The Real Housewives of Potomac is coming to an iconic ending as they wrap of season 8 on Sunday, May 24, and you know the reunion is bound to bring the heat, and set the Bravo stage ablaze.
From the ladies taking a trip to Austin, Texas and the Dominican Republic, to Mia Thornton and Ashley Darby opening up about their marital issues, and newbie Nneka Ihim causing mayhem in Wendy Osefo’s world– the drama was endless this season.
Of course we have a first look at the stunning ensembles that the Potomac ladies wore to the reunion filmed in New York last month. The theme was “Art Gallery,” and the ladies bet on black this year, arriving in custom gowns that felt luxe and brought the sartorial elegance.
Ahead see the Bravolebrities, who put Potomac on the map, and made quite the entrance at the reunion.
Karen Huger in Maticevski
Although this season, Gizelle Bryant try to give newbie Nneka Ihim the ‘Grand Dame’ title , we all know that no one can uphold the title like the original Grand Dame, Karen Huger. The OG who celebrated her triple twenties this season, arrived to the reunion in sculptural Maticevski gown that was meticulously crafted, and characterized with a high slit.
Gizelle Bryant in Versace
The beautiful Gizelle Bryant has stepped her game up. For someone who was previously criticized for her sense of fashion, she has certainly evolved over the years. We love how glamorous she looked in her black Versace dress that draped around her body like a glove.
Wendy Osefo in Ann Usman
When it comes down to Dr. Wendy Osefo, we all know that she doesn’t play and the Nigerian-American commentator looked incredible in a black Ann Usman dress that she styled with a cream Johnathan Kayne cape, and custom black Walone gloves. Her embellished necklace by Ela Rose exuded royalty, and she definitely took a risk this season.
Mia Thornton in Custom Brides by Nona
One would have perhaps thought that Mia Thornton arrived to the reunion in Indian designer Gaurav Gupta based on the sculptural detailing however she actually wore an Atlanta based designer named, Nneka Alexander. From the fit and construction of the gown, to the phenomenal techniques used on the sheer bodice of her dress-we give Mia 10’s across the board.
Candace Dillard Bassett in Katya Suzdaleva
Who would Candace be if she didn’t have a mic in her hand? The actress turned songstress opted for a black lace gown by Miami, Florida designer Katya Suzdaleva. Mrs. Bassett looked like perfection and for someone who’s 5’3, she definitely carried the weight of this dress exceptionally well.
Ashley Boalch Darby in Custom Riley Knoxx Couture
Can anyone else tell that Ashley Boalch Darby isn’t letting any stress get to her? Since she moved on from her husband Michael Darby, she looks like a new and improved woman. The former Miss District of Columbia titleholder wore a custom Riley Knoxx Couture gown that was strapless and had a v- plunge neckline. The exceptional beading work on her dress made Ashley a standout sensation.
Nneka Ihim in XBL The Prestigious
Newbie Nneka Ihim ruffled a few feathers this season (primarily Wendy’s) and couldn’t seem to make an amends despite several efforts. The gorgeous Nigerian-American Lawyer stayed true to her roots and rocked a Nigerian clothing brand called ‘XBL The Prestigious’ at the reunion. Nneka slayed this look but we would have loved to see her accessorize more.
Robyn Dixon in Custom DifferentRegard
Despite Juan’s alleged infidelity, Robyn Dixon chose to remain by her man’s side through thick and thin this season. For her reunion look, the hazel-eyed beauty opted for a designer called ‘DifferentRegard.’ Her asymmetrical dress felt avant-garde with her black stiletto high-heel leggings, and although she accessorized, some of her accessories looked a bit cheap.
Who do you think was the best dressed Housewife at the season 8 reunion?
