Kelly Ripa is ensuring she is dressed to the nines for her funeral. The 53-year-old host revealed that she already has a dress picked out for the future ceremony, just in case her husband is not up to the task. “I’m so fearful if he has to eulogize me,” Ripa, explained on the Friday, January 12, episode of “Live With Kelly and Mark.” “First of all, at the funeral, it’ll be a buffet of all my least favorite things.

It’ll be deviled eggs, it’ll be chicken wings, it’ll be glasses of milk.”Consuelos, who celebrated his 27th anniversary with Ripa in 2023, was quick to chime in and joked that his longtime leading lady wouldn’t be around to have any control over the festivities. “Hey, watch out because I’m going to have to dress you as well,” he quipped. “You better be nice now or I’m going to put you in something crazy!”But Ripa, who knows a thing or two about fashion, was not worried and informed Consuelos of something even crazier: she already had a dress label hanging in her closet and ready to go.“It’s a Dolce & Gabbana black dress,” Ripa revealed. “It’s 10 years old.

It’s elegant, it’s gorgeous, it’s black, it’s adorable.” During a previous episode in 2016, the “All My Children” alum explained to Michael Strahan, her co-host, why she had already thought about her funeral. “The only reason I thought about what I wanted to be buried in is because I once passed out … after I had my first child,” she recalled.
