Someone put Green Day on the aux, Summer House season 9 has come and passed. And, just like Billie Joe Armstrong solemnly sings, the innocence did not, in fact, last, especially when it came to shockingly unexpected villain behavior from former fan favorite Jesse Solomon (y’alls favorite, not mine, because after the seventh rendition of that damn song, I was already kinda on the fence). But you know what’s very in? Pastels for spring! And the Summer House cast deciding to serve Easter Bunny Baddies for this year’s reunion and making it look chic AF is, actually, kind of groundbreaking. Like, remember when RHOC gave pastels a college try? Yeah, no, me neither.
It does bring an ice-cold comfort to know that no matter how fired up I get watching their semi-adolescent debauchery, they will always go above and beyond to bring the heat to their coordinated reunion looks (thanks Hubbhouse!). Go grab yourself a chocolate rabbit while I rank the Summer House season 9 reunion outfits from worst to best.
Summer House Season 9 Reunion Outfits: Best And Worst Dressed

Let’s start with the ladies.
Ciara Miller: Worst Dressed
I know Ciara is a southern belle, but I think this dress might’ve been more fitting for the Grande Dame instead. Don’t get me wrong, it’s interesting to see Ciara switch it up with a look that’s more ethereal than midriff, but I think this may have accidentally leaned too mumu, with the feathery flower, and I’m confused about how the arm hardware fits in.
Paige DeSorbo
I do love this soft sea green, and the cutout gives the silhouette at least a little something to make it memorable, but the coils around the middle look distractingly DIY for my taste. TBH, she could actually make a pretty penny promoting that on her next Amazon Live.
Amanda Batula
This lavender is lovely, and I appreciate Amanda taking a bigger swing than her usual long-sleeved svelte vibe, but I just wish there was some more volume on the bottom to balance the inverted triangle of the bodice.
Gabby Prescod
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: NEED Gabby’s pilates instructor’s number, ASAP. This modern mod number is so cute and so flirty (hair styling most definitely included).
Lindsay Hubbard
Did someone say mother? Lindsay’s light purple gown has the same angular element and color as Amanda’s, but this draping?? Damn, does it take the vision to the next level.
Lexi Wood: Best Dressed
Okay, I’m not saying this is a Lexi Wood stan account or anything, but I am starting to expect one thing from Lexi since she keeps delivering it: standing on business. This look is one million times better than anything Lexi wore on the show, so I’m just as gagged as you are to see her slay the #1 spot. But I’m sorry, sequins, shimmer, jewels, a deep V that could break a neck… show me the notes! You know what, Lexi, go ahead and mail me my fan card, pls, and I’ll see you next season.
Now, onto the fellas.
Jesse Solomon: Worst Dressed
Rest assured, I take my work judging fashions without bias as seriously as if I were sitting next to Heidi Klum on Project Runway. So it gives me no pleasure (okay, very little pleasure) to say, despite Jesse Solomon’s delusional dating behavior all season long, that he is the worst dressed for the bros. He told Bravo he was afraid to look too “preppy” in pastel, but this black scoop neck t-shirt from Target under a blue linen suit that desperately needed steaming is sending me to the moon, style-wise.
Imrul Hassan
This is a pretty phoned-in tan ensemble for Summer House, but Imrul is pretty nice to look at, so, hey, it’s not all bad. He might’ve ousted West if he wasn’t for some unholy reason wearing frighteningly white trainers with black socks???
West Wilson
After wearing a lineup of looks so wacky that fans couldn’t stop comparing West’s aesthetic to various pop culture icons from Robin Williams in The Birdcage to Gen-Z Waldo (as in Where’s?), he wears this to the reunion?! I have to laugh. I love these glasses that say, “I’m a serious entertainment professional who didn’t get professionally hammered all summer.”
Kyle Cooke
This blue is stunning, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that Kyle looks lighter and brighter than he has in years. See what chopping off a mullet will do for ya!
Carl Radke
And another dark horse races to the finish! Carl, of Mary-Jane meme fame, really nailed this suits should be fun getup. The suit is tailored, the undershirt looks casual but expensive, and yes, these shoes look way better.
