Five of the Best Real Housewives Halloween Costumes

Ali B

I am not one for Halloween, dressing up was never really my thing, even as a child. However, when you are rich, that opens all new doors for costume designing. I have compiled a list of five of my favorite costumes worn by Real Housewives.

#5: Romana Singer as Britney Spears

Watch See Even More From Bethenny and Ramona's Halloween Argument | The Real Housewives of New York City Season 10 - Episode 1 Video

Halloween 2017 Romona showed she was not that innocent when she dressed up in the iconic red latex jumpsuit from Britney’s “Oops!… I Did It Again” music video. Even at 60 years old, she still looks so good in her costume.

#4: Kris Jenner as Jack Skellington

Kris Jenner Looked Unrecognizable In Her Spooky Halloween Costume

Now I am FULLY aware that award-winning momager, Kris Jenner, is not an official housewife. However, I think of her as an honorary one. She has made cameos on multiple episodes of RHOBH and she is a reality television icon. She deserves an honorary mention. This year she dressed up as Jack
Skellington from Tim Burton’s “Nightmare Before Christmas“.

#3: Shannon Beador as Bret Micheals

Another iconic costume from 2017. Shannon has expressed her love for Bret Michaels in the past, but she took it to a whole new level when she dressed up as the rocker on Halloween.

#2: Cynthia Bailey as 50 Cent

Real Housewife of Atlanta, Cynthia, made an iconic statement in 2017 when she went has rapper 50 Cent for Halloween.

#1: Lisa Rinna as Erika Jayne

Of course I have to rate this one as my number one pick. This costume combines two of my favorite housewives from my favorite franchise. I will never forget when Lisa walked into Kyle’s party dressed up like this. It was the talk of the night!

Turtle Time and The Last Leg

Ali B

Before I recap one of the most iconic episodes of Real Housewives of New York, it is very important that I talk about turtle time. The term coined by one Ramona Singer, she explains that turtle time is about breaking out a bottle (or eight) of Pinot Grigio and kicking back with your girlfriends under the comfort of your own roof and just have a blast. Romona takes turtle time so seriously, her tagline for season 5 is “Get the Pinot ready, because it’s turtle time”. It rolls right off the tongue, I’m guilty of saying the phrase way too much.

Let me jump into a recap of debatably the most iconic episode in Real Housewives history. There were two major things that happened in this episode: Sonja realizing what she’s worth and the leg incident. Season 6, Episode 20 of RHONY starts out with Sonja being distraught after being left by her boyfriend (almost fiancé). A newly single Countess and a tipsy New York businessman do not make for a good combo, especially when that certain tipsy NY businessman has an amazing, confident girlfriend that he “wanted” to commit to. All in all, Sonja proves to be nothing but resilient when she sits Harry down and lets him know that he was totally in the wrong and that he has lost her forever.

Now that we’ve got Sonja out of the way, let’s get to the real nitty gritty: the leg event. Season 6 was filled with attacks on Aviva, I’m not going to sit here and say if they were deserved or not, but the final straw was for Aviva was the ladies talking about if her asthma was real or not. Hmmm…. sounds a lot like Yolanda Hadid and the “m” word if you ask me, which Queen Carole brought up at the party. Anyway, Aviva being upset arrives to the Team Sonja party. Remarkably, she left Ried at home and showed up looking a little less than healthy.

And now for the main event: The Last Leg. With the women whispering and walking on eggshells around Aviva. With the white wine flowing, nothing was held back. Aviva makes her way over to the women and they immediately say how sick she looks. They are dancing around saying the word “Munchausen”, after slandering Aviva’s character and life choices, is when it starts to bubble over.

Attacks on Aviva from all the women were made and they waste no time making sure that they think she is a phony. Aviva cannot take it anymore and lets them know: “The only thing fake about me is THIS!!” and then the leg comes off. A prestigious, New York socialite chooses to slam her prosthetic leg on the table in hopes to prove what? That she isn’t being fake to all of her friends?

That truly was a statement made by Ms. Dresher, she has proven her point all while looking like a complete lunatic. All in all, the women made it through yet another season. We have to give it up for them. Let’s raise our glasses of Grigio to these seven women who are nothing less than entertaining. Here’s to turtle time!
