Celebrity Style: The Real Housewives of New York City Promo Shoot

Grab your stilettos and get ready to strut all over the city that never sleeps when Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New York City” season 15 premieres on Tuesday, Oct. 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.

Back for another bite out of the Big Apple, this flourishing group of friends – Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank and Brynn Whitfield – are joined by elite new faces Racquel Chevremont and Rebecca Minkoff. But things can change in a New York minute when rumors start spreading among the ladies and only time will tell if longstanding loyalties are strong enough to weather the storm as secrets shake things up. I really liked how the ladies were styled for their promo shoot and Brynn Whitfield’s sparkly ball gown was amazing! See what the ladies wore inside and the designers of their frocks!

Brynn Whitfield in Jessica Rich

Brynn Whitfield is a marketing & communications consultant, with experience on award-winning, globally recognized campaigns spanning CPG brands and tech companies. Brynn’s curated homes have been featured in Architectural Digest and Domino, and her collaborations with brands like CB2 and Minted showcase her love for interior design. In the beauty and fashion space, she has partnered with brands like L’oreal, Fenty, and Nordstrom. In her free time, Brynn is a young patron of the New York Metropolitan Opera and a member of the Marshall Chess Club, and volunteers her time with NYC nonprofits, including Covenant House and Citymeals on Wheels. Most recently, Brynn hosted the Glamour Women of the Year Awards red carpet, Covenant House Gala and was a co-chair of the Frick Collection’s 2024 Young Fellows Ball.

Ubah Hassan

Ubah Hassan is a Somalian model, philanthropist and entrepreneur whose outgoing personality enters a room before she does. Channeling her zest for life, she’s the creator of her personal hot sauce company, UBAHHOT, which she hopes is her ticket to making it big in New York. After an initial boost from landing a spot on “Oprah’s Favorite Things,” she’s looking to take her business to the next level, and due to her trying upbringing and desire for total control, she feels the pressure to do it all on her own without the help of investors.

Jessel Taank is a dynamic fashion publicist, devoted wife and energetic mother of twin boys. Born and raised in London, Taank had her sights set on the American dream from a young age and her relentless drive and determination eventually brought her to the bustling streets of New York City. Growing up in a close-knit yet strict Indian household, Taank faces the ongoing challenge of sharing the intimate aspects of her life with her parents back in the UK. In addition to her work in fashion, Taank is a successful entrepreneur who launched Oushq, a cutting-edge fashion platform that curates exclusive and innovative designs from emerging designers around the world. Oushq aims to bring fresh, avant-garde fashion to a global audience, and Jessel’s vision and leadership have been instrumental in its rapid growth and success.

Erin Lichy in Christopher Esber Cristalla Crystal-embellished Maxi Dress

Born and raised in Manhattan, Erin Lichy is a social butterfly who tends to find herself floating amid the drama as she isn’t afraid to speak her mind. Her naturally keen eye for spotting the next trend and die-hard work ethic has led to a prominent reputation in the New York real estate and interior design scene. Additionally, Lichy’s new venture includes an all-natural Mezcal brand called Mezcalum, trailblazing as one of the few women in the spirits industry. With the only things more important than her career being her three children and husband Abe, this cosmopolitan is the definition of an overachiever who loves nothing more than to prove she can do it all.

Rebecca Minkoff

Known for her global accessible luxury fashion brand that was created in 2005, Rebecca Minkoff is a best-selling author and powerhouse entrepreneur who has paved the way for many and is co-founder of the Female Founder Collective. Minkoff is dedicated to creating the modern cultural and business narrative of togetherness and a shared success. She continues to push boundaries, lead the fashion industry, and galvanize communities of women by promoting confidence, fearlessness and authenticity. She is a loving wife and devoted mother of four.

She’s a busy mom of two, loyal friend and wife to husband David, who cheers her on so that De Silva can run the digital empire she built from the ground up. A Brooklyn native who’s honest and straightforward, her friends would say she’s “as New York as it gets.”
