Welcome to another episode of NoUglyChicksPodcast — this week I had the absolute pleasure of sitting with Dianne Brill, the original Queen of the Night.
In the 1980s and ’90s, Dianne was the woman everyone wanted to know — a muse, model, fashion designer, author, and ultimate New York nightlife icon. Known for her platinum-blonde hair, corseted looks, and magnetic presence, she embodied glamour at a time when the city was electric with art, music, and rebellion. Andy Warhol called her “the girl who had it all.”
In this episode, we dive into Dianne’s fascinating journey — from moving to New York City and redefining the art of nightlife, to building her own cosmetics line and publishing her empowering book “Boobs, Boys, and High Heels.” She opens up about her friendships and creative bonds with legends like Jean-Michel Basquiat, RuPaul, and Amanda Lepore, and how those relationships shaped her understanding of beauty, individuality, and self-expression.
Dianne Brill isn’t just a name — she’s a movement. A living reminder that being bold, confident, and authentically you never goes out of style.
