The Real Housewives of Orange County cast brought major glamour to the Season 19 reunion, serving up high style while settling unfinished business in true OC fashion.
In honor of the big night, Shannon Storms Beador, Heather Dubrow, Katie Ginella, Tamra Judge, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jennifer Pedranti, and Emily Simpson stunned as they joined host Andy Cohen on October 9. Friend of the Housewives Gretchen Rossi also joined the group to share her perspective and, of course, her signature sparkle.
The ladies turned up the heat in shades of red and pink, channeling old Hollywood glamour with curve-hugging gowns, shimmering jewels, and sky-high heels. While Shannon opted for a chic shorter look, the rest of the Housewives dazzled in elegant, floor-length silhouettes each one showcasing her own OC flair.
Their hair and makeup were equally flawless: Gretchen wowed with a glamorous updo, Shannon went for a soft half-up style, and the rest of the cast embraced relaxed, beachy waves paired with sultry smoky eyes the perfect mix of Orange County sunshine and Hollywood sophistication.

“I think the vision behind it was just to be authentically myself, which is very much a glam goddess,” she explained to the outlet backstage. “I love the glam, I love the over-the-top. We have some bling on the dress, bustier, we have some mesh design that makes it feel very goddess-like.”
