Ariana Madix has mastered the art of the revenge dress.
On April 3, Bravo shared a glimpse of the upcoming Vanderpump Rules reunion on Instagram—and Madix was dressed to kill. The reality star arrived at the taping in a red cutout Mônot dress that left her torso nearly completely exposed apart from well-placed bands across her chest and waist. Madix paired the sexy ensemble with a sleek blonde lob and dewy makeup look. Tom Sandoval who?!
“Revenge red with popping abs I’m DEAD!!!????,” one user commented on the photo, which was taken for Bravo by Nicole Weingart. Another fan quoted “Vigilante Shit” by Taylor Swift, writing, “Lately she’s been dressing for revenge ????.”
Back in March, the Vanderpump Rules fandom was shaken to its core after news broke that Sandoval had been cheating on Madix, his girlfriend of nine years, with their costar Raquel Leviss. You can read a complete breakdown of the drama here, but let’s just say it hasn’t been pretty. As season 10 continues to air on Bravo and Peacock, Madix, Sandoval, Leviss, and other members of the cast sat down for a tell-all reunion special that will presumably air sometime after the finale. You can see all the looks on BravoTV.com, including Leviss’s little light blue silk number.
Directly following the taping on March 23, Sandoval and Leviss were photographed having dinner together. “I don’t know what they do,” Ariana Madix recently replied when asked about the photos. “At this point, I don’t care about anything that either of them does.” A few days later on March 28, Madix leaned into the scandal with some new merch on her Official Team Ariana Store. My particular favorite item is the “It’s Not Me, It’s You” hoodie.
