Dressing up with Kelly Osbourne

When I was three I was obsessed with Andy Pandy’s striped dungarees. I insisted on wearing dungarees every day.

Girls at my school picked on me for wearing things Dad brought back from tour. Once it was a Carmen Miranda dress — complete with a fruity hairband — that I wore to a friend’s seventh birthday party.

I’ve always been adamant about how I dress. I had a polyester crop top with New York taxis on it when I was eight. It seems cool now, but at the time it was the ugliest thing people had ever seen.

Seeing Boy George on Top of the Pops blew my mind. He was so beautiful. Now we’re friends and I often call him to ask what he thinks of a particular trend.

I’m obsessed with Haysi Fantayzee, Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood. Their style is what made me love fashion.

Whenever someone tries to make me look sexy I crumble. I don’t know how.

Looking in my closet I can see a feathered bra, a shirt that says ‘F*** you, you f***ing f***’ next to Chanel Couture and a unicorn costume.

My biggest fashion faux pas was a cigarette for an earring, so much eyeliner I looked like a panda and black hair. I was trying to prove how

miserable I was.

My first major fashion purchase was a Christian Dior bow tie in the late 1990s. My mum Sharon bought it for me (it was $750) and made me do one chore for every cent that it cost to show me you can get what you want as long as you work hard for it.

Amy Winehouse and I used to share clothes. She’d wear my Louboutins. Just because we’re celebrities doesn’t mean we aren’t normal girls. We all share — Pixie, Alexa and me — we’re not the kind of girls who keep everything to ourselves.

I’d love to be buried in a nun’s sparkly habit, like a Sister Act drag queen. But as long as it sparkles I don’t care.

I got a tattoo of a piano on my arm to piss my parents off. I don’t even know how to play the piano. I was in a bad place when I had it and I’m having it removed.

My purple hair was inspired by Dame Edna and a photo shoot in Vogue that featured supermodels with different rinses having afternoon tea. You don’t have to be old to have a rinse.
