Ahead of the Summer House Season 10 premiere, Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula announced their divorce after four years of marriage. Kyle and Amanda’s relationship was a major part of Summer House from Season 1. Alas, it was rocky more often than not. So, fans weren’t terribly surprised. But they were curious to see how Season 10 would play out with this knowledge.

Leading up to the season premiere, Kyle and Amanda insisted things were as cordial as possible. They did press together, and Kyle honored her in a toast at the premiere party. More details about the timeline of their split also came out, as Amanda revealed they already broke up before BravoCon. But even if Kyle and Amanda hadn’t announced their split, the season premiere made it clear the writing was on the wall. We’re sure to see more of the marriage breakdown in the upcoming spin-off. But there were so many signs of it in the premiere alone, we had to make a list.

How the Summer House Season 10 Premiere Foreshadowed Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s Split

Summer House viewers know Kyle and Amanda always had problems. She even referenced the fans’ opinions about their relationship on screen. But the vibes in the premiere episode alone were extra tense. Amanda chose to ride with Ciara Miller instead of Kyle. It seemed the brief time she spent with Kyle in the car to meet Ciara was more than enough.  

Somehow, they managed to make the first night meal even more awkward than newbie Bailey Taylor did when she burst into tears. It was like a millennial Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. In almost every scene, one made snarky comments about the other. Such as Kyle, after he saw Amanda holding chickens, cracking, “Amanda, I thought you forgot how to handle a cock.” Yikes! 

Amanda wasn’t the only person Kyle had tension with either. Carl Radke hinted at the distance in their friendship throughout the episode. And the premiere opened with a flashforward of a major fight between the former besties to come. But Kyle’s doomed relationship with Amanda definitely took center stage in the premiere. 

There was a lot to unpack. But here are a few of the most notable signs that Kyle and Amanda were headed for divorce not long after the season wrapped.

Kyle’s DJ career was the straw that broke the camel’s back in his marriage to Amanda 

When the new girls said it seems like people just become DJs to party, Amanda said that was exactly right in Kyle’s case. In a flashback, she lamented that Kyle chose this career just as she asked him to party less and be at home more. At dinner, Amanda outright said that Kyle became a DJ just to spite her because of her ambitions to start a bathing suit line.

Later in a conversation with Ciara, Amanda said another friend knew a DJ who didn’t drink and went home right after his set. But Kyle wouldn’t be willing to do that. It’s not just Amanda either. Carl also doesn’t see Kyle as much since this new career. He sees the DJ career as Kyle not really committing to Amanda. It made them live two different lives.

Kyle lost his wedding ring 

In just one of the many uncomfortable moments between them at the dinner table, Amanda shared that Kyle lost his wedding ring. In response, she refused to wear her ring either. And wouldn’t put hers back on until he got a new one. Shakespeare couldn’t write better symbolism that the marriage was over than that. Jesse Solomon joked that they could cosplay as single … but it was obvious they wouldn’t have to cosplay soon enough.

Amanda became numb to rumors about Kyle 

In one of her heart-to-hearts with Ciara, Amanda admitted just how checked out she really was in her marriage. She revealed that yet another rumor came out, but they squashed it in the media. Still, her reaction surprised her … because she was barely affected by it. Amanda recalled how upset these rumors used to make her. Summer House fans surely flashed back to seasons past. But now, she’s numb to it all. Amanda realized how bad that sounds, and she wasn’t happy that she grew so used to it. 

Later at West Wilson’s party, Amanda also admitted that the internet reactions to their marriage took a toll. There’s only so many times you can see comments telling you to get a divorce.

Kyle felt unappreciated by Amanda 

Kyle spent most of the premiere complaining about his wife. Specifically, how he felt ignored by her. He hoped to rekindle things at the house. But instead, she jumped in bed with the girls (Ciara and Jesse). Kyle said that they barely spent anytime together in the past few months. Once again, because of his DJ career. Since he’s touring, he was only in the city for one and a half weekends over the past six months. 

At the dinner table, he lamented that she doesn’t ask him questions about his career (because she’s upset about it, Kyle!) and doesn’t listen. A fed up Amanda misheard this as him saying she was jealous, which she mocked. Then she realized she proved his point about listening. 

At the party, Kyle told friends Amanda doesn’t make an effort. And he was “freaked out” that they were such opposites. Now more than ever, with Kyle as a DJ and Amanda as a bed bug.

Kyle flipped out when Amanda (sort of) skinny dipped 

As the party winded down, the cast jumped in the pool. Most of them in their clothes or underwear. Amanda joined in, and entered the pool in a bra and underwear. Despite comments that her boobs were out, she wasn’t naked. However, Kyle was convinced she jumped in naked. She had to tell and show him that she wasn’t. Even still, Kyle said she should’ve told him first. Amanda pointed out how ridiculous this was, as they all jumped in the pool at the same time. When would she have had the chance to give him a heads up anyway? Still, Kyle was upset.

And that’s how the premiere ended. It sure seems like it’s going to be a long summer for these two … and their housemates awkwardly caught in the middle.

Summer House is available to stream on Peacock.

Last time on Southern Charm, Austen’s birthday dinner turned into a blowout fight with Craig. The two hurled the most hurtful accusations and insults at each other, with Shep literally caught in the middle. At the end of the night, Austen told Craig he hated him. Before that, Venita told Madison that she missed her friendship with Salley. Craig and Charley went on a successful first date. But Salley realized she made a mistake going for Craig, now that she was left with those chickens. What happened on Southern Charm Season 11 this week?

What happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 10?

This week, the group heads to Whitner’s family farm. As one relationship ends, two new romantic connections appear to blossom. But Salley’s gossip about Craig makes Charley question her motives. And makes Craig more wary of Salley than ever. Here’s what else happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 10, “Two Truths and a Single Lie.”

Everyone’s still in shock from Craig and Austen’s fight

Shep, Craig, and Austen are often able to bounce back from their fights, but this one was different. To Shep, it felt like a breakup. Whitney says the same. Austen leans on his cats, and Madison, for emotional support. Austen calling Madison first to be a supportive friend in an emotional crisis now … they’ve come so far! Craig doesn’t want to think about the fight, instead focusing on things that make him happy … like Charley. 

There is hope for one friendship in this group, as Salley and Molly meet up for a head massage/wash and blow-dry. Despite their fight weeks ago, Salley misses her friend. I get it, Molly is a gem. Molly is slightly skeptical that Salley just wants to make up because she has no one else amidst the drama with Charley and Venita. Speaking of, Salley blames Venita for her problems with Molly. For now, the two girls vow not to let anyone come between them again.

