Velvet, Cutouts, & Plenty of Sparkle: See the Glamorous Southern Charm Season 9 Reunion Looks
The Charleston crew revealed the surprising inspiration behind their sexy, sophisticated Season 9 reunion outfits.
Season 9 of Southern Charm has brought a whole lot of drama, with shocking allegations and relationships that have faced some serious tests.
To dish about all that's gone down this season, the Charm-ers, including Venita Aspen, Leva Bonaparte, Craig Conover, Olivia Flowers, Taylor Ann Green, Austen Kroll, Madison LeCroy, Rod Razavi, Rodrigo Reyes, Shep Rose, and Jarrett "JT"Thomas, all gathered at the Season 9 reunion — in stunning style, of course.
For the occasion, which took place on a gorgeous and swanky set with beautiful dark accents and furnishings, the men turned up the fashion heat in suits that gave all the James Bond vibes. We not only saw some exquisite tailoring across pleated slacks and sleek dinner jackets, but dramatic touches of velvet and unique accessories.
As for the ladies, their style sensibilities were on full display, with gorgeous gowns and flirty frocks that gave the perfect mix of playful and sultry. We not only spotted lots of sparkle by way of sexy sheaths and elegant jewelry, but were equally impressed with sky-high heels and glittering accessories. What's more, the gals turned up the heat with their glam, with everything from sexy-messy updos to fun, tousled ponytails to beautiful flowing curls.
We were frankly obsessed with some of the fashion details we gathered from the cast. Madison told BravoTV.com she channeled Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe for her show-stopping look, and Taylor referenced Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1850 novel The Scarlet Letter with her crimson-colored frock, seemingly a direct response to this season's buzzed-about drama.
