The Moment
BravoCon 2025 touched down in Las Vegas this weekend, and the blue carpet did not come to play. Think: latex, leopard, and every neckline that Vegas neon can find. It’s a fan convention, yes, but also a runway where reality stars try to out-bling one another—and sometimes the outfits outsmart the moment.
On opening day, event photos showed Erika Jayne in a dusky-rose latex skirt with a corseted top, a softer spin on her club-kid era. Lindsay Hubbard arrived in chartreuse with strategic cutouts and jester energy. Ashley Darby leaned full Bravo with sheer tights shouting “Troublemaker,” a plunging black top, and an animal-print coat. Lala Kent went all-in on animal print—top and matching headband. Monique Samuels paired a sweet, skater-esque pink set with a straight-to-boardroom blazer. Shamea Morton Mwangi doubled down on head-to-toe royal blue latex—hat included. And Luann de Lesseps played it hot pink with black tights and throwback booties.
In other words: the fashions are loud, the choices louder, and the internet is… debating.
The Take
I love a bold swing. But some of these reads like a themed party where half the guests missed the theme—fun, but not quite cohesive. Erika’s latex works because she tempered it; it’s the rare RHOBH look that whispers instead of shouts. Lindsay’s chartreuse cutouts fight the silhouette—great color, chaotic lines. Ashley’s “Troublemaker” tights? Camp can work, but the look stacks statement on statement until none of them get to land. Lala’s matchy-matchy animal print flattens her into wallpaper. Monique’s blazer over skating separates is a genre mash that never drops the beat. Shamea’s royal-blue latex is a commitment I respect; the hat makes it costume instead of fashion. And Luann—gorgeous woman, tough styling—those black booties date the whole thing.
BravoCon fashion is a Vegas slot machine: pull the lever and you either hit jackpot drama—or a loud clang and a lesson for next time. Tonight, I’m hearing a few clanks.
Receipts
Confirmed:
- BravoCon 2025 opened in Las Vegas at Caesars Forum on Nov. 14 (per Bravo’s official event schedule).
- Event photos from the BravoCon blue carpet on Nov. 14 show: Erika Jayne in rose latex with a corset; Lindsay Hubbard in a chartreuse cutout mini; Ashley Darby in sheer “Troublemaker” tights with an animal-print coat; Lala Kent in coordinated animal print; Monique Samuels in a pink set with a blazer; Shamea Morton Mwangi in head-to-toe royal blue latex with a hat; Luann de Lesseps in a hot-pink mini with black tights and black booties.
Unverified/Subjective:
- Any “worst dressed” labeling is opinion. Media roundups and fan chatter framed some of these looks as misses, but that’s taste, not a fact.
Backstory (For Casual Readers)
BravoCon is the network’s annual fan summit—panels, meet-and-greets, live tea spills with Andy Cohen, and enough Housewives to form a small city. The blue carpet is its Met Gala: not haute couture, but pop-culture cosplay with glam squads. Attendees expect gossip, sneak peeks, and outfits that photograph from 50 feet away.
What’s Next
More panels mean more looks—expect cast photo ops, Watch What Happens Live tapings, and a deluge of Instagram outfit credits. If history repeats, we’ll see wardrobe pivots by Saturday night (aka “the redemption look”). Keep an eye on Bravo’s official feeds and the stars’ socials for second-day styling and any surprise announcements about upcoming seasons.