Whitner bring the cast home

After he didn’t appear on Southern Charm the past two weeks, this is a Whitner-central episode. The friend group goes to his family farm compound. We learn why his family farm is named Itchy Grass – it’s because he and his sisters thought the tall grass was itchy. And we learn that Jimmy Buffett was his uncle!

Madison is going with the group to Whitner’s, even at 34 weeks pregnant. She jokes that she might give birth there. Brett wisely doesn’t trust any of the group to deliver their baby. The rest of the friend group carpools in groups of three.

It’ll be the first time Craig and Austen see each other since the dinner, so everyone braces themselves for tension. Craig just hopes that Austen doesn’t “attack” him on the trip.

Is there already trouble in paradise for Craig and Charley?

While driving Molly and Charley, Salley tells Charley that she heard Craig is talking about her to the guys. He’s convinced she’ll fall in love with him, and he doesn’t want to break her heart. Molly’s facial reactions are priceless. In a confessional, Molly says, “I love her, but Salley is a jealous psycho.”

Charley can’t see Craig saying that, but Salley insists he’s the problem. As Molly pointed out weeks ago, Salley has taken on Venita’s role as Craig’s number one hater. And she’s doing to Charley what Venita did to her. 

Austen drops a breakup bombshell

Austen roasts Craig while in the car with Rod and Venita, but neither one of them believe Austen will ever cut Craig out for good. Rodrigo says it’s like Brokeback Mountain, that Austen wishes he could quit Craig.

But Austen did break up … with Audrey. For the first time, instead of waiting for a girl to break up with him, he made the move. Audrey was the perfect girlfriend, but he still felt like something was missing. Austen asks Venita and Rod to keep it quiet, to avoid Shep and Craig’s “told you so” moments.

Just then, as if she had an “Austen is single” spidey sense, Salley calls to fill them in on the Craig gossip. Charley already says she doesn’t believe it, that no one is falling in love and she’s “alone.” Austen jokes he’ll be alone with her. When Salley mentions his girlfriend, he murmurs “We’ll talk about that.” Realizing he might be single, Salley’s incredibly giddy. Rod jokes that Austen shouldn’t rush into a hand job with Salley. 

Salley has completely moved on from Craig to Austen

As the group meets up at the pool, Austen and Craig completely avoid each other. Salley asks Venita about Audrey, but Venita says her lips are sealed, because she values loyalty. Salley misses how close they were, but Venita’s reaction to Craig’s rejection still bothers her. Venita calls it a misunderstanding and insists she was never mad at Salley, only Craig. Salley admits she sees Craig for what he is now.

When Madison arrives, Salley gushes that Ausen looks “sexy as f*ck.” Madison says “too soon!” and confirms his split from Audrey. Madison has become his closest confidant, and seemingly one of the first people he told. 

Is Salley trying to come between Charley and Craig?

As they flirt by the pool, Charley tells Craig what Salley mentioned in the car. But she doesn’t believe it. Craig is predictably furious that people are gossiping and meddling in his personal life. He accuses Salley of being jealous, and Charley agrees. She wants to believe Salley told her this to be a protective friend, but … she doesn’t. She and Craig reaffirm their feelings for each other, with big smiles. 

Craig confronts Salley, who claims she heard it from Shep. At this point, it sounds to me like Shep mentioned the string of fears and questions about dating that Craig talked about at Austen’s dinner, but it got lost in translation as him being condescending towards Charley. Craig denies saying it, and asks why she doesn’t give him the benefit of the doubt. He tells Salley he can’t trust her anymore. He thinks she’s intentionally trying to come between him and Charley because she’s jealous. Salley walks away ranting about “all these MANCHILDREN!”

Salley still insists to Charley that Craig said it, and asks her, “Who do you believe?” Just then, Craig walks by, saying, “Keep talking about me, it’s fine.” “We’re not talking about you! Not everything is about you!” Salley fires back. We’ve come a long way from those late night hot tub parties.

Craig is more wary of Salley than ever

The guests head to their cabins (except Craig, who gets a fancy tent). Madison and Venita’s view is a little Friday the 13th’s Camp Crystal Lake … but at least there are some random knives in their cabin should Jason find them!

Rodrigo and Austen (who wears a silly hat to distract from his first pimple in years) have a more serene vista. In the second Brokeback Mountain reference of the episode, Austen calls it Brokeback Pond. He gets melancholy about Audrey, but also admits to a sense of relief. Rod loved Audrey and wanted it to work out, but he’s glad Austen cut it off instead of wasting more of Audrey’s time. 

Craig goes over to Shep’s barn loft, and tells him what Salley said. Shep denies saying that. Craig feels triggered because it’s a “misrepresentation” of who he is. Shep agrees that Craig isn’t a “big swinging dick” kind of guy who would say something like that. Shep says “no one is more respectful to females than Craig Conover,” which…are we sure? “He thinks white doves are gonna come out from the trees, like Cinderella!”

Regardless, the ordeal makes Craig turn against Salley even more. He calls her a “gossip,” and Shep agrees with him that she’s “an agent of chaos.”

Southern Charm airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo. Episodes can be streamed on Peacock.

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF SOUTHERN CHARM SEASON 11 EPISODE 10? DO YOU BELIEVE CRAIG OR SALLEY? WERE YOU SURPRISED AUSTEN BROKE UP WITH AUDREY?

The post Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 10 Recap: Farm-to-Table Gossip appeared first on Reality Tea.

Let’s face it, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City viewers weren’t exactly shocked when Bronwyn Newport and Todd Bradley separated. Just look at RHOSLC celebrity superfan John Oliver’s stone-faced, deadpan reaction on Watch What Happens Live. Bronwyn bravely shared a lot about her marriage this season, and the cracks were apparent. There were rumors of Todd’s infidelity, embarrassingly while farting. Then there was the cherry incident, which only Mary Cosby found endearing.

But after officially announcing her separation during Part 3 of the RHOSLC Season 6 reunion, Bronwyn is sharing a lot more about how her marriage reached the point of no return. And about her present and future relationship with Todd. Here’s everything we know about why RHOSLC’s Bronwyn Newport decided to end her marriage to Todd Bradley.

Bronwyn announced her separation from Todd Bradley on Part 3 of the RHOSLC reunion

After catching strays about Todd’s behavior all reunion, Bronwyn officially announced the separation in Part 3. Most of the ladies weren’t shocked. Except for Mary, who cried “No!” Whitney Rose, who had her own marriage struggles, broke down in tears and ran off stage to see her husband Justin.

