7 Times Women On Bravo Dressed For Revenge After Betrayal

Getting betrayed by a loved one has to be one of the most devastating feelings of all, but the best payback is wearing something so fierce, that everyone's jaw drops. Dressing to kill has always been a lady's MO, but in 1994, Princess Diana's revenge dress became one of the most iconic looks in fashion history. After the now-King Charles III fessed up to cheating, the late royal stepped out in a stunning LBD that inspired the term "revenge dress." Now, decades later, everyone from movie stars and Bravolebrities have taken notes from Princess Diana, and have shown just what their exes (and enemies) are missing.

Usually, reunions are the time to show up looking hot and unbothered, which many Bravo stars have perfectly executed with their 'fits. However, there have been other moments reality stars chose the perfect opportunity to flaunt their fabulous selves for all the world to see. We have to appreciate these perfectly curated ensembles, as they're more than just a mere OOTD, and as they say, dressing well is the best revenge.

When Ariana Madix found out that her then-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, was having an affair with fellow "Vanderpump Rules" star Rachel Leviss, "Scandoval" became one of 2023's biggest headlines. Following the devastating news, Madix showed that she was not here to play when she arrived at the Season 10 reunion wearing the most cutthroat outfit. Baring toned abs that could cut the tension in the room, she donned a red cropped jacket and a matching long slim skirt. Madix may have been heartbroken at the time, but she made sure to shatter her ex's as well with this look.

Lexi Wood may have been a "Summer House" one-and-done, but she sure made a splash right before her Season 9 exit. After getting love bombed by Jesse Solomon all summer, she learned that he flirted with Ciara Miller and allegedly got his toes sucked by another woman. Suffice it to say, the model was so done with him, which she showed by wearing a cowl-neck baby blue gown that left little to the imagination for the reunion. Solomon had one chance to snag a real-life mermaid, but he unfortunately dropped the ball.

Kristen Doute and Tom Sandoval's six-year relationship was super toxic, and that's saying a lot for the cast of "Vanderpump Rules." After multiple cheating allegations by both parties, the two split at the end of Season 2, but it's clear Doute wasn't over her ex. During the following season, even though she and Sandoval had moved on with other partners, "The Valley" star went to retrieve her mail from him all dolled up in a skin-baring green dress. It's clear she wanted his attention, but all Doute got was an eye-roll from the singer.

What do you do when you have a destination bachelorette party booked but your fiancé breaks up with you the month before? Well, go anyway, and look amazing while doing so. That's exactly what Lindsay Hubbard of "Summer House" did after Carl Radke ended their engagement during Season 8. The best revenge Hubbard had was jetting off to the Bahamas with all her girlies and wearing the most gorgeous 'fits, one being a sheer gold number that had her looking like a goddess. This was one way to let go and start focusing on herself again after a breakup.

Red seems to be the go-to color for revenge dresses when it comes to Bravo stars, and we don't blame them. During the "Southern Charm" Season 9 reunion, Olivia Flowers looked like a woman not to be trifled with in a scarlet dress with cut-outs and a thigh-high slit. This came after she heard rumors that her best friend, Taylor Ann Green, had hooked up with her ex, Austen Kroll, which both denied. Green later copped to a kiss and was even considering a relationship with him. Sadly, it seemed Flowers was more hurt by her ex-BFF's betrayal than anything.

Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice have a long history of feuding, with Season 13 of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" showing their most intense falling-out. With their respective partners, Joe Gorga and Luis Ruelas fighting over a failed pizza oven collab, and Giudice spreading a rumor that Melissa cheated on her husband, the reunion was sure to be explosive, but the Envy boutique owner came dressed for it. Looking like a glamorous boxer, she wore a blue hooded gown, but thankfully left the gloves at home. 

Since "Scandoval," "Scamanda" has to be the biggest shakeup in Bravo history. When Ciara Miller found out that her close friend Amanda Batula was dating her ex West Wilson fans could not believe the betrayal. While Miller is undoubtedly devastated, she looked like a superstar at the "Euphoria" Season 3 premiere, where she told ET that she was "thriving." Wearing a black two-piece that showed off her miles-long legs, Miller threw some shade when she interviewed Sydney Sweeney and asked, "If you steal your friend's ex-boyfriend..." to which the actor replied, "It's not good." A double revenge at its finest.
