‘RHOBH’ Takes Over NYFW

Never has East Coast meets West Coast looked so chic.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards debuted her first Fashion Week runway show for new resort wear brand, Kyle + Shahida, with design partner Shahida Clayton. The spring 2020 collection stunned with mesmerizing nautical details, silks, and above all, effortless style.

The core cast of RHOBH walked the runway, along with show guest star and Richards’ close friend, Faye Resnick. The luxe ladies of RHOBH strutted intermittently between models in outfits that easily could exist in their Bravo wardrobes. Richards stayed true to her friends and castmates’ individual styles with each ensemble pairing.

The strikingly gorgeous Erika Girardi’s long button up printed top with wide legged red pants had a laidback streetwear-meets-oceanside resort flair, characteristic for the regal Girardi.

An expecting (and barely showing!) petite Teddi Mellencamp donned a lingerie-inspired nude bodysuit under a flowing floral kimono.

Fan favorite goddess Lisa Rinna, rocking a long ponytail, similarly layered a black lace-up bodysuit with a fuschia tiger kimono, adding a shimmy at the end of the catwalk. Rinna’s two daughters, A-list IMG models Delilah Belle and Amelia Gray Hamlin, cheered from the front row.

Dorit Kemsley looked characteristically fierce in standout red leather paperbag waist pants, black crop top, and blazer, giving a smoldering stare down the runway.

The lovely Denise Richards donned a seductive black lace bodysuit and fitted black pants, topped off with a black floral robe.

Richards’ runway showcase was also a family affair, with daughters Sophia and Alexia Umansky modeling ruffled styles in red and golden yellow while nieces Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton Rothschild applauded from the front row. New season 10 costars actress Garcelle Beauvais and party planner Sutton Stracke were also in attendance, heading backstage after the show wrapped.

The Kyle + Shahida collection no doubt fused Clayton’s expertise in resortwear with Richards’ years of retail experience. The thoughtfully cohesive collection moved beautifully between patterns and colors, making every outfit an immediate closet-friendly favorite.

The best part: every French Riviera-ready look is available at a shockingly prime price point. A shell embellished statement dress that wowed on the runway can be brought home for $375, and a purple v-neck kaftan dress retails for $450. The “see now, buy now” business model for the show prompted guests to purchase the runway styles online, and there’s no question that most did. As Kyle + Shahida moves to wholesale buying market Coterie this week, we can expect to see many of their styles at boutiques across the nation.

The momentous premiere Fashion Week showcase, however ,was not lost on Richards, who tearfully walked arm in arm with Clayton as the crowd rose for a standing ovation. Their successful runway show is just yet another success for the multi-hyphenate businesswoman Richards, and her passionate dedication to the Kyle + Shahida brand was evident and moving.

Kyle + Shahida fills a gap in all of our closets, its stunning prints sweeping us away to fantasies of Mediterranean yacht vacations and, of course, Beverly Hills. We can’t want to see the collection featured on next season, with styles as ageless and glamorous as the cast themselves.
