RHOP: Ugly Dresses, A Baby Bump, And A Marriage

August 12, 2018 by tamaratattles 77 Comments

I wasn’t planning on doing two posts about Potomac today but there has been all sorts of news today. At least it is news to me since I don’t pay much attention to this show. I had no idea that Monique was pregnant. She’s got quite the baby bump and it wasn’t mentioned on the show? Did you guys know about this?

The other Potomac news today is that Candiace got married yesterday in front of 260 of her closest friends at Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C.  Again, it didn’t seem like she was anywhere near finished with her wedding plans when the season ended and I just assumed it would be on next season.  When the heck did filming end? 

But what really pushed me to make this post instead of including all of this in my reunion recap later tonight, I think these dresses need our immediate attention. They look ridiculous. They really do. But I think the problem is that there is no theme or color restriction. If you look at each dress individually, most of them are okay. But together, it’s a hot mess.

What do y’all think of these looks? And Robyn’s hair?

    Whoever cut and styled Robyn’s hair must really hate her.
    The makeup artist agrees with the hair stylist.

      I believe she’s wearing a wig. That’s not her hair at the reunion. It’s too thick and the top and front looks like a wig. I believe she did get a haircut when she revealed it on instagram. That cut looked more natural. This cut does not. I think that’s why she’s getting a lot of negative comments about it.

    I like Monique’s look individually and she looks gorgeous pregnant and all!

    They’ve already resumed filming a week or 2 ago. Candiace and Gizelle were seen filming together (video is on twitter)

    -Candiace is too petite for the overpowering Big Bird disaster.
    – Monique’s dress doesn’t do her bump body any favors.
    All the dresses except Karen’s look like prom dress rejects from the bargain bin. These ladies are all beautiful- what happened here with the gowns??

    I knew about Monique’s pregnancy but only because I have no life!! Was scanning for new about Dennis (what I was looking for -not sure. What is there to say?) and saw news of Candace (sp?) Who cares? I do like this show but Robyn’s hair? No bueno. I once cut my hair extremely short ’80’s. It looked awful. She is the most beautiful woman the hair not so good though. Glad you put up this post-my DVR was not set to record it! Thanks TT!!

    Robyn is the best dressed by a long shot imo but even then, there’s something missing. Maybe if the dress and lip were a different colour the look would be a bit more “tah-dah!” and a bit less “hey, let me sing you a song!”

      Lol, I wish I had a reason why I don’t care for Robyn. I think maybe I find her personality changes a lot, and it comes across to me as inauthentic and tends to go with Gizelle’s.
      I wish she would lead and not follow.
      This many seasons in, I expect more confidence.
      I think maybe also her statements last reunion that we heard when she didn’t realize it, was just quite a different person than she shows.
      Lol, guess I have reasons why I don’t care for her.
      I’m not expecting a very exciting reunion. The season was a bit boring, and I think nothing that exciting to go over again.

    I’m glad that you posted about Candace’s wedding. I had asked about it last week. I was wondering if it ever took place…and you have answered. 😊They had already been engaged before she joined the show, so I was thinking most of the planning had been completed and some was for a storyline.

    Yes, the dresses were pretty bad! I thought Ashley looked sweet in hers, and Karen’s looked fine from the front, but that mess in the back didn’t make sense. Robin’s dress looked very matronly to me, despite the tight-fitting skirt, and I can’t decide if I like her new hairdo or not. Actually, I think I do like the actual haircut, although it makes Robyn look a little masculine. The problem is with the make-up – those purple lips are horrible on her and make her look hard. She’s a beautiful woman, but I think she needs something a little softer that frames her face.

    Robin’s hair looks horrible. Very few women can pull off short hair and she is not one of them. I agree with a previous commenter – a darker shade would have been the way to go.

    Candice and Gizelle’s dresses look like they came from this cheap store called Deb.

    I actually think Monique, Ashely, and Robin’s dresses are decent and individually would be quite nice.

    That leaves Karen, who is a vow renewal dress, and that is a wrap.