Bronwyn emphasized it was her decision. She admitted she was trying desperately to save her marriage before. For instance, she didn’t really want an open relationship, but suggested it out of desperation. She also said Todd wasn’t willing to talk about their issues. One of the last straws was when Todd chastised her for confiding in Whitney. If she couldn’t discuss their issues with Todd or with anyone else, she felt hopeless and alone.

Bronwyn explained more about her decision in an interview with People. Despite their problems on the show, she said they had a wonderful summer together, where he was very supportive after her dad passed away. But once RHOSLC Season 6 began airing, the problems came back.

Her 40th birthday was a wake-up call that led to a lot of reflection about her future. Around her birthday, she remembered a meaningful conversation with her father 15 years prior. Bronwyn realized, “if I wanted anything out of that conversation, I was going to have to do it for myself.”  Bronwyn told Todd she wanted to seperate, and they did so “quietly” and “slowly.”

Attending BravoCon without Todd made her feel more secure about the seperation. It was “the first time that I felt like if he wasn’t [in my life], I was going to be okay.” Afterwards, she “felt okay and happy and fine and like there were things for me in the future.”

Did RHOSLC break up Bronwyn and Todd’s marriage?

At the reunion, Bronwyn maintained that the show didn’t break up her and Todd. She felt they were already headed for separation. The show just sped things up a bit. She said the same to People, but admitted that watching RHOSLC was “eye-opening.” Bronwyn explained, “I didn’t like how needy I was, and I didn’t like how upset or defensive I was. It wasn’t a relationship that I felt like I wanted to be going forward with anymore.”

In one of the reunion’s most shocking moments, Bronwyn revealed that Todd watched RHOSLC in its entirety, starting in Season 1. He was upset about how he came across. For instance, that he never looked her in the eye when they talked. He also made the brutal choice to look up everything fans said about him on Reddit.

“Todd hates the show,” Bronwyn told People. “I don’t think that’s a surprise to anyone who’s seen it. He thinks that I didn’t need to do it, or I didn’t need to prove to other people who I was or who I am.”

Bronwyn emphasized there’s more to Todd than viewers and Redditors realize. “Something you don’t see on the show, is how charismatic he is,” she claimed, adding, “Todd really adores people and is so helpful. If he knows somebody or he knows something that can help you, he’s going to do it for you.”

Are Bronwyn and Todd still living together?

During Part 3 of the RHOSLC Season 6 reunion, Bronwyn said that she and Todd were no longer living together. While she was in Utah, Todd stayed in New York. Despite the reunion filming in New York, Bronwyn said she had no plans to see him at the time. Ouch!

However, it seems things may have changed since the reunion filmed in December. Because People reported that Bronwyn and Todd are still residing in Utah together despite their separation. She said they’re doing so for the dogs. In addition to her pets, Bronwyn still has a very full house. Her mom Muzzy is still residing there, along with Bronwyn’s daughter Gwen and Gwen’s boyfriend Logan. It appears the People photoshoot took place in Bronwyn’s home…presumably on a day Todd wasn’t there.

Regardless, Bronwyn insists, “I thrive in the crazy.” She even hopes that, one day, she and Todd will be in a good enough place to go on double dates. But despite the TikToks and memes, Bronwyn insists that she will not be dating Whitney. Meanwhile, Todd was already spotted on what appeared to be a date. Maybe we’ll see more of the awkward living arrangement on RHOSLC Season 7. Though it’s doubtful Todd will agree to film anymore. Especially after seeing the brutal Reddit comments! However, Bronwyn is hopeful about the future, and also hopes to stay on the show.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is available to stream on Peacock.

Last week on Southern Charm Season 11, Rodrigo and Tyler’s engagement party was full of (other people’s) drama. Things were awkward between former BFFs Venita and Salley. Craig cleared the air with Salley so Charley would feel less guilty about their date. He also declared Austen his enemy. Meanwhile, Austen flirted with Salley right in front of his poor girlfriend Audrey. The episode ended with Austen and Audrey fighting.

What happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 9?

This week on Southern Charm Season 11, it’s Austen’s 38th birthday, and he talks about his future with his mom. Venita hopes she can repair her friendship with Salley. Molly (who still has her infamous weave from America’s Next Top Model stashed away) prepares to sing live again. And Charley goes on her first date with Craig. Austen’s birthday dinner leads to another explosive fight between him and Craig. Here’s what else happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 9, “Best Frenemies Forever.”

Venita wants her friend back

Last time, Venita’s mom scolded her for not being there for Salley. This week, Venita tells Madison how much she misses their friendship. Madison takes on the mom role and encourages both the girls to get over it and make up. “These girls are being childish,” she says, “they need to realize that the only relationship that’s gonna work is the friendship between the two of them.” She encourages Venita to talk to Salley.

Craig and Shep or Laverne and Shirley?

This week, Shep and Craig continue living together, which the show edits like a sitcom (laugh track and all). When they go to see Shep’s “big boy house,” the guys gossip about Austen and Audrey. They think he creates a minefield of problems for himself (Rodrigo compares it to Sideshow Bob and the rakes). Craig says Austen should follow the mindset of “everything is your fault,” something he saw a few years ago. Craig, in what world do you follow that mindset? Hearing CRAIG and SHEP talk about taking accountability and not blaming others for your problems is WILD.

Austen’s emotional sit down with his mom

Ahead of his birthday, Austen goes to his parents’ and shows his tribute tattoo to Kyle. His mom believes if Kyle survived, she’d be married with kids and advising Austen. This leads Austen to open up about his relationship, as he once again admits it’s at a crossroads.

After Rodrigo and Tyler’s engagement party, Audrey pointed out he always says “I” instead of “we” when talking about the future. His mom reminds him that when most people commit, they aren’t 100% sure at first if it’s the right person. Austen doesn’t know what’s wrong with him, since Audrey is a perfect partner. I guess his fear of commitment is that intense? He also isn’t sure he wants to have kids. But his mom tearfully tells him that having kids was the best thing she ever did.

Salley wants kids, not chickens

Austen’s current love interest Salley can’t wait to have kids. She jokes about stealing her sister’s baby and volunteers to watch the infant during the late night shift. However, Salley’s not feeling any maternal instinct towards the chickens. She wants to return them or drop them off with Craig (he named them, after all!). While Salley doesn’t like to live in regret (except for buying those chickens), she admits pursuing Craig was a mistake.

