Bravo, Bravo, fucking, Bravo. It has brought us so much, particularly this year in wake of #Scandoval. It’s high time we paid tribute. And what better way than celebrating with the best holiday, Halloween? (Fight with a mirror, I’m right!) There’s a million options to choose from and iconic moments a plenty, so I pulled together a handy list for you. You’ll be feelin’ Jovani in any of these delightful, referential, and totally hilarious costumes this Halloween. Mazel!
Luann de Lesseps “Don’t Be All Uncool”
Luann just wanted everybody to be chill after a very late night with a certain St. Barths pirate. Channel her wisdom with this easy to throw on costume.
Teresa Giudice And Luis Ruelas Wedding
Iconic couples costume alert! Claim your spot as Jersey royalty with a nest of hair, tiara, and pearl-studded gloves with this ode to RHONJ.
Alison Dubois And Her E-cigarette
“The Dinner Party From Hell” episode is legendary in Housewives canon, and possibly even more legendary is Alison puff-puffing away on her e-cig, smugly. And sadly she was right about Kyle and Mauricio!
Jenna Fucking Lyons
Sex on legs and resident Cool Girl of the RHONY reboot, Jenna Lyons is an easy to execute costume. Now if only donning this ‘fit turned my apartment into an NYC penthouse…
A SURver
I go to SUR more than I’m willing to admit. (Those goat cheese balls, baby!) Thus, I am very familiar with the “uniform”; a glorified long tee shirt and a teeny tiny black pouch. Bring a pitcher of Pumptinis to the pregame.
Dorinda Medley As Lady Gaga
A costume within a costume, this look is genius for a couple reasons. It’s instantly recognizable to the masses, but will help you find your Bravo people at the party if they clock this as Dorinda. Make sure to slur your speech a lot.
Lisa Rinna And The Bunny
A mea culpa for being a giant (and hilariously cuckoo) asshole to Kim Richards all of RHOBH Season 7, the bunny that got returned to sender should be easy to find… and so should the Rinna signature: that hairdo and an animal print dress.
Andy Cohen
Be Daddy Bravo himself this Halloween! Bonus points if you’re already a silver fox. Don’t forget the Makers Mark.
Scheana Marie “Good as Gold”
We will take any excuse to dance on a bar, and dressing up as Scheana Marie performing her smash single “Good as Gold” is as good as any excuse.
Inmates Jen Shah And Elizabeth Holmes
BFFs and partners in Sha-mazing, the Real Housewives of Federal Prison Camp Jen Shah and Elizabeth Holmes make a very solid costume duo.
Dame Karen Huger Wig Adjustment
As Ashley Darby succinctly put it, “Cousin It came to the barbeque”, making this costume all the more appropriate. Make sure you arrive to the function with a three wick candle!
Kenya Moore “Gone With The Wind Fabulous”
I cannot in good conscience recommend both drinking this Halloween and constant spinning to explain this costume, so proceed with caution on this one.
Hippie/Graham
Is there anything more LA than a dog with an identity crisis? There are many Bravo dogs you could be (Lucy Lucy Apple Juicy, Giggy, even Sonjarita’s dog Marley) but DJ James Kennedy’s poor poodle mix feels especially timely.
Shannon Beador’s Couples Retreat Grave
Another Spooky Szn appropriate choice! Who can forget Shannon’s incredibly unhinged couple’s retreat where a therapist insisted she and David perform a eulogy and funeral service, as a way of reviving their marriage. Spoiler alert! It failed, but this costume will slay!
Tom Sandoval In Drag
“Look at him, he’s a battered wife!” A favorite VPR moment, Sandoval in drag in NOLA is a deepish cut costume wise, but an absolute winner as far as Bravo-centric costumes go.