    Robyn’s hair would have looked much better if they didn’t go so heavy on the makeup! It’s one or the other both not both. The dress would be nice if she was standing next to Juan in black tie.
    Karen- a hot mess from head to toe. Nuff said.
    Monique- happy for the baby bump, but the cut out gown was not the way to showcase her blessing.
    Candiece is way to small to be wearing that much material.
    Lastly
    Giselle- beautiful woman, just missed the mark with the green shade of dress but I see what stylist was going for.
    Lastly, Ashley- I vote best styled all around. Best make up, best hair( love she embraces her natural hair and wears it so well, and the lovely- again, if she was standing alongside Michael in black tux, would have been a great look!
    ANDY- meh. Looks like a rumpled mess. Like a kindergartener at graduation who’s parents allowed him to pick his own wardrobe. Go figure

    I just keep hearing Dwight say “how dreadful” when I look at the group photo. Gizelle and Candiace’s dresses don’t fit properly. Candiace has over accessorized in addition to being swallowed by her look. Monique is hands down the worst…it’s too much she should have gone for simpler hair and earrings and the cut outs (?)…just no! Ashley and Robyn are dressed as mothers of the bride and it appears Karen is the bride (I think she’s wearing a wedding dress). This has got to be one of the worst dressed reunions in housewives history, they needed a theme and better stylists.

    PS I like Robyn’s hair but I think she needs to darken her hair a shade or get lowlights for the cut to have it’s desired effect.

    Now, about the HAIR:

    Candiace—too much pageant hair / extensions
    Monique—is her hair wrapped in a pineapple?
    Karen—worst hair ever (err, wigs!)
    Gizelle— color is way too light! I Dream of Jeannie esque.
    Ashley—love she wears her hair natural and all curly!
    Robyn—color is too light and the eye makeup combo is a huge don’t. More Halle Berry, less Lucy looking (from the front).

    Monique was on WWHL about a month ago and they discussed her pregnancy. The reunion looks are awful across the board but does anyone remember LAST YEAR’S reunion looks? It was the total opposite. I thought each of them looked the best they have ever looked- particularly hair and makeup. It was downhill from there, I guess.

    I watched some of the preview clips on the Bravo site, and when the camera shows head-shots when each person is talking, Ashley looks wonderful. The top of her dress is delicate and pretty, and I love her hair natural like that. Karen up close is just too much boobs. I don’t like Robyn’s hair at all–doesn’t flatter her. And I don’t like Gizelle’s hair pulled back like that, or the green color of her dress.

They should be arrested for overdoing it at the dress barn and hauled off to the county courthouse and placed under the jail. Candace’s dress gave me a migraine, Monique, bless her heart is ignoring that sweet baby yelling to be set free from bondage, Karen’s dress should win an award for holding up them boobs while dragging a king size bed ruffle in the rear, Gizelle is about 4 minutes from hanging herself with that dreadful green garb, and Robyn is giving me Marilyn Lawnmo while listening to purple rain in her spare time. This is an epic fail for reunion wear. Oh, and Andy’s dress was business casual for fifth Sunday.

    Hi TT. Longtrime reader, first time poster. Just wanted to give a little clarification for you. Filming for RHOP ended around Oct/Nov last year. They have a bit of a longer gap between filming and transmission than the others for some reason. Therefore a lot of the wedding plan will have been done after and Monique wouldn’t have been pregnant during filming. In fact, if you’re getting more into RHOP, I’d get a good source now since they’re already filming S4!!

    Hi Ms Tamaratattles, I couldn’t agree with you more. The dresses (some of them) individually were ok but together yep it was a hot mess. As for Robyn’s Woody Wood Pecker’s hairdo, it’s a hair don’t. The make up she was rocking was anything but good. That dreadful green dress that Gizelle was wearing it too was a miss, as well as the pooparella dress that Karen was rockin’. That yellow frills was too much dress on Candiace was giving me grandma kitchen curtains tease. I dislike any pregnant woman in too tight clothes no Mama you missed too. Ashley and Robyn I could work with their dresses so I’ll give them a pass. These women either get the hair wrong or the outfits and tonight it was a great combination of both.

    They finished filming this season in October so Monique wouldn’t have been pregnant at that time. I don’t mind Robin’s hair, she needs to take some off of the top and the makeup makes her look so old. Out of the dresses, Ashley and Robin’s dresses were the best. I am not surprised that Gizelle wasn’t invited to the wedding, among the girls, she and Candiace got along the least.

    Ok I liked most of the dresses except2.
    Gizzel was horrible no woman should cut up their mid section that was. It.makes you look like you have 2 stomachs like mine. And her ratings didn’t match it at all or go with her hair style. And that is very sad because to me outside she is beautiful.
    Second. Robins dress was pretty but something ive seen many times in design games. It looked messy with her hair and makeup. That lipstick was a non starter
    Big Bird (can’t remember her name), was reminisce of a Kenya More dress. Monques looked like a dynasty special dress lol ..
    I liked Karen and Ashleys. But Karen could have lost some of her bustle I think. It looked ridiculous.
    I loved that Gizzel got up to comfort Karen and give her warm words. I think she is a lot stirrer but has a good heart.
    A week is too soon for Karen to be made to do a reality show.imo
