Reality TV fashion girlies, rejoice! The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 9 reunion looks have officially dropped, and the DMV divas did not come to play.
From snatched silhouettes to icy embellishments, the DMV queens came through in winter white realness, and it’s safe to say they all ate. The ladies understood the assignment: glam, drama, and a whole lot of fabulousness.
Stylist Shenell Welch was the genius behind the Wives’ dazzling ensembles. And let’s be clear—Shenell DID THAT!
Each cast member delivered a unique take on luxurious winter white, blending old Hollywood elegance with new-school baddie glam. So let’s get into the looks from main castmembers Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, Dr. Wendy Osefo, Mia Thornton, newcomers Stacey Rusch and Keiarna Stewart, and show friends Jacqueline Blake and Jassi Rideaux.
Giselle Bryant walked in like the bell of the ball in sexy sophistication. She wore a body-hugging sleeveless gown with sleek cut-outs. The star was giving reality show veteran vixen vibes.
Other RHOP vets, Ashley Darby and Wendy Osefo also owned the stage. Ashley turned heads in a custom off-white sequin and diamond Moor Clothing, while Wendy was best dressed in a custom dress from Black designer Ese Asenabor.
Newcomers Keiarna Stewart and Stacy Rusch came through to the reunion stage like pros. Keiarna sparkled in a white diamond-encrusted masterpiece by Dodonë Avdiu. Stacey also tapped Ese Azenabor for her debut. Her gown, an explosion of intricate floral appliqués, gave couture garden goddess.
Mia Thornton embraced classic glam in a bright white gown by Nneka C. Alexander. The starlet paired her gown with vintage-style finger waves that screamed Hollywood icon. We are gagging.
Friends of the show’s castmates Jacqueline Blake and Jassi Rideaux were not about to miss their fashion moments. Jacqueline glowed in an off-the-shoulder satin maxi by Ramona Designs, proudly debuting her growing baby bump. Jassi closed out her first season in style, rocking an ornate sculpted, off-the-shoulder sequined gown.
Each look was a moment, dripping in opulence, drama, and the signature Potomac flair we love.
As much as the ladies brought the fashion heat, there was one major void—Karen “The Grand Dame” Huger. Earlier this month, Karen announced she would be sitting this one out to enter rehab following her DUI and DWI conviction from a March 2024 arrest.
Fans noticed her missing from the official seating chart dropped earlier this month, causing a stir. And today’s showcase of looks confirms for social media watchers that she did not attend.
Whether you love her or love to hate her, Karen’s presence was missed. But one thing’s for sure—when she pops back out, she’s gonna come correct.
Now, let’s get into these flawless fashion moments. Which cast member had the best reunion lewk?
The Real Housewives of Potomac White-Hot Season 9 Reunion Looks: See Ashley Darby, Gizelle Bryant, Wendy Osefo, & More  was originally published on hellobeautiful.com
Ashley Darby is a multifaceted baddie. We’re talking entrepreneur, pageant winner, health and wellness coach, and more.  Ashley’s journey has taken her from bartending and winning the Miss District of Columbia crown to navigating motherhood and business ownership. Dealing with a messy public divorce while on RHOP, Ashley is considered a ahow OG. She is about her girls, her life, and her goals!  
Stacey Rusch is bringing fresh energy to RHOP Season 9! The former QVC host and newly single mom is adjusting to life post-divorce while navigating a complicated relationship with her best friend—who’s choosing celibacy over intimacy. Beyond the drama, Stacey exudes positivity. She is as a hands-on mom who loves fun outings and self-love mantras like, “Being yourself is the most beautiful thing you can be!” 
Dr. Wendy Osefo says she’s -the [ultimate] “Godiva Goddess.” And we agree. The Nigerian-born, Maryland-raised professor, political analyst, and entrepreneur is a force to be reckoned with who will always slay. She’s been on RHOP since 2020, and has been bringing her brilliance ever since. From a single-parent upbringing to becoming the first Black woman to earn a PhD in Public Affairs/Community Development from Rutgers University – not to mention her essentials line, role as a wife and mother, and Bravo favorite – Wendy is that girl.
Keiarna Stewart is stepping up as a full-time ‘Wife in RHOP Season 9, bringing her beauty boss energy to the mix. The Baltimore native built her empire early, launching a full-service salon at 23 before expanding into medical aesthetics with K. Stewart Beauty and Wellness, a thriving MedSpa specializing in laser treatments, injectables, and skincare. When she’s not running her business, Keiarna is jet-setting, shopping, and fine dining, all while navigating a relationship with her boyfriend, Gregory.
Jassi Rideaux may be new to RHOP but not to bringing her A game. She’s a bossed-up CEO and beauty mogul running multiple ventures, including Rideaux Hair, Rideaux Properties, and Chateau Rideaux Network. Her love for hair started back in her pageant queen days, but it was her grandmother, Toni—who ran a salon in the ‘50s—that truly inspired her hustle. Jassi wasted no time, becoming a licensed cosmetologist at just 17 before heading to Langston University. While she’s been securing bags, she’s also securing love—she got engaged to Dallas Cowboys linebacker Darius Harris in August 2024.
Mia Thornton joined the RHOP cast in Season 6. Since then, the bombshell has been causing conversation with her flawless looks, sassy attitude, and up-and-down love story. She even dealt with a possible cancer diagnosis on the show. Mia is a boss in every sense, juggling life as an entrepreneur, investor, and franchise owner in D.C. A Southeastern Institute grad, she built her empire with Massage Envy and The Joint Chiropractic across the East Coast. Now stepping into single life after splitting from her husband of 11 years, Mia is focused on co-parenting her three kids and staying active in philanthropy.
Gizelle Bryant is the ultimate Potomac powerhouse—a socialite, entrepreneur, author, and fierce single mom to her three daughters, Grace, Angel, and Adore. Raised by prominent parents in government and philanthropy, she graduated from Hampton University and later married megachurch pastor Jamal Bryant. But, their marriage ended after seven years. Returning to Potomac for a fresh start, Gizelle has built a thriving career, juggling philanthropy, business, and entertainment. 
Jacqueline Blake is back in the RHOP mix, and this time, she’s here to stay. Introduced in Season 7 as Mia Thornton’s childhood bestie, their friendship hit the skids before the reunion even aired. But by Season 8, the two had reconciled—just in time for Jacqueline to make her official return in Season 9. Outside of reality TV, the HBCU grad is a powerhouse entrepreneur, running Ava & Blakely HR Consulting, where she helps Black and minority-owned businesses build solid HR foundations. Jacqueline also balances her Bravo drama with her own at-home drama as a mother of two children.
