Hey there, friends! You know what they say—when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Well, Kelly Ripa has taken that saying to heart. During a recent Instagram Live chat with dancer Tiler Peck, Kelly hilariously revealed she’s been raiding her daughter Lola’s makeup stash to keep her talk show, Live with Kelly and Ryan, looking sharp despite the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic.

Now, picture this: Kelly, a seasoned TV host who’s always been the picture of perfection, finds herself in a bit of a pickle. “All my clothes, hair products, and makeup are locked in the studio, which is currently closed because of everything going on,” she joked on April 19. “So, I’ve been experimenting with what I’ve got at home. I keep reaching for my daughter’s self-tanner, thinking it might do the trick.” Can you imagine? The queen of daytime TV relying on teen-approved products. Talk about resourcefulness!

Quarantine Style: Kelly’s Creative Solutions

With the outbreak forcing Kelly, 49, and cohost Ryan Seacrest to broadcast from home, she’s had to get creative. “It’s a blessing to have a place to keep all my essentials,” she admitted. “But now I’m rocking an 18-year-old’s self-tanner and workout gear. Go figure!”

Daughter Lola Steps In

During her chat with Tiler, Kelly shared how Lola has been pitching in, even though they have differing fashion tastes. “I found a one-piece bathing suit in our storage closet and thought it’d be perfect for Instagram,” she recalled. “But Lola stopped me in my tracks. She said, ‘Trust me, Mom, you’ll regret it later.’” Can’t argue with that logic, right? Sometimes it’s the younger generation that knows best!

Family Bonding Amid Quarantine

Lola, a freshman at New York University, has been quarantining with her parents, Mark Consuelos and Kelly. While enjoying the extra family time, she’s been helping her mom prep for the show. Not only has Lola lent her clothes, but she’s also been styling Kelly’s hair in some pretty innovative ways. “She watched a TikTok video and learned how to use a bathrobe tie to do my hair,” Kelly revealed on an episode of Live on April 14. “And let me tell you, she nailed it!”

Who needs professional stylists and makeup artists when you’ve got a resourceful teen in the house? It’s clear that Kelly is grateful for Lola’s support during these uncertain times. “Thank goodness I’ve got her around!” Kelly exclaimed.