Craig and Charley’s first date

Meanwhile, Craig and Charley go on their oyster farm date. It’s the first time he’s been on a date without hooking up with the person ahead of time. As they eat oysters, he asks Charley about her ex. She says they were together for three and a half years, but he didn’t want to commit, despite talking about the future. Craig relates. Charley also admits she can be codependent, which we’ve seen in her dynamic with Salley. She and Craig flirt a lot, and they have chemistry. She asks him out again and he says yes.

The core four celebrate Austen’s birthday

Whitney throws a birthday dinner for Austen with fellow “OGs” Craig and Shep, but he’s worried about the guy’s drama. According to Shep, Austen is tired of being under Craig’s thumb. “Craig can be a bully,” Whitney says, but “Austen holds grudges … so it just becomes this circle jerk of stupidity and acrimony that keeps festering.” That’s one way to put it! (Side note: did everyone watch the Heated Rivalry edits of Craig and Austen on social media?) Jack, who is basically Craig’s non-ChatGPT therapist, advises him to go.

Finally, we’ve reached the dinner teased in Season 11’s premiere. Craig gifts Austen a very nice bowtie, so Austen jokes that he’s “frenemy number one.” Austen remembers that, the first time they met, Craig asked if he wanted to become best friends just to piss Shep off.

Shep is happy Austen and Craig are getting along, wishing it could be like this all the time. Craig makes a preposition proposition that everyone stay positive and have fun. However, Austen wants Craig to answer for some things.

Austen asks about the date with Charley. Whitney asks “Did you consummate” … and I really didn’t need to hear Whitney say “consummate.” Craig asks a whole bunch of weird questions about dating and worries about leading Charley on. The guys advise him to go on the second date and stop overthinking so much.

When it’s birthday boy’s turn to make a toast, he says, “It’s good to have your friends together, but keep your enemies closer.” Craig asks if they’re enemies, so Austen reminds him he said as much to Salley. In turn, Craig accuses Austen of rooting for his downfall. And we’re off on Austen versus Craig, round 500.

Austen’s birthday dinner from hell

First, Austen brings up Craig’s drinking. Remember when Craig opened up to Austen about his drinking problem in the Bahamas? Now that Craig’s at the bars again, Austen thinks that was just a manipulation tactic. Austen emphatically insists Craig’s drinking doesn’t bother him, but thinks Craig made up a problem to avoid accountability. Austen even puts “addiction” in air quotes! Craig is flabbergasted Austen “made my drinking problem about him.” Shep tells Austen this is wrongheaded, and I have to agree.

Craig fires back with another low blow. He trashes Austen for being in the same place he was five years ago. Austen is hurt, admitting his beer company isn’t where he wants it to be. Shep pleads with them to stop, but Austen says Craig’s been a “prick” for three years.

Eventually, they break the fourth wall. Craig accuses Austen of trashing Audrey before filming, and says he’s a completely different person on camera. Austen thinks that’s rich coming from Craig, “the liar of all liars.”

When Craig complains that Austen hates him, he fires back, “Yes, I do f*cking hate you!” Whitney tells Austen to apologize, but he refuses. Craig claims he, Shep, and Whitney never screamed that they hate each other. Craig and Austen’s friendship is declared over (for the 50th time this season), and the guys agree not to order dessert.

We end with the Southern Charm midseason trailer, which shows Austen and Salley crossing lines, Venita and Craig confronting each other, and, of course, another blowout Craig and Austen fight. We’ll have to keep watching to see it all!

Southern Charm airs Wednesdays 9/8c on Bravo. Episodes can be streamed on Peacock.

In Southern Hospitality Season 4, Justin Assada is the new bad boy at Republic. At least that’s what it looks like from the trailer. There were a lot of exciting things teased in the preview. Including Michols Pẽna’s villain era, multiple Emmy Sharrett freak-outs, and trouble in paradise for Maddi Reese and Joe Bradley (aka Joey Bottles). But Republic’s new VIP host Justin definitely took center stage, and looks to be a standout of the new season. He also marked his territory as Charleston’s latest eligible bachelor. Here’s everything we know about Southern Hospitality Season 4 newbie Justin Assada so far.

Southern Hospitality Season 4 newcomer Justin Assada is a reality TV vet with a famous ex

Justin may be new to Southern Hospitality, but he’s already an experienced pro at reality TV. He made his reality TV debut on the Netflix competition show Surviving Paradise in 2023. He also appeared on Season 2 of Netflix’s dating series Perfect Match in 2024. According to an interview with MassLive, before his reality TV debut, Justin grew up in Boston and played football at Assumption University. When he was a guest on Perfect Match Season 2 co-star Harry Jowsey’s podcast, Justin said that reality TV fame, as well as moving from Boston to Los Angeles, seriously improved his dating pool.

And after his appearance on Perfect Match, Justin’s romantic life made headlines when he dated country star Maren Morris. In August 2024, Justin posted an Instagram Stories photo with the country singer while they were out on a date. Sharing a photo of Maren sitting across from him at a fancy restaurant, he wrote, “Sushi + scary movies.” This was shortly after Maren’s divorce from Ryan Hurd. Obviously, things didn’t work out between Justin and the singer. Because he is very clearly single in Southern Hospitality Season 4.

Justin admits he might be a “f*ckboy” in the Southern Hospitality Season 4 trailer

Justin makes a big impression in the Southern Hospitality Season 4 trailer. And not just because at one point he strips naked to jump in the pool along with Michols. The new host is definitely one eligible bachelor to watch. “He has some swag,” gushes co-star Lake Rucker as Justin winks at the camera.

“Everyone’s saying that I’m a f*ckboy,” Justin admits at another point in the trailer. “From one player to another…I recognize game,” says returning star Mia Alairo. Throughout the preview, Justin is shown making out with multiple women and playing some seriously steamy games. Like making Mia gasp as he licks her body!

According to his Southern Hospitality Season 4 bio, Justin’s charm quickly wins over the ladies in Charleston. But it also gets him in trouble. The bio teases, “after dropping one too many love bombs, Justin finds himself entangled in love triangles and is reminded how small Charleston really is.” Sounds juicy!

Is Justin the new Joey Bottles?

As the newest VIP host at Republic, Justin doesn’t just make waves with his dating life. According to his bio, his strong work ethic also “quickly impresses” Republic boss Leva Bonaparte. As fellow VIP host Joe starts to slack at work, it appears Justin is there to pick up his pieces. In the trailer, Lake wonders, “Is it Justy Bottles now instead of Joey Bottles?” Justin cheekily responds, “Might have to be, baby.” And when Joe pleads to Leva that he’s the face of Republic and he can’t be replaced, she fires back, “You have been replaced.” Looks like we might have a Republic rivalry on our hands!

