After an all-time great season of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, we’re very much looking forward to the Season 5 reunion! We’ll have to wait a few more weeks for it to air. Luckily, Bravo gave us a sneak peek at the RHOSLC ladies’ reunion looks. For this year’s theme, the ladies brought it back to the season premiere’s Besos party. That meant romantic shades of red, pink, and merlot. We’re definitely in love with some of these looks, but others? We’ll save our kisses. Here’s our ranking, from best to worst dressed.
Bronwyn Newport
Bronwyn Newport continues to raise the bar when it comes to RHOSLC fashion! Considering her looks all season long, our expectations were high, and she exceeded them. This Carolina Herrera gown was originally made for Karlie Kloss at the 2021 Met Gala. Bronwyn loved the look so much, she bought it from designer Wes Gordon’s archives, and had it tailored specially for her. Don’t forget, Bronwyn pays designers!
As always, Bronwyn put a lot of thought into her ensemble. She wrote on Instagram, “The dress on the Met Gala carpet was meant to symbolize America’s flower, the rose at the In America: A Lexicon of Fashion event.” For the reunion, “it was a symbol of my hope for blossoming friendships in future after watching myself throughout the season, as long as we can all get past each other’s thorns!” She also referenced that heart coat, adding, “I also wanted to bookend my first season the way I started it… in big red shoulders!”
For fashion fans who love the Met Gala, wearing and owning the couture is a dream. The fact that Bronwyn actually did so is a major power move. There’s a reason the popular newbie instantly joined the ranks of Bravo-style icons!
Angie Katsanevas
Coming in at a close second is Angie Katsanevas! She’s finishing off an amazing season with a stellar reunion look. And this year is extra special because she got first chair!
Angie K is RHOSLC’s Greek Goddess who will boast, “I think I look like a mother.” For the Season 5 reunion, she looks as pretty as a princess. In fact, she told Bravo she was going for a “splash of princess, and maybe a little queen.” As well as a “feminine, soft, doll-like vibe.”
Another goal with her Season 5 reunion look was to show off her “versatility.” Angie’s been killing the fashion game all season long. From her confessional looks to her vacay ensembles to her signature giant sunglasses. Even when she’s dressed over-the-top in Greek flags at a Milwaukee basketball game, her outfits bring us joy.
Her (low-body count) hair is amazing, as always. As she told Bravo, “I wanted the dress and hair to be timeless and elegant.” She nailed it on all counts. This Oscar de la Renta dress really is classically elegant. I’m sure we’ll love it even more as time passes.
Mary Cosby
Mary Cosby has a very strong sense of personal style. It’s what she bonded with Bronwyn over when they first met. However, Bronwyn’s hot dog outfit was even a little too much for her. As for Mary’s reunion dress, this is couture, not a costume.
Much like her bestie Angie, Mary looks very regal, in a gown fit for a queen. Not everyone is able to pull off a dress with gold feather details. But it’s the type of unexpected, slightly eclectic detail that is so perfectly Mary. She also loves a statement necklace, and the big, bold, gold collar works great here. I would say this is one of her best outfits on the show, a perfect way to cap off her best season yet.
Whitney Rose
Last year, Whitney Rose was definitely worst dressed at the reunion. So this year, she gets extra points for the most improved. I’d go so far as to call this her best reunion look yet. It’s not reinventing the wheel, but the strapless number is perfectly sexy and sleek. She accessorized with her controversial jewelry line PRISM but kept those pieces simple. That was the right move. as it lets the dress take center stage.
You can tell how confident she feels in this dress as well. Describing what she was going for, Salt Lake’s wild rose said, “Looks don’t lie.” In this photo, it looks more like she’s thinking, “if looks could kill.”
Heather Gay
I can see others ranking this Heather Gay reunion look, which she called “Good Time Girl goes Glam,” higher on the list. It’s simple and elegant and fits like a glove. But when I first saw this, my initial reaction was deja vu. As in, I literally went back to make sure it was not the same dress she wore to last year’s reunion. It’s not, but it’s a little too similar for my taste. It’s also giving bridesmaid more than Real Housewives. She still looks great, but she can do better considering her RHOSLC fashion. I’m personally hoping she takes a bit of a risk for the Season 6 reunion!
Britani Bateman
Before her first reunion, Britani Bateman got a hair makeover. RHOSLC’s polarizing “friend of” left the salon with a brighter blonde hue. This blingy, bold dress certainly matches that! As a friend of, she won’t be on stage for the whole reunion. But with this dress, she’s ensured that, when she does appear, all eyes will be on her!
Forever a theater kid, Britani named Glinda from Wicked as her inspiration for this look. Personally, I see that more with Angie K’s look than I do with this glitzy dress. But Britani looks happy with her choice. It’s not my favorite dress of the bunch, but it’s memorable and fun. Honestly, she did better on her first reunion than most of the OGs did back in Season 1…
Meredith Marks
Meredith Marks wore an ensemble designed by her son Brooks. She accessorized with her own “Stardust jewelry collection which was modeled after the stars and the sky at night in Park City.” The shoes and dress were inspired by that collection. No one can accuse Meredith of failing to self-promote!
In theory, Park City’s night sky sounds like a great inspiration for a RHOSLC reunion look. But the actual ensemble isn’t wowing me. It looks both mother-of-the-bride and like a sexy Mrs. Claus costume. Neither vibe really goes for a Real Housewives reunion that was essentially Valentine’s themed. The dress does look better without the bolero. And her face card never declines. But unfortunately, Meredith’s streak of subpar reunion looks continues for the fifth season in a row.
Lisa Barlow
On the other hand, Lisa Barlow usually wins best dressed at the RHOSLC reunions. Alas, this is a bit of a fashion fall from grace for our Baby Gorgeous. Lisa threw the Besos party that started off the season, but this number feels all wrong for the theme! The dark purple shade is, dare I say it, a little drab. The fringe should be a fun detail. She tried to play it up on TikTok. But instead, it just looks heavy.
Reunion looks should be fun, but when I see this dress I wonder, why so serious? I know sleek, straight hair with a center part is Lisa’s signature, but maybe a different style could’ve added some oomph? Overall, I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is available to stream on Peacock.
