Celebrity Style: ‘The Real Housewives Of Rhode Island’ Reunion

Cast members Alicia Carmody, Rosie DiMare, Ashley Iaconetti, Liz McGraw, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, Kelsey Swanson, and Jo-Ellen Tiberi embraced the spirit of the Ocean State in breathtaking gowns awash in shades of sapphire, aqua, cobalt, and seafoam blue. For their first-ever reunion with Andy Cohen, each Housewife showcased her own unique interpretation of coastal chic, proving that blue was anything but basic.

The fashion was nothing short of spectacular. Alicia and Kelsey dazzled in sparkling sequined designs that shimmered like sunlight dancing across the water, while Ashley, Jo-Ellen, and Rulla opted for intricately beaded creations that added texture and elegance to their looks. Rosie and Liz stood out with fashion-forward fabrics and unexpected details that brought a modern edge to the reunion palette.

The oceanic inspiration extended beyond the gowns. Most of the women styled their hair in soft, effortless beach waves that perfectly complemented the nautical theme, while Ashley offered a sleek and sophisticated contrast with a polished ponytail.

From dazzling embellishments to coastal-inspired glamour, the Real Housewives of Rhode Island cast made a stylish splash at their inaugural reunion. See all their looks inside any favorites?

Liz explained that had two looks to choose from for the reunion, one that brought “fire” and one that brought “ethereal” vibes. “I went with the angelic one because we don’t need any more anger from Elizabeth,” she quipped of her long-sleeved light blue gown with a pleated texture.

Ashley Iaconetti

Ashley said that she felt like a Disney princess in her bright blue beaded gown with off-the-shoulder beaded sleeves and silver heels. “My look, my outfit is so mermaid. It’s a very heavily bejeweled blue dress. I feel like Ariel in her wedding scene with Prince Eric,” she explained.

She complemented this dress with a more toned-down makeup look. “For makeup, I’m doing this look I did a couple of weeks ago for press. And it was so nice and relatively natural looking so love that,” she added backstage.

Rosie DiMare

Dress: Albina Dyla; Shoes: Arnoconti; Jewelry: Baxter’s Jewelry; Makeup Artist: Cara Valente; Hairstylist: Steph Demato

Rosie explained that her first ever reunion look, comprised of a light blue off-the-shoulder gown covered in 3D floral embellishments was very true to herself. “My reunion look is very princess-y. Very floral. Very Rosie,” she stated.

Kelsey Swanson

Dress: J’amemme; Shoes: Schultz; Makeup: Erika Wright; Hair: Erickson Arrunategui

Kelsey admitted that she went for a more simple look with her bright blue, halter-neck, sequin gown. “The dress kind of has a wet look to it. It’s sequins, it’s simple,” she explained backstage. “But the fact that it’s wet is why we’re doing the wet look for the hair.”

Alicia Carmody

Dress: Rat & Boa; Shoes: Jimmy Choo; Jewelry: Hannoush Jewelers; Makeup Artist: Cara Valente; Hairstylist: StephDstyle

Alicia explained that she wanted to go full mermaid with her light blue, cowl-neck dress, covered in paillette sequins. “I love a mermaid,” she said backstage. “And so my look today is inspired by a mermaid. A Rhode Island mermaid.”
