Every once in a while, you see a moment on a red carpet that leaves you speechless. Teddi Mellencamp just did that for us. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum showed up at a gala last night rocking a shaved head and bearing her brain surgery scars for the world to see. It’s another stunning moment in her ongoing cancer battle, and we’re over here in awe at her courage.
Teddi Mellencamp looks incredible as she proudly displays her brain surgery scars on the red carpet
In February 2025, Teddi revealed to her fans that her doctors had discovered multiple tumors on her brain. Since then, she’s been extremely transparent with her journey, documenting the painful recovery process all while still managing to release new episodes of her podcasts, take care of her kids, and navigate a lawsuit with a disgruntled former employee. She’s navigating this whole thing with grace.
On April 28, Teddi stepped out in Beverly Hills for An Unforgettable Evening Gala, which benefited the Women’s Cancer Research Fund. She rocked a black suit, silver heels, and a bald head revealing the scars from where doctors removed multiple tumors from her brain.
At the event, Teddi was accompanied by her bestie, Kyle Richards, and the two appeared in good spirits throughout the night. The red carpet appearance is Teddi’s first formal event since her diagnosis, and it comes a week after she shared some positive news in her cancer battle.
“One update I couldn’t wait to share,” Teddi wrote on Instagram. “All tumors (metastasized melanoma in my brain and lungs) shrunk or disappeared, so I have 6ish more weeks of immunotherapy and doctors believe I will be healed if everything stays on course.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
