Ranking The ‘RHOP’ Season 9 Reunion Drip
Gizelle Bryant delivering like a driver at Pizza Hut, IKTR!!
The fact that season 9 of The Real Housewives of Potomac was the perfect balance of love, light, and shade truly feels like a gift from above. Maybe that’s why my favorite DC ladies dressed up in all white like angels for the ninth annual reunion. (No, Karen Huger, wasn’t there IRL to properly give her friends or the fans the explanation we’ve all been waiting for in light of criminal charges stemming from her DUI but at least we got somewhat of a sufficient update from the Grande Dame from afar.) As a group, Potomac always brings the fire, but it feels like this season the ladies burning white hot with their individual ensemble and the overall group vibe. It’s hard to do in a room full of 10s, but I’m ranking the RHOP season 9 white hot reunion looks as a salute to my favorite White House correspondents.
The Real Housewives Of Potomac Season 9 Reunion: Best And Worst Dressed
8. Jassi Rideaux
I totally get the vision, but the execution here is lacking just enough tailoring to make the shoulder adornments look like a Marvel character’s wings or something. Big pony slay, though.
7. Jacqueline Blake
So the theme was “dripping in crystals” and it doesn’t seem like Jacqueline 100% got the memo. That being said, even though she’s not mother, renewed motherhood looks heavenly on Jacqueline with the way this draping is falling around her baby bump. This is probs the best we’ve seen from her, like, ever.
6. Mia Thornton
There were a lot of ideas fighting for attention with Mia’s appearance for the big night from the feathery shawl to finger wave wig. So many, that the finished product is far more costumey than the rest of the casts’. On the positive side, her face glam is actually very polished.
5. Wendy Osefo
Wendy’s pearled choice is borderline bridal, and oddly similar to Ashley’s look, but it’s not a miss in the slightest. From the neck up, Wendy is winning. From the neck down, the dangerous level of cleavage is making me want to give a Nobel prize to the inventor of boob tape.
4. Stacey Rusch
I’m here for single Stacey and her floral moment!! Now, If I were her QVC stylist for the day I would’ve ditched the stop sign red lip for a black cherry with a pinky center but let’s not split hairs.
3. Ashley Darby
Everyone wants to talk about a certain pastor’s wife’s fashions, but let’s be honest, Ashey’s pretty privilege allows her to get away with some mess here and there too. This beaded gown has a silhouette we’ve seen a lot in Housewives world (and low-key on Ashley herself) but this level of bling is hard not to applaud, wig styling and all.
2. Kiearna Stewart
Kay told the Bravo cams she wanted to serve “glamor,” “class,” and “high fashion” and she thoroughly delivered with this glitzy Gatsby (though again her bustier is somewhat defying the laws of gravity). Ima just finish with this simple q… does Greg deserve all that??
1. Gizelle Bryant
One thing about them tables??? They always turn! The real Gizelle Bryant stans know Gizelle’s Blue Eyed Bandit beauty has more than excused some of the more, erm, questionable looks Gizzy has brought to the main stage in the past. However, this right here, this blingy cutout sculpted masterpiece, is an absolute DREAM. Gizelle Bryant, best dressed?!? Robin would be so proud.
