On Sunday, May 24th, the Real Housewives of Potomac season 8 will be wrapped up. The reunion is sure to ignite the Bravo stage and bring out the heat.
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.
The Potomac ladies’ stunning ensembles from the New York reunion last month are now available to view. 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.
See the Bravolebrities that put Potomac in the spotlight and who made a grand entrance at this 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. Karen Huger, who turned triple digits this season, wore a Maticevski dress that was meticulously crafted and characterized by a high slit.
Gizelle Bryant in Versace
Gizelle has improved her game. She has evolved since she was criticized in the past for her fashion sense. We loved her Versace dress, which draped beautifully around her like a sleeve.
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. Ela Rose’s embellished necklace exuded royalty, and Wendy Osefo took a big risk with her outfit this season.
Mia Thornton as Custom Brides By Nona
The sculptural details would have led one to believe that Mia Thornton was wearing an Indian designer, Gaurav Gupta. However, she was actually wearing a designer from Atlanta 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 singer-turned actress chose a black lace dress by Miami 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 wears Custom Riley Knoxx Couture
Can anyone else tell that Ashley Boalch Darby isn’t letting any stress get to her? She looks much better since she divorced her husband Michael Darby. The former Miss District of Columbia was dressed in a custom Riley Knoxx gown, which featured a plunge neckline with a v. Ashley was made to stand out by the beading on her dress.
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 rocked this look, but she could have accessorized more.
Robyn Dion 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.
