The OG of the series, Kyle, wore a L’Agence dress and Saint Laurent shoes, with makeup by Karina Morales and hair from Chris Russell.
Loading ...Backstage, Kyle admitted that her dress was a “last-minute” decision.
“It’s very clean, slick, sophisticated, and chic,” she explained. “I don’t really like frills and stuff, so it’s kind of hard for me to find dresses for these reunions,” she explained. “I look back at some of [the reunion dresses] I’ve worn over the years, and I hate them—so embarrassing. But today I was like, ‘I really like this dress.’ I don’t know if it’s very reunion-y, but I don’t need to look like a housewife.”

Erika opted for a black lace number by Jagne and Christian Louboutin shoes. Her jewels were created by XIV Karats, and she was styled by Morgan Pinney Harwood.
With makeup from Damien Diaz and hair done by Scott King, Erika said she was “really thrilled” by her “sexy and pretty” look.
“My go-to recipe always starts with having a custom dress made to fit my body perfectly, because when the silhouette is tailored exactly right, everything else falls into place,” she shared in an email. “From there, we built a beauty direction that felt elevated yet effortless, leaning into a slightly runway/editorial energy with hair that was polished but soft so it moved naturally and never felt overworked.”
“The makeup followed the same philosophy, with dreamy, diffused eye tones that create softness, balanced by my signature high-shine glossy Erika Jayne lip that keeps the whole look modern and unmistakably me,” she added.

Roberto Cavalli designed Dorit’s dress, and Aquazzura created her shoes.
“It’s vintage Cavalli,” Dorit, who had makeup from Steven Tabimba and hair by Hayley Heckmann, explained. “We’re in Beverly Hills on Rodeo Drive. To me, it’s fashion, it’s fabulous.”

Boz stunned in a Mimmy Yeboah dress, Jessica Rich shoes, and Shop Khoi jewels.
With Tyshala Wright doing her makeup and Jadah Blue doing her hair, Boz shared that making and shipping her look was a challenge.
“It’s couture, made custom in Ghana by Mimmy Yeboah. It takes many people, I think there were six beaders on this dress, it takes many hours, and it was flown here by hand in its own seat so I could wear it today,” she explained.
“My look is a love letter to Ghana: Its richness, its craftsmanship, and its beauty,” she gushed. “Ghanaian designer Mimmy Yeboah created this couture gown in a deep cocoa tone as a nod to Ghana being one of the world’s leading exporters of cocoa (used by some of the largest chocolatiers globally). I loved the drama of the silhouette, especially the sculptural sleeves and the intricate tonal hand beading, which took six people weeks to complete. And the fact that this 74 pound dress was flown by hand from Ghana to Los Angeles made it feel even more like I was wearing home.”
Boz also noted that her gold earrings honored Ghana’s history as the Gold Coast.

Sutton wore a Pol’ Atteu gown, Dolce and Gabbana shoes, and jewels from Kat McCall Design and SWD Jewelry. Meanwhile, Bryan Mendez took care of glam, and Melissa Brown Arevalo did her hair.
Channeling an “ethereal princess” with “calm presence,” Sutton explained. “I love that my dress is upcycled from another dress, so that is very exciting for me. It’s in my wheelhouse for what I do, my business, so that was fun to work with the designer on that.”

Newbie Amanda made her reunion debut in a Maticevski dress and Manolo Blahnik shoes. She also sported Cartier bracelets and jewelry from Van Clef.
“The vibe is myself,” Amanda explained, giving a nod to her “boss bride” era with makeup from Anais Cordova and hair from Jeff Valladares.

“Friend” Kathy donned a dress from The Vampire’s Wife and shoes from Gianvito Rossi. Her jewelry was from her own collab, Kathy Hilton x Anna Zuckerman, and Pamela Brogardi did her makeup and hair.
“I am going for something that’s shiny and happy,” she said. “I wanted to wear something I could sit in and be comfortable. Comfort comes first.”

Finally, Jennifer was featured in a dress with her face on it, made custom by Balmain.
With jewelry from Bulgari and Deco, and shoes from Giuseppe Zanotti, Jennifer had makeup done by Rob Rumsey and hair from Johnny Stuntz.
“I’m wearing a beautiful Balmain dress made specifically for me, and it has my face on the front of it in beads—in millions and millions of beads,” she shared. “The dress weighs about 30 pounds.”
“I can’t really sit in it, but it looks good standing up,” she continued. “The vibe is going to be incredibly uncomfortable! Rob [Rumsey] did my makeup to look like the front of the dress, so I match, and I’m going with a big ’70s hairdo.”
