Braunwyn Windham-Burke's 42nd Birthday Party Featured Housewives, a Stripper Pole, and Shady Moments

Past and present Housewives attended the RHOC newbie's over-the-top affair.

By Laura Rosenfeld

Braunwyn Windham-Burke goes big with everything that she does, so it's no surprise that her 42nd birthday party was absolutely amazing.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Peacock and the Bravo App.

The Real Housewives of Orange County newcomer kicked off her big day by sharing a photo of herself in — what else — her birthday suit. Braunwyn posted a pic on Instagram on December 7 that showed her posing mostly in the nude, with the exception of some panties and an X on each breast. Braunwyn's husband, Sean Burke, can also be seen posing with her. As if it wasn't already sultry enough, there's also a red filter over the photo to make it that much sexier.

That pic certainly set the stage for what turned out to be an unforgettable fête. Kelly Dodd and Emily Simpson both came out to help Braunwyn ring in the big 4-2. If you scroll through the collection of photos in the below Instagram post, you'll see that Kelly and Braunwyn also had a little bit of fun with a couple of singing bowls, referencing that moment between Kelly and Shannon Storms Beador during the ladies' trip to Miraval in Arizona earlier this season of RHOC.

Kelly and Emily weren't the only familiar OC faces at Braunwyn's party. RHOC alum Meghan King Edmonds also had a blast at the "over-the-top celebration for this one-of-a-kind woman," she shared in her Instagram Story.

Braunwyn's party became a bicoastal affair when The Real Housewives of New York City's Barbara Kavovit turned up to get turnt up. Barbara had "so much fun celebrating" Braunwyn, she gushed in her Instagram Story.

The evening included your typical birthday party essentials like a stellar cake and, you know, a stripper pole, which Emily (or should we say "#funemily," as Braunwyn put it) rocked after just having hip replacement surgery in October.

We don't know how Braunwyn could possibly top this for next year's birthday party, but we're sure she'll find a way.