Maybe Justin will even follow Joey Bottles’ lead with some scandalous Bravo star hookups. Only time will tell! Regardless, Southern Hospitality fans will learn much more about Justin when Season 4 premieres Wednesday, March 4 on Bravo.

Southern Hospitality is available to stream on Peacock.

Welcome back to the Southern Charm Season 11 recaps! Last week, Salley finally confessed her feelings, but Craig rejected her. Venita said I told you so, which Salley did not appreciate. Craig told the guys that Salley is a “tornado” who got in the way of him spending time with Charley. This infuriated Austen, who spilled the beans when the guys crashed Madison’s sleepover. Then Rodrigo revealed that Craig and Charley were about to go on a date. Salley declared she’s done with Craig, and warned Charley that he’s using her too.

What happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 8?

This week on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 8, “Engaged in Battle,” the group (minus Whitner) celebrates Rodrigo and Tyler’s engagement. Austen’s girlfriend Audrey comes to town, but everyone else wonders why Austen hasn’t broken up with her yet. Salley confronts Craig about rejecting her. Then she and Austen flirt up a storm … inches away from Audrey. What else happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 8, “Engaged in Battle?”

Craig insists he didn’t lead Salley on

Salley now has to deal with those chickens she bought just to spend time with Craig (and only one of them is nice to her). Meanwhile, Craig tells Madison his side of the story. As Madison predicted, Craig insists he was just being nice. He also gives context to those texts. Craig tells Madison that he politely urged Salley to leave that night. When she texted him that she should’ve stayed over, he said she could’ve, but it was just not to be rude. Once again, he says Charley is the one he really likes, and he’s looking forward to spending time with her alone.

Meanwhile, Charley meets up with Molly for arts and crafts. When Molly asks about the date, Charley cries at the thought of it upsetting Salley. Molly reminds Charley that Salley said she was fine with it, but Charley knows she didn’t mean that. Molly accuses Salley of being hypocritical about Craig. After all, if Salley is trying to stop Charley from dating Craig, then she’s doing the same thing Venita was.

Rodrigo and Tyler throw an engagement party

Rodrigo proposed to Tyler in Greece, so they’re throwing a Grecian engagement party (Angie K approves). But they’re not in a rush to get married. Instead, Rodrigo wants to focus on remodeling their kitchen … so fans on Reddit will stop making fun of it. He’s also decorating Shep’s house, which includes purchasing a giant coffee table (formerly an opium bed).

Speaking of, Shep is staying at Craig’s while he’s in between houses. Since he was in Cuba last week, Craig fills him in on the Salley situation. Shep says Salley has an “ownership thing” with Charley… like Craig used to with Austen! But he believes that Craig wasn’t trying to flirt with Salley, just being friendly.

Audrey is coming to the party, and Tyler notes that it’ll be awkward between her, Craig, and Shep. While they don’t believe the gossip about Austen coming onto other girls, Tyler and Rodrigo both think Austen needs to stop stringing Audrey along.

Austen needs to face his fears with Audrey

Speaking of Austen, this week he gets sibling tattoos with his younger sister Katie. Their matching tattoos are their late sister Kyle’s birth year and Katie’s birth year. Austen admits he was a baby about the pain, but loves that he now has a tribute to his angel sister … and his devil sister.

And that devil sister Katie gives him tough love about the Audrey situation, asking why he’s so hesitant to take a next step. She loves Audrey, and it’s unfair if Austen is leading her on. When a producer asks Austen about it, he compares it to his hesitancy over getting cats … but he took the plunge there! With Audrey, Austen says it could be the last next big step he takes in his life. He compares the state of their relationship to a meteor coming towards Earth (I’m sure Audrey is flattered). He should do something about it, but keeps putting things off. Austen admits to Katie that he needs to have a tough conversation with Audrey.

Was Venita a bad friend to Salley?

Venita grabs lunch with her mom, who roasts her about needing to find a man. Venita fills her in on the drama with Salley. When she admits that she told Salley not to come crying to her after Craig broke her heart, her mom says that was rude. She emphasizes to Venita that it’s important to be there for your friends no matter what. Venita realizes that she should’ve been more patient with Salley.

When they see each other at Rodrigo and Tyler’s party, Venita tells Salley she misses her, but it’s extremely awkward. Salley says she’s fed up with Venita, who can be a little controlling.

Does Tyler and Rodrigo’s engagement party signal the end of another relationship?

Audrey isn’t psyched to see Craig and Shep at the party. She claims they have no idea what’s going on in her and Austen’s relationship. “It makes me look like I have my head in the sand … which I don’t,” she says. Poor Audrey! She also points out that Austen forgives Craig too easily, which he admits is true. Austen tells her Craig found a new target to flip out on … Salley.

Everyone shows up for the party dressed in their best white Grecian-inspired ensembles. Including Stephen from Miss Patricia’s guy’s night. And a very pregnant Madison, who jokes her boobs are about to pop out of her low-cut mini dress. Whitney asks Madison if she’s having a gender reveal. Apparently he wasn’t paying attention to the very pink, girl-themed baby shower at his house.

Rodrigo starts to tear up seconds into his speech to Tyler. “I don’t see my life without Tyler,” he gushes in a confessional, adding, “People wait a lifetime for something like that.” Aww!! At least there’s one genuine romance on Southern Charm. Meanwhile, Shep, Madison, and Craig are shocked to see Audrey there, wondering why Austen hasn’t broken up with her yet.

Craig declares war on Austen

Throughout the night, Craig and Charley flirt while Salley avoids them. Eventually, Charley encourages Craig to talk to her. But he now sees Salley as an obstacle getting in the way of him and Charley. Yikes.

He goes over to talk to Salley while she’s sitting with Madison. Getting to the point, Salley says Craig hurt her. “Well, this is awkward as f*ck!” Madison jokes as she excuses herself. Molly asks if Craig and Salley are gonna “fingerbang it out.” Venita jeers Craig from afar.

Craig insists he didn’t intend to hurt Salley. She asks why he wrote her off, citing what Austen told her. Craig then calls Austen his ENEMY, chastising Salley for “believing a guy whose main goal in life is to tear me down.” I think that’s a little dramatic, Craig. “See how awful it is to be friends with Austen?,” he asks, accusing Austen of conspiring to come between him and Salley. Wasn’t he just accusing Salley of doing that to him and Charley?

Craig’s hurt that Salley trusted Austen over him, and says he’d never go to her enemies like that. Salley didn’t know Austen was his “enemy,” but he argues, “you know how he treats me.” Ultimately, he and Salley agree to go to each other with their issues in the future.

