The Summer House cast brought their A-game for Season 8, and that includes their reunion looks. In a season that was (refreshingly) focused on girl power, the ladies told BravoTV they wanted to dress like goddesses. Everyone looks great, and the cast as a whole also gets extra points for dressing cohesively. It’s probably the best-dressed Summer House reunion ever. But some stand out more than others. Here’s our ranking from worst to best.
Remember, this ranking is purely subjective. Summer should be fun, and so should discussing reunion looks!
Carl Radke
I feel like Carl Radke wears this every day, especially the tight white pants. Because of that, it’s not screaming special occasion, which a reunion is. Carl told Bravo he was inspired by Leon Bridges, and would call this outfit “Tortured Motown Singer Goes To The Hamptons”. I’m not seeing that at all. It’s not a bad outfit, just not memorable. And it’s much more casual than the others.
Danielle Olivera
Danielle Olivera said she was inspired by fellow reality star Kourtney Kardashian. I’m not really seeing a comparison, aside from the shorter haircut. Danielle always looks great, but this dress reads a little too mother-of-the-bride. It’s also the one dress that doesn’t feel in sync with everyone else. Viewers know that the fashion app founder/CEO can do better.
West Wilson
Now onto breakout star West Wilson. As people have pointed out before, West’s resemblance to Robin Williams is uncanny. This outfit is similar to the style his celebrity doppelganger wore a lot throughout the 90s. However, the jacket in particular looks less fashionably loose and more like it’s several sizes too big.
West told Bravo that he leaned into his different style after seeing fan appreciation of it online. However, West later said he regrets everything about the reunion. We’ll see if that includes his reunion look.
Kyle Cooke
Kyle Cooke told Bravo that his stylist tailored this olive green suit, and it shows. His outfit is very polished. However, it’s hard to look past that mullet. I’m sure Amanda Batula would agree that it’s for the best that he cut it off. He looks so much better with shorter hair in the group photo, which was clearly taken at the end of taping.
Jesse Solomon
Viewers fell for Jesse Solomon, and his bromance with West, this season. And his strong rookie season continues through the reunion. Well, at least through the reunion looks.
Congrats to Jesse for winning best dressed amongst the guys! This is a classic summer suit, and you can’t go wrong with that. Also, his smile is a great accessory.
Lindsay Hubbard
Lindsay Hubbard told Bravo she wanted to feel comfortable. I’m sure this reunion was a lot for HubbHouse, so I can’t blame her for prioritizing that. She also mentioned wanting to look “classy” and “upgraded”, which I’d say also applies. Lindsay looks pretty and sophisticated, but it’s just not as interesting or inspiring as the top entries in this ranking.
Ciara Miller
Here’s where the ranking gets difficult! Depending on the day, I might pick any one of the following four looks as best dressed.
This is definitely a stunning ensemble. Ciara Miller said she was inspired by the 90s, especially for her hair and makeup. She certainly looks like a supermodel from that era.
Right now, we still don’t know how Ciara and West’s situationship worked out. If West did fumble the bag, this is a brilliant revenge dress to show him what he’s missing.
Paige DeSorbo
Like West, Paige DeSorbo has a strong resemblance to a beloved movie star. In Paige’s case, it’s Audrey Hepburn. This David Koma dress looks like a modern spin on Audrey’s timeless style.
Paige told Bravo that she was inspired by two other actresses, Zendaya and Anne Hathaway. She looks classy and elegant while still showing plenty of skin. And the delicate jewelry is perfect, as it always is with Paige’s style.
However, at this point, the ranking comes down to tiny quibbles. Personally, the illusion netting makes my eye twitch.
Gabby Prescod
To quote Paige’s greeting for her pal, Gabby Prescod looks “GORGEOUS!!” Gabby’s drapey dress shows off her incredible figure, and the detailed neckline frames her amazing face. She described the look to Bravo as “giving Grecian goddess” “Birth of Venus” and “Botcelli-esque”. I’d say all of those descriptions fit perfectly.
Amanda Batula
Amanda told Bravo she was going for a “modern-day goddess” vibe. “I just wanted to look like an elegant lady, but cool,” she added. She absolutely nailed it. The bright white pops beautifully against her bronzed skin. And the high slit is giving Angelina Jolie at the Oscars. Amanda also gets extra points for her perfect accessory choices with this chunky gold jewelry.
Her arc this whole season has been about Amanda coming out from Kyle’s shadow and showing her full potential. Being best dressed at the reunion feels like the right way to cap things off.
