The three-part Vanderpump Rules reunion kicked off on Tuesday, May 14 on Bravo. The reunion glam was off-the-charts this year. Each member of the cast showed up dressed to impress. This year’s reunion fashion had me reminiscing about past reunion looks. Let’s take a trip down memory lane together.

Here are the best VPR reunion looks of all time: 

Lala Kent (Season 11)

Lala Kent looked stunning at the Season 11 reunion. The expecting mother wore a floor-length lilac gown by the acclaimed designer Oscar de la Renta. She paired the dress with Amina Muaddi high heels. Her accessories for the event were from the Brooklyn-based jewelry and handbag company Alexis Bittar. She wore her hair down, styled by LA hairstylist Bradley Leake. Perhaps the most stunning part of her look was the makeup, which she did herself.  The VPR star rocked a soft purple eyeshadow that perfectly matched her dress and nails. 

She spoke about the inspiration behind the look in a May Instagram Story, telling fans she was channeling “mama” vibes. 

“I wanted whimsical, flowy, feminine, and delicate,” she said.

I think she nailed the look. The softness of the makeup paired perfectly with the dress. Overall, this look was a 10/10 for me.

James Kennedy looked dapper at this year’s reunion. Dare I say he looked the best of all the gentlemen onstage. The 32-year-old wore a light pink suit by Twisted Tailor paired with white sneakers. He explained his look in an interview with BravoTV.com ahead of the reunion, stating, “I always wanna throw in a little James Bond vibe — fitted suits and unique colors.” Love that. I think he looked great. 9/10. 

Ariana Madix (Season 11)

Ariana Madix was another VPR star who killed it at the Season 11 reunion. The fan favorite went with a full sheer look, which included a sexy sheer bodysuit and sheer skirt. She described the look to BravoTV.com as “futuristic” and “naked.” Obsessed. 8/10.

I bet you expected to see Ariana’s iconic revenge dress on this list. The 38-year-old looked hot as h*ll at the Season 10 reunion in an all-red ensemble that showed off her abs. 

She spoke about how the look came together during an interview on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna. She revealed she scrapped her original reunion ensemble after her longtime boyfriend’s affair came to light. 

“My revenge dress that I wore on the reunion … I had options that I was working with my friend Emily Men, who is an incredible stylist, and then when all of this happened, it was like, ‘Nope, scrap all of those. We’re going back to the drawing board. We need something absolutely incredible,’” she said. “And she found that dress and she’s great at what she does.” 

10/10 duh!

Scheana Shay’s Season 10 look is my favorite of all her reunion looks. The Bravo star wore a shimmering gold dress from the New York brand Miss Circle. She paired the floor-length gown with a pair of shiny gold heels. She wore her hair down and wavy, which added to the sultry vibe of the look. Also, we have to give props to her Part III look, where she sat backstage in an “Everynite Is VPR Nite” hoodie and sipped on a white claw while her castmates eviscerated Rachel Leviss and Tom Sandoval. Iconic. 7/10.

Rachel Leviss (Season 9)

Rachel’s Season 9 look fit her perfectly. The former beauty queen wore a mint green mini-dress and nude heels. Her makeup was soft and feminine. 9/10.

James served a look at the Season 9 reunion. The DJ sported a lilac suit layered over a black button-down shirt. He finished off the look with a pair of black boots. I love how James is not afraid of a little color. 8/10.

Tom Sandoval (Season 7)

Sandoval looked preppy and chic at the Season 7 reunion and I have to admit, it worked for me. I loved the shoes and the layering of the sweater over the button-down shirt. Chef’s kiss! 9/10.

Lala Kent (Season 5)

Lala looked incredible at the Season 5 reunion. The Utah native wore a white off-the-shoulder top paired with white wide-leg slacks. She completed the look with a pearl choker. She absolutely killed it. 10/10.

The final week of OMG Fashun just aired on E!, bringing us one of our last winners in Carlos Reyes. Carlos appeared in Episode 107, called “Saints & Sinners”, where their whimsical designs wowed Julia Fox, Law Roach, and Richie Shazam. This tracks, as Carlos’ designs are everywhere, including the catwalks of New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week.