Austen and Salley flirt…inches away from Audrey

While Madison goes home, the (very inebriated) group takes a party bus (thanks, Shep) to the afterparty. Whitney gets on stage and plays guitar. Craig assures Charley things with Salley are settled, and she looks forward to their date.

Meanwhile, Audrey tries to say hi to Salley again, to no avail. She tells Austen Salley walked past her three times without saying a word, and is the only person that didn’t say hi to her. Austen brushes this aside and excuses himself to go talk to Rodrigo. But a beaming Salley comes up to him instead, and they hug and immediately act flirty. She tells him everything Craig said. “We don’t have a podcast anymore, I don’t give a f*ck what he thinks about me,” Austen hilariously says.

“Your girlfriend hates me,” Salley laughs. Austen says she doesn’t. Craig observes that Audrey must be angry seeing Austen and Salley “belly to belly” flirting like this. Just then, Audrey walks right by Austen and Salley to a table away from the others. Austen doesn’t even notice! When Austen finally goes to her, she says they need to talk. We don’t hear their conversation, but it sure looks like they’re fighting. And that’s where the episode ends.

Southern Charm airs 9/8c on Bravo. Episodes can be streamed on Peacock.

Is Jennifer Tilly the only reason to keep watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15? Let’s face it, the Real Housewives series is far removed from its glory days of the Dinner from Hell or the Amsterdam cast trip. Once the crown jewel of the franchise, RHOBH is now painfully boring. Even the ratings are down. However, it still gets more weekly viewers than some of the more consistently entertaining Housewives shows like Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

Week to week, viewers bemoan how dull RHOBH is and wonder why they’re still watching. The only bright spot seems to be “friend of” Jennifer Tilly. Here’s why Jennifer Tilly is the saving grace of RHOBH Season 15. And why the other Housewives need to get on her level to redeem this show.

Why Jennifer Tilly is the RHOBH Season 15 standout star

Jennifer Tilly’s natural charisma and big personality is going a long way on RHOBH Season 15. She’s so funny and entertaining, I could watch her talk to her crystals or play bumper carts for hours. Her confessional commentary on her co-stars is one of the highlights week to week. For instance, when she found out Amanda Frances was born in 1985. She quipped, “When she was struggling to come out of the womb, I was just struggling.” Or when she compared Erika Jayne to the amount of spice in a spicy margarita.

But Jennifer isn’t just comedic relief. She’s also been working overtime this season. She’s asking her castmates the questions audience members have, like Garcelle Beauvais used to. For instance, she was the one to ask Erika about her new relationship.

The Oscar nominee also brings the wealth, glamour, and enviable lifestyle we want from Real Housewives. Her outfits are always incredible. Remember when she wore a necklace considered the most important in history just for her cast photo?

Jennifer Tilly and Sutton Stracke’s conflict adds some much-needed tension to RHOBH Season 15

Another issue with RHOBH Season 15 is that it feels like the cast isn’t a real friend group. They certainly don’t seem to hang out off camera.

By contrast, Jennifer has a long-standing friendship with Sutton Stracke. And this season, she’s not afraid to call Sutton out. It started in small ways. When Sutton made a judgemental comment, Jennifer compared her to her mother Reba. And she threw shade at Sutton’s hosting skills on the trip. She also revealed that she talked to Avi, who thought he was only leaving Sutton temporarily. And that he “wasn’t sure what happened.”

In the most recent episode, Jennifer finally had enough of Sutton snapping at her. She even blamed Sutton for Garcelle leaving. This feels like the type of real conflict and tension people can have with longtime friends. That provides some much needed reality to a show that often feels overproduced.

RHOBH needs more cast members like Jennifer Tilly to redeem the show

The fact that Jennifer Tilly stands out so much from the rest is proof that modern RHOBH is missing fun, naturally entertaining personalities. These days, fans complain that the cast is too guarded and too image conscious. Of course, Jennifer has the advantage of being a friend of, so she doesn’t have to share too much. But it still feels like we know her better than, say, Kyle Richards.

The two new RHOBH Season 15 cast members do have some potential. Rachel Zoe is naturally entertaining like Jennifer. Unlike some of the Beverly Hills Housewives, she’s pretty open about her personal life, including her divorce. And it’s fun for Rachel Zoe Project fans to watch her judge her castmates’ outfits.

Then there’s Amanda. Unfortunately, she’s not super popular with viewers. Judging by social media reactions, many agree with the cast that she’s obsessed with one-upping people. However, Amanda is playing a necessary villain role this season. Almost every cast member clashes with her! It’s finally adding some much-needed conflict to a painfully boring season.

Considering the widespread fan complaints and the dwindling ratings, it’s clear that something has to change. I wouldn’t be surprised if RHOBH goes on pause, gets a cast shakeup, or even a soft reboot after this season. Hopefully, producers realize that viewers want more big personalities like Jennifer Tilly going forward.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available to stream on Peacock.

Bring back our girls, we need Bravo to start filming Real Housewives of Miami Season 8 again ASAP! While it’s not a ratings juggernaut, Real Housewives fans know that Miami is one of the most consistently entertaining cities in the franchise. And last year’s Season 7 broke the internet the best Real Housewives reunion in ages.

However, months after Season 7 wrapped, there’s been no official announcement about filming for Season 8. Nor any cast announcements, despite rumors of a shakeup. But there’s some headline-making developments in our Miami Housewives’ lives, and we need Andy and a camera! Here’s why we hope cameras will go up soon to capture the current chaos.

Real Housewives of Miami’s Alexia Nepola is reportedly dating Todd again after he dropped Bravo lawsuit

When it comes to Real Housewives marriages falling apart, Todds are the new Toms. And Todd Nepola kicked off the trend. Todd suddenly left Alexia Nepola after three years of marriage, packing his things in front of her son Frankie. But soon enough, they were on again, even as divorce proceedings went through. Then she screamed “f*ck him” at dinner and begged her friends not to let her go back to him. Then she got mad at newbie Stephanie Shojaee for mentioning him. And then he filed a lawsuit against Bravo for defamation. It was quite the rollercoaster.

However, Alexia and Todd are officially back together, and she’s wearing her wedding ring again. When Alexia posted photos from Paris over the holidays, onlookers spilled that she was secretly with Todd the whole time. This came after he dropped the Bravo lawsuit in December.

Last week, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that Alexia and Todd are on. “They are dating,” the source claimed, “They travel together and have since the divorce. They spent New Year’s together in Paris.”

