Get yourself a girl who can do both, and by both, I mean go from wearing the most epic revenge dress to a pair of sweats in 2.5 seconds. If you don’t already know what I’m referencing, then you’re clearly living under a rock and need to log onto #VPRTikTok immediately and reassess your priorities. Yes, I’m talking about Ariana Madix and every look she’s worn in public since the dawn of #Scandoval.

The ~~Super Bowl~~ Vanderpump Rules 3-part reunion airs starting Wednesday, May 24, at 9 p.m. on Bravo, and what better way to show your support for our number 1 queen than being comfy AF in the same sweats she dons on the regular (as if we needed another reason to wear sweats)? I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the fact that the pair of sweats she wore on her way to get ready for the epic reunion quite literally spoke for itself with a mantra that we should all hold near and dear to our hearts: “1-800-Boys-Lie.” But, that’s not the only set she’s worn in her revenge era. And since there are so many sweats, so little time, I found some of her best looks for you so you can stop stalking her IG and start prepping for the drama.

1-800-Boys-Lie

When this image hit the internet, we all collectively RAN to buy this set, so naturally, it’s sold out. That said, the brand has a ton of equally amazing options that just hit the nail on the head.

Or if yellow is just really giving you that much-needed dose of serotonin during these dark AF, drama-filled episodes (which is all of us) here’s another great option. Just add an iced coffee and you’re set.

Shopping Is Her Cardio

Like a lot of people on a beautiful Saturday in SoHo, Ariana was caught doing what any normal girl does for a workout—going shopping. It’s like, really exhausting looking that good all the time. Lucky for you, you can snag the same look with a sweat set and the exact sneaks she was wearing.

Serving More Than Just Pumptinis

In a post just before she joined Andy Cohen for Watch What Happens Live, Ariana literally went from zero to 100 in no time. That said, her zero look was the hero of the night IMO… I mean, the idea of rolling up to a step-and-repeat in this is honestly iconic, and if I could do the same thing, I would. Plus, you’d have something to change back into on the ride home and we all know that’s literally a must.

All Hail Ariana Madix, Queen of the Revenge Dress

Whether you’re a reality TV junkie or not, you’ve undoubtedly been sucked into the drama that is Scandoval. I mean, all you need to do is simply ~open~ your Instagram app to be flooded with VPR content (and if you need a refresher, @BravobyBetches is an elite place to get it).

And while there is no more comforting feeling than knowing we’re all picking the same side, it’s even more satisfying seeing Ariana just fucking nail the dress code. Honestly, she could wear a potato sack and still look stunning, but her look on Watch What Happens Live last night solidified the fact that there hasn’t been a better clap back since Princess Diana’s revenge dress circa 1994.

I feel like this whole revenge era kicked off with Ariana’s OG #Scandoval dress: the iconic red number she wore to the season 10 reunion that actually isn’t even a dress at all. It’s a top/skirt combo with a price tag that would likely end any relationship. But honestly, who are we to judge? Feeling hot AF is priceless. But, if you aren’t either a) on a PR list for free shit or b) in a position to fork over a paycheck for a single dress (hi, it’s me), I found some dresses inspired by her killer looks so you can have your own revenge era. You’re welcome.
