RHOC Season 19 Reunion Looks
When the RHOC Season 19 reunion hit screens, it wasn’t just about rehashing the drama — it was a runway of Old Hollywood glamour meets Orange County attitude.
On October 9, the cast — Shannon Storms Beador, Heather Dubrow, Tamra Judge, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jennifer Pedranti, Katie Ginella, and Emily Simpson — gathered with Andy Cohen to revisit the season’s highs, lows, and headlines.
Even former Housewife Gretchen Rossi returned for the taping, adding her perspective (and her signature sparkle) to the night.