While Alexia was spotted with a ring on her finger, they’re not engaged again. According to the source, “It is her old wedding ring that she simply likes wearing from time to time, especially when they are together.” The insider explained that Todd and Alexia are taking things “day by day” and are “living separately…trying to figure out their new normal.” The source continued, “They’re still navigating what their relationship looks like. Alexia is happy about it. They’re trying to turn over a new leaf, have a fresh start on things, and leave the negative in the past.” We can only imagine what Alexia’s BFF Marysol Patton has to say!

Lisa Hochstein and Jody Glidden broke up after three years

In other RHOM relationship news, Lisa Hochstein and Jody Glidden broke up after three years of dating. Jody casually revealed their split in an Instagram comment. This came as something of a surprise to RHOM fans. By the end of the season, they seemed very solid. Lisa even hinted that she hoped to get engaged soon…despite just finalizing her drawn-out divorce from Lenny Hochstein.

Lisa also won back RHOM viewers last year after a rough Season 6. And Jody was a big factor in Lisa’s (incredibly entertaining) feud with Larsa Pippen. So, it will be interesting to see where the frenemies go from here. Meanwhile, Larsa just celebrated her one-year anniversary with Jeff Colby.

Speaking of Lisa, we also still have questions about the airport incident with Julia Lemigova post-BravoCon!

Real Housewives of Miami was our Best Real Housewives Show of 2025

In addition to capturing these major life events, RHOM should start filming again soon because Real Housewives fans miss it. Much like the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, the RHOM ladies are so entertaining that cameras could be on them year round. Especially because, unlike some Real Housewives casts, these ladies actually hang out during the off season.

Last month, we gave Real Housewives of Miami the Reality Tea Award 2025 for Best Real Housewives Show of the Year. While Julia had a bad year, the rest of the cast absolutely brought their A-game. Newbie Stephanie was polarizing, but in a perfect Real Housewives material way. And Guerdy Abraira continues to be one of the most inspiring Housewives across the franchise.

Even the best Real Housewives seasons often have tiring reunions. But the RHOM Season 7 reunion gave us a historic Real Housewives bombshell and one of the most hilarious viral moments of 2025. We can’t get enough of the Miami cast. Let’s get them back on our screens ASAP!

Real Housewives of Miami can be streamed on Peacock.

Things are getting messy on Southern Charm Season 11! Last week, Craig shocked everyone at Miss Patricia’s guy’s dinner by admitting he’d get back together with Paige if she asked. He and Austen saw each other for the first time since Whitner’s party and agreed to a tentative truce. Meanwhile, Venita warned Salley that Craig would break her heart, but Salley asked to find that out for herself. Charley told her sister that she likes Craig, but is worried about Salley’s reaction. What happened this week on Southern Charm Season 11?

What happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 7?

If last week was a bit of a filler episode, this week the chickens come home to roost, literally and figuratively. Salley finally admits her feelings to Craig when they go to buy chickens, and it goes as poorly as expected. Especially since it’s right after he asked Charley out. Later on, Madison holds a slumber party for the girls in her new home while Brett and Hudson are away. After a dramatic walkout, things really get messy when the guys crash the party. Truths come out, and someone declares revenge. Here’s what happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 7, “Fowl Play.”

Craig asks Charley out

This week’s episode opens with Salley setting up her chicken coop. She admits to her friend that she decided to get chickens because Craig said he’d go with her to pick them out. Oof, these cringey scenes seem to contradict Salley’s claims about Craig on Watch What Happens Live.

While Salley gets chickens just to spend more time with Craig, he drops in on Charley’s art gallery event with his assistant Jack. Craig mentions his friend’s oyster farm, and casually asks Charley if she wants to go. She says yes. Later on, she tells her mom she’s not sure it’s a date, but her mom thinks it sounds like one. Charley doesn’t tell Salley because she’s too nervous how she’ll react.

Whitner perfectly sums up Craig and Austen’s dynamic

Austen meets up for beers with Whitner, saying it’s nice to have a guy friend not named Craig. Somewhere in Cuba, Shep asks, “What about me?” Austen still sees their guy’s dinner conversation as a non-apology, as real apologies aren’t followed by a “but.” He misses how easy and smooth their friendship used to be.

Whitner may be new to the group, but he already sees the frenemies’ dynamic perfectly. To start, he knows that Austen appreciates that it doesn’t sound like Whitner lectures him when they talk. “What I’m witnessing here is more of a rivalry than a friendship,” Whitner notes. “Austen has a bit of a victim complex, so he’s gonna feel like he’s being attacked. And Craig has a narcissistic streak in him, so he’s gonna wanna be controlling. Whether or not those two pieces fit together…to be determined.”

Rodrigo spills tea to Venita, Leva, and Molly

Venita grabs lunch with Leva, Rodrigo, and Molly. Rodrigo says that Salley stopped working out with him and Molly, and Leva jokes that it’s because she was too busy with Craig. Venita tells the group about her fight with Salley last week, and Leva shades Salley as “not a girl’s girl.”

Venita shares that she struggles with feeling abandoned by friends. It goes back to high school, when her best friend since infancy suddenly dropped her junior year. And, of course, there was the JT fiasco.

The group agrees that Craig has no intention of seriously dating Salley. Rodrigo says that Craig’s already sworn not to get involved with anyone who slept with Shep. So, Salley was always out of the running!

Salley gets a reality check

Craig and Salley buy chickens together. Salley says she’s dating with intent to marry and have kids, something she knows Craig also wants. She tells him that when she wants something, she goes for it. Then she tells him she’s caught feelings, “Like, I can date you.”

But Craig responds, “I don’t see it,” adding, “We’re just friends.” Salley asks why they hung out in the hot tub until 4 am then. Craig admits that at first he thought something might happen, but then it didn’t. “I’ve never been in this situation where a girl really thought I liked her and I didn’t,” he says in a confessional. Ouch! He adds that Salley is “reading into our interactions in a fantasy way.” Salley insists he’s been hitting on her for weeks and that she’s not delusional. They awkwardly agree to just be friends.

It’s not quite as bad as Landon’s infamous “Maybe I love you” moment with Shep. But it’s still pretty rough.

Later on, Salley accompanies Madison to her ultrasound. She wants the happily ever after that Madison has. “I’m so alone,” Salley admits, “I don’t even have anyone to drunk text.” She tells Madison about Craig’s rejection. Madison agrees that Craig led Salley on, but is probably denying it in a typically Southern, “I was just being nice!” way. “He’s clueless,” she adds. Salley references their texts, when she said she should’ve stayed the night and Craig said she could’ve. When a producer asks, she says there’s no way she could’ve misinterpreted that text, and Craig was definitely coming onto her. She also tells Madison that Venita saw it all coming.