Carlos’ website states that their brand Renacio seeks to “Embrace childlike wonder while exploring dark and whimsical themes.” Wearing Renacio is akin to wearing “subtle poetry,” due to the intricate details found within each piece. This level of attention just saw Carlos edging out their fellow Disruptors, earning themselves a spot as the seventh winner on E!. Following this, Carlos met up with Reality Tea’s writer Amy DeVore, where the two shared one final interview for this inaugural season of OMG Fashun.

Carlos’ first impressions

Amy DeVore: Your presence gives off such main character energy. Let’s talk about your own first impressions. Starting with Julia.

Carlos Reyes: First impression clearly, she’s just so, so, so stunning. Each look of hers is so beautifully curated and thoughtful, down to the hair and the makeup, and I know these are very superficial things, but working in fashion, it’s really beautiful to see a head-to-toe, fully realized concept delivered so beautifully. So. incredible first impression with Julia.

Amy: Love it. Now, Law.

Carlos: Instantly intimidating, because Law has a history of having no filter. But I’m also in awe, because Law is one of the top stylists in the world. Knowing that I’m going to receive a critique is very exciting. And I know it will be helpful, regardless of whether it’s good or bad.

Amy: And finally, Richie. Spill it.

Carlos: So Richie, socialite from New York, runs within this socialites sphere, which is an important aspect in the fashion world, because the socialites invent the trends. So seeing that one of the guest judges is Richie, it’s exciting in the sense that we’re going to get one of the forefront avant-garde thinkers of fashion here.

Ugh. Not denim.

Amy: In your style challenge, you said that you “never work with denim,” and that this was the worst item. Even still, you won. But I have to ask. Why is denim not your bestie?

Carlos: Ever since I started fashion school in Texas, and then in Paris, and then continuing all of my studies, they have all been focused on evening wear and evening wear fabrics. Denim is so far away from what I do, because it’s hard and durable, and the kind of stitching techniques that you have to do are completely different. It’s just not a world I’m familiar with.

“Heavenly designs”

Amy: Once Julia announced that you had to upcycle your materials into a “heavenly design,” you and your costar Deborah had similar ideas on using the same Saint as your guide. She felt the pressure, but you came off as being unbothered. But, were you?

Carlos: No. I’m very confident with my Catholic knowledge and my ability to turn out a concept from sketch to the final look. So yeah, I couldn’t be bothered.

Confessing and winning

Amy: Each episode has a plot twist. For yours, you had to incorporate a sin into your design. You chose lust. How did this plot twist reshape your design?

Carlos: It threw a massive wrench in my plans, but at the same time, I love a wrench. Once that was announced, it’s like, okay, I have to pivot, and I have to do something that really heightens the sex factor of this. When I was making it, I thought, we have these black laces, I’ll do the cross in the back, and I’ll try to make this lustful in the back. Religious in the front, party in the back.

Amy: Same. As for the result, Julia didn’t hate it, while Law said that “it’s just not enough.” Then, Julia admitted that she could see herself wearing it, but first, she’d need to style the “hell out of it.” You laughed, but also, this was a lot. So what was going through your mind here?

Carlos: To be honest, I blacked out. But from what I can remember, it was shocking, because I am a very competitive person. I love to be put in these situations where I’m praised, usually, and so to not have that confident ‘Yes, this is the best thing we’ve ever seen,’ it was jarring.

Carlos’ final crowned words of wisdom

Amy: You won! What are your next steps?

Carlos: I now have a full, brand new studio that is not in my living room. It is a studio that I share with Lucas Oakley in Bushwick. Next, I’m just now starting to get the ball rolling for my New York Fashion Week show in September. It’ll be September 10, at a cathedral, so I’m very excited for that.

Amy: That’s exciting. As far as upcyling goes, do you think that we’ll be seeing more of this fashion trend moving forward?

Carlos: Oh yeah, especially with shows like OMG fashion, with Fox being so unapologetic about upcycling, and finding different ways to make a greener fashion industry. It’s a trend that I’m definitely going to be hopping on a lot more as well.

Amy: For those just starting out, do you have any words of wisdom to share?

Carlos: Networking is really important. It can make or break you. However, none of that matters if you don’t have a really strong body of work. So I would recommend just keep working and creating, and then don’t think about it. Just learn and keep working.

This interview was edited for conciseness and clarity.

All episodes of OMG Fashun will be available to stream on Peacock after 06/03/2024.
