These days DeGeneres dresses in dapper suits selected by stylist Kellen Richards, but things were far different when she did stand-up comedy in the eighties.

'I've gotten better over the years. This didn't happen to me right away. I shop a lot and I study a lot and I look at a lot of books and magazines. I just learned what I like,' Ellen admitted.

'I had taste before money, but I just knew I had to get in the market. It's like jumping into a moving jump rope. You're kind of scared to death to do it but you have to get in there.'

The Finding Nemo actress currently hosts her daytime talk show Ellen: The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which airs weekdays.