Craig wants out of Salley’s tornado

Madison throws a sleepover for the girls while the guys go out for beers. She tells Venita about Craig rejecting Salley, and Venita can’t hide her vindicated smile. When Salley tells the girls about it, Venita blurts out a told you so. She asks why Salley didn’t call her, and Salley reminds her she said not to come crying after Craig broke her heart. Venita says she’s not mad at Salley, who says she has no reason to be. That makes Venita too upset, so she leaves the slumber party. 

Whitner mentions that Austen and Salley are like besties, which is news to Craig. Craig tells the guys he asked Charley out. He says they’ve never been able to hang out away from Salley. When Rodrigo mentions Salley’s crush, Craig wonders if he hung out with her too much. He claims the real reason for those hot tub sessions was to see Charley. Austen is offended (and possibly projecting) that Craig could disregard his friendship with Salley so easily.

When he mentions how this could tear apart Salley and Charley, Craig says that’s not his responsibility. Then he goes off on Salley. He claims that she always butted in when he tried to talk to Charley. “Salley’s chaos, man. It’s a tornado. You never know who’s gonna get sucked into it, and you never know where that tornado’s gonna head.” Austen says he doesn’t think her chaos is intentional. But Craig is over it. He’s over everything being about Salley, even his date with Charley. When Austen tries to defend Salley’s “good heart,” Craig sees it as Austen refusing to be happy for him. He dramatically storms out and Ubers home. Hey, dramatic walk outs are something he and Venita have in common!

Austen and Rodrigo gossip with the girls

Rodrigo, Austen, and Whitner crash the sleepover (did you catch Rodrigo mocking Austen’s “Madison!” when they walked in?). Can I just say, Austen putting his feet up, sipping wine, and gossiping with the girls is such a funny image. He looks so happy!

Austen thinks Craig is mad at Salley. He tells her everything Craig said- that they’re done, that Salley’s a tornado that leaves a path of destruction, and that he’s been thinking this for a long time. And that he doesn’t think Charley can be the person she wants to be when Salley’s around. Salley’s pissed and brings up the texts. Then Rodrigo drops that Craig asked Charley out. Molly’s reaction face is incredible.

Salley claims Craig is manipulating both her and Charley. She claims it will take Charley longer to realize that, but she will eventually. “I wish he was here right now so I could slap him across the face,” Salley rants. She promises, “I’ll show him a f*cking tornado.” Charley looks scared, and that’s where we leave off this week.

Southern Charm airs Wednesdays 9/8c on Bravo. It can be streamed on Peacock.

Awards season is well underway, as the Golden Globes 2026 aired last night. And you know what that means…plenty of dazzling fashions for us to judge! Hosted by Nikki Glaser, the night’s big awards winners included One Battle After Another, Adolescence, KPop Demon Hunters, and Sinners. But who won the fashion portion of the night on the red carpet? Here are our picks for the Golden Globes 2026 best dressed stars. Let us know what you think of our best dressed list in the comments!

These celebrities were the best dressed stars on the Golden Globes 2026 red carpet

There was a lot to discuss from the Golden Globes 2026 red carpet. For instance, all eyes were on Heated Rivalry stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie as they made their big Hollywood red carpet debut. Sinners stars Wunmi Mosaku and Hailee Steinfeld both showed off their baby bumps. And Ariana Grande finally left Glinda behind and returned to her signature high ponytail hairstyle.

The Golden Globes 2026 red carpet also featured a number of reality TV stars. Fresh off The Traitors Season 4 premiere, Love Island alum Maura Higgins looked like a movie star in a sleek black dress, elaborate metallic shawl, and chic bob. Last year’s The Traitors breakout Dylan Efron also looked handsome as ever. But which reality TV star made our best dressed list alongside some of Hollywood’s biggest names?

Olandria Carthen

Olandria Carthen continues her incredible style streak after we gave her the Reality Tea Award for Reality TV Fashion Icon of the Year! The Love Island USA alum wore a custom green gown by Christian Siriano. Green was a popular color on the red carpet this year, with Best Actress winner Rose Byrne and The Studio star Chase Sui Wonders rocking similar shades. But Olandria had our favorite gown of the bunch. Between the mermaid gown, gorgeous necklace, and elegant low chignon, Olandria looked just like a classic Hollywood movie star.

Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson is on a hot streak lately thanks to career-best reviews for Song Sung Blue. But her Golden Globes 2026 red carpet look is a reminder that she’s been Hollywood royalty from birth, and a style icon since Almost Famous.

Photos almost can’t do this Armani Prive gown justice. The tiny crystal embedded throughout the pewter fringe are divine. The design manages to be both boho chic and classic Hollywood glam. With such a dazzling dress, Kate wisely kept her hair and accessories simple, letting the gown take center stage. I also love how the diamond earrings mirror the sparkling fringe on her gown.

Teyana Taylor

Teyana Taylor began her Best Supporting Actress acceptance speech by asking the audience if they liked her “party in the back.” Truly, a bejeweled bow thong detail with a peekaboo back is not something you see at every Golden Globes. But Teyana made it work!

The black Schiaparelli gown was a structural marvel. Note the dramatic scarf that also serves as the dress’ train. The front of the dress features glamorous draping that forms right to her body, while the cut-out details show some skin. It’s an unforgettable gown that manages to be both daring and sophisticated. Also, her emotional acceptance speech was the best of the night!

Wunmi Mosaku

Sinners breakout star Wunmi Mosaku announced her pregnancy in the chicest way with this stunning Golden Globes 2026 red carpet look. On a red carpet where lots of stars (too many, in my honest opinion) opted for neutrals, Wunmi stood out in a bright sunshine yellow gown. In addition to the radiant color, the Matthew Weisman Collection design also featured goddess-like draping. She paired the gown with a gorgeous sculpted hairstyle and simple earrings. And, as a possible nod to her hit movie, she also rocked a vampy red manicure.

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence definitely wore one of social media’s favorite Golden Globes 2026 red carpet dresses, and with good reason. This sheer Givenchy gown is one of the movie star’s best looks in years. The floral dress is a more bohemian style than the actress usually goes for, but it really works for her.

Naturally, the famous Bravo superfan was asked what reality shows she’s watching. Jennifer said she’s looking forward to Rachel Zoe on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. We’re sure Rachel would gush over this Golden Globes 2026 look … and as Jennifer knows, that’s one of the highest compliments!
