rachel Lloyd, Founder and Executive Director of GEMS, wrote an an article on HuffingtonPost.com to explain how harmful and stigmatizing these kinds of segments are.

  • Guess Me From Behind, where a celebrity is guessed based solely from their behind.
