The ladies bring “Warrior Vibes” to their Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 reunion looks. The season has been one of the best in years, thanks to the feud between Alexis Bellino and Shannon Beador. Each OC housewife has made sure to step up their narrative and deliver. As the season winds down, fans can now look forward to the tell-all reunion, which will air in multiple parts. Thankfully, the women never skimp when it comes to a glam look, so let’s look at who came in number one! Here are the RHOC Season 18 reunion looks, ranked!
1. Gina Kirschenheiter is shining bright like a diamond
Without a doubt, Gina Kirschenheiter brought her A-game for the Season 18 reunion. She has had a pretty stable season, as her story showed her having the love of her life move out of their shared home. The most recent episode, however, put Gina in the crossfires with Tamra Judge and Shannon after learning that the women might have tried to dig up legal information on her. But Gina isn’t letting these women get her down, and her reunion dress goes to prove it. Gina stood tall in her Bravo promo pic, wearing Alex Perry’s golden mini dress. The low-cut scoop neck added to the sex appeal, and the stilettos by Tom Ford were a knockout. By far, Gina has the number one look. She just looks NATURAL, and that’s always a win.
2. Jennifer Pedranti is showing off her inner goddess
I don’t care if she bought a thousand-dollar dress or if Ryan Boyajian maxed out his credit card for this look because Jennifer Pedranti looks like a knockout. The dress reminds me of a higher quality Abercrombie and Fitch slip dress. While I am unsure which designer Jen chose to wear, I am almost positive it wasn’t off the rack. The copper metallic hue revealed Jen’s natural beauty as she styled her hair down and lightly waved. For the accessories, Jen wore a gold, tear-drop necklace that sat beautifully on her chest, drawing the eye down. Honestly, the dress was everything.
3. Cranberry never looked so good on Katie Ginella
The newbie came in hot with her Real Housewives of Orange County reunion look. Between her ongoing fight with Heather Dubrow and trying to make friends, Katie Ginella really made the most of her orange. Katie chose a mesh dress by Sau Lee in a vibrant cranberry color. The outfit gave me business-on-the-bottom, party-on-top vibes. The look was perhaps the most elegant, and it made sense that Katie wanted to look her absolute best at her first reunion. Dare I say Andy Cohen might even be impressed. To complete her look, Katie wore diamonds and rubies. It’s giving “very rich, b*tch.”
4. Emily Simpson has the Midas touch
Emily Simpson has had a trying season. Between fighting with Alexis and having to deal with the charity dress faux pas, I am glad the lawyer showed up looking dazzling. For the Season 18 reunion, Emily chose a long golden gown made by Hervé Léger. The silhouette hugged Emily in all the right places, and there was no doubt that she picked this dress to show off her curves. The mother of three wore her hair down in beautiful waves and accented her dress with diamond earrings. I loved Emily’s shoes, though! The Gianvito Rossi peep toe slingbacks just looked royal. Overall, Emily made a great outfit choice, and I hope she felt as confident as she looked in the promo pictures.
5. Heather Dubrow channeled her inner Fancy Pants
Heather shared with Bravo that she was going for a “clean, simple, chic look with espresso martini vibes.” Heather’s dress wasn’t too far off from last year’s reunion look, where she wore a long black cutout dress. However, I can see how the mother of four upped her game, despite not having her best season, with the off-the-shoulder Retrofete/Seroya number. The dark chocolate hue really complimented Heather as she added mesh Saint Lauren shoes for good measure. I think Heather is looking “very demure, very mindful” for her Season 18 reunion look. It’s giving high Hollywood glamor!
6. Tamra Judge is giving Amazonian queen
I don’t hate Tamra’s dress choice at all. I just think that some of the other dresses had a bit more thought put into them. Tamra’s dark grape mini dress by The Attico is perfect for her petite frame. The ready-to-wear piece only cost Tammy Sue $1,390. The look is edgy, which just screams Tamra to me – even if I think she should have been sent home from London. My favorite part is the belt accent on the side cut out. The Season 18 reunion will be a jungle of drama, so it makes sense that Tamra wanted to pick something she could maneuver in. If all else fails, she can slide off those Gucci shoes and use them as a makeshift weapon because I think the girls will be coming for her hard.
7. Alexis Bellino misses the mark
The 2000s called, and they want Alexis’ dress back. In my opinion, there isn’t a wow factor for Alexis with this RHOC Season 18 reunion look. It won’t be joining her Season 18 best moments. While I think she looks fabulous, the dress itself just doesn’t shout Bravo reunion to me. She was styled and dressed by Atelier Couture by DNA Couture Boutique, but I think she was let down. The glitzy brown halter mini just felt outdated. Alexis told Bravo that her look was all about a “chic, sexy fall vibe with a touch of sparkle because I love bling.”
8. Shannon Beador, Duchess of Newport, has arrived
Sadly, I find Shannon last on my list. I wanted so badly to like her look, but it just gave me nothing. The Nadine Merabi dress in its pristine cream color shouted “royal” from the rooftop, but I don’t think the Season 18 reunion was the right platform for such a dress. Shannon sported long sleeves and a square neckline, which complemented her. The dress needed to be longer for the sleeves to work. However, I loved Shannon’s baby blue platform heels. Thankfully, Shannon is said to do great at the RHOC Season 18 reunion, despite this look.
The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 is available to stream on Peacock.
