The Real Housewives of Potomac is closing out its dramatic season 8 this Sunday, and you just know the reunion is going to be intense.
This season was packed with excitement, including trips to Austin and the Dominican Republic, while Mia Thornton and Ashley Darby shared their marital struggles. Newcomer Nneka Ihim caused quite a stir in Wendy Osefo’s life, keeping the drama levels high.
Here’s a sneak peek at the fabulous outfits the Potomac ladies wore to the reunion, which was filmed in New York last month. The theme was “Art Gallery,” and everyone showcased glamorous black gowns, giving off an air of sophisticated elegance. Let’s see how the cast members, who made Potomac famous, made their entrances at the reunion.
Gizelle Bryant thought Nneka Ihim could take on the ‘Grand Dame’ title this season, but let’s face it, no one does it like Karen Huger. Celebrating her milestone birthday this season, Karen arrived at the reunion in a stunning ‘Maticevski’ gown featuring a high slit.
Gizelle Bryant, who has faced criticism for her fashion sense in the past, showed incredible progress. She looked absolutely stunning in a black Versace dress that fit her like a glove.
Dr. Wendy Osefo was as striking as ever in a black Ann Usman dress paired with a cream Jonathan Kayne cape. Her ornate Ela Rose necklace added a touch of royalty to her look.
Mia Thornton’s gown, designed by Atlanta-based Nneka Alexander (Brides by Nona), had everyone thinking it was from Indian designer Gaurav Gupta due to its sculptural details. The fit, construction, and detailing of Mia’s gown were simply phenomenal.
Candace Dillard Bassett stayed true to her musical roots, donning a black lace gown by Miami designer Katya Suzdaleva. She looked flawless and managed the lengthy dress beautifully despite her petite frame.
Ashley Darby, not letting her split from Michael Darby stress her out, looked radiant in a custom strapless Riley Knoxx Couture gown with a plunging neckline. The intricate beading on her dress made her stand out.
Newcomer Nneka Ihim remained true to her Nigerian heritage by wearing a design from Xtra Brides Lagos. Despite causing some drama this season, Nneka looked confident and stunning in her outfit.
Robyn Dixon, standing by her man Juan amidst rumors of his infidelity, opted for a look by DifferentRegard. Her asymmetrical dress, paired with black stiletto high-heel leggings and a chic platinum blonde bob, was very avant-garde.
So, who do you think was the best-dressed Housewife at the season 8 reunion?
