Fashion Police is back. After a controversial few months since its original hosts left the show the program was put on hold. Now, original host Giuliana Rancic is joined by Brad Goreski and Melissa Rivers.

New host Melissa Rivers took over her mother Joan Rivers' place after she died unexpectedly on Sept. last year. Her death was soon followed by a string of controversies over an alleged racist comment Rancic made offending her co-hosts Kathy Griffin and Kelly Osbourne. Both shortly left the show because of the incident.

But despite leaving the show in offense, Osbourne still sent well wishes to the show's new host. She tweeted, "Mel Rivers congratulations on an awesome show tonight!"

Monday's return of "Fashion Police" aptly opened with Rivers "cleaning" the set hinting on the past storms that hit the TV show, People reported.

"Hi, yeah, it's been a little bit of a crazy year around here, and, well, I'm still cleaning up messes. But the good news is, Fashion Police is back," the new host quipped.  

The show's comeback episode also had guest celebrities NeNe Leakes and Margaret Cho.

But "Fashion Police" still paid tribute to one of its most beloved former hosts Joan. Her daughter Melissa introduced a new segment the show is having called "What Would Joan Say," ABC News reported. In the segment the hosts, even viewers, will speculate on what Joan would say about a celebrity's outfit if she was there.

Joan has been known to make straightforward, very frank comments about celeb fashion.

"Honestly, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't personally see something and think, 'What would my mom say about this?" Melissa said.

For their pilot episode, "Fashion Police" talked about celebrities at the recent MTV Video Music Awards. They specifically highlighted in outfits worn by Miley Cyrus, Amber Rose, Blac Chyna, and praised that of Taylor Swift.
