Kathy Griffin is still rocking the same look, over 15 years later!

On Monday, July 29, the comedian, 63, shared an Instagram video that featured her giving her followers a tour of her closet — as she wore a vintage mint green silk Dolce & Gabbana dress she last wore to Bravo's "A-List Awards" in 2008.

"From the '90s," she joked before beginning the tour. "'Cause that's how long I've been going to award shows and losing. C'mon along!"

Starting off the video, the My Life on the D-List star showed off her huge walk-in closet filled with drawers, racks and shelves full of clothing, shoes and other knickknacks — including some sparkling tiaras and crowns.

"These are just some of the crowns that I have won as a judge of many drag shows for many decades," she told fans in the clip.

Some specific items the comedian highlighted were a sheer Valentino top that features embroidered flowers and a giant butterfly in red, gold and silver thread, a sparkling red and gold button-down dress with a collar and belt around the waist, and a red silk Salvatore Ferragamo matching shirt and pants set.

"I love this Valentino top that so many of you online hated, and you're all wrong," she quipped.

Another high-profile item Griffin has in her closet is a pink Chanel sweater.

"I've had it for so long that the buttons broke," she said of the designer piece. "If anyone knows that estate of Coco Chanel, please write them and let them know I need them."

The former Fashion Police star also showed off her massive shoe collection, joking that she can't even wear her towering designer heels or boots anymore.

"These [Jimmy Choo] boots are really cool," she joked, "and I can wear them for approximately four minutes before I start to cry."

One other unique item — that hangs framed on her wall instead of on Griffin's hangers — is her mother's vintage one-piece swimsuit.

"Now this is kinda cute," she said. "This is my mom's bathing suit from when she was, like, in her 20s. Maggie Griffin, who's in heaven — or hell, we're not sure!"

"Now this is more my speed," she added, showing off a pair of boots with a much, much shorter heel, as well as her wall of flat shoes — including tons of Dr. Martens, which she calls herself "an expert" in.

Ending the short video, Griffin plugged her upcoming stand-up tour — and teased some more fashion history to come.

"If you thought we were done... you're wrong," she finished, before the clip faded to black.

She is set to embark on her My Life on The PTSD-List in August in Norwalk, Conn., with stops in Los Angeles, Honolulu, New York City and more, before ending her stint on the road in Chicago on New Year's Eve.

The comedian's hilarious closet tour is just one of the social media videos she's shared in the past week to show off her recently operated-on vocal chords, after they were injured during her treatment for lung cancer.

The comedian previously revealed that she underwent a "groundbreaking" surgery in June to repair her voice after undergoing lung surgery in which "the surgeon actually killed my left vocal cord permanently."

"I got a lady surgeon — a lady this time," she joked on Friday, July 26, in a video updating her followers on her newfound voice. "... I have an implant in my left vocal cord, and you guys, I sound like myself again. I can yell, and I'm so excited for that!"
