So Many Celebs Have Appeared on RHOBH Over the Years: Here Are Some of Our Favorites
Rappers, Oscar winners, business moguls, and more have chatted with the ladies of Beverly Hills over the years.
The ladies of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are wealthy and influential, so it should come as no surprise they have some celebrity friends. Still, it's thrilling when some of the big-name celebs they regularly rub elbows with appear on the show! Sometimes, it even leads to some of the most talked-about moments of a season (we can't forget Dorit Kemsley proclaiming every item Jamie Lee Curtis showed her as "so chic," for example).
On Season 13, airing Wednesdays at 8/9c on Bravo, there are plenty of fun appearances from familiar faces to the franchise. To celebrate those, let's take a look back and the most memorable and surprising guest appearances through the years on RHOBH.
Jamie Lee Curtis
Kyle Richards and the iconic actress trace their friendship back to 1978 when 7-year-old Kyle played Jamie’s daughter in the original Halloween. Their sweet connection has only grown stronger through the years.
“She is so down-to-earth and kind-hearted and thoughtful,” Kyle gushed in Season 12.
Curtis made a quick cameo in Season 4, but it wasn’t until Season 12 that she wowed the ladies at a luncheon to promote her charity, My Hand in Yours. Dubbed “Auntie Jamie” by the cast, she later popped into Part 1 of the Season 12 reunion, where Andy Cohen declared her “an honorary Housewife.”
Kris Jenner
Kyle’s road to success had exciting beginnings. Not only was she a ‘70s child actress, but she and Kris Jenner go back “forever … she knew my mom, and so she'll talk about my mom, and she’s just a lot of fun," she told The Edge (via the Daily Dish).
The Kardashian/Jenner matriarch has made several appearances on the show to support Kyle’s fundraising events for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Though Kris said she likes like to go on RHOBH “once in a while and be with my friend Kyle Richards,” she's previously put to rest longtime rumors of her joining the franchise on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Paris and Nicky Hilton
Mom Kathy Hilton followed in the footsteps of her two sisters, Kim and Kyle, and joined the cast for the 2021 season. But even before she was an official Housewife, her daughters, Paris and Nicky, made cameos at fundraising events to support their Aunt Kyle, notably her fashion show that kicked off Season 10.
Longtime viewers also might remember that Nicky’s wedding caused some waves in the RHOBH-verse, thanks to a behind-the-scenes business feud.
Wilson Phillips
The Housewives have also rubbed elbows with A-list musicians. For example, the band Wilson Phillips made a celeb cameo as they performed in Kyle Richard’s backyard in Season 10.
Singer Carnie Wilson is the daughter of Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson, and she and Kyle are friends (naturally).

Carnie actually first appeared on the show during a cake tasting for her business, Love Bites, hosted by Kyle in Season 7.
David Foster
It seems like ages ago in RHOBH time, but former cast member Yolanda Hadid was once married to legendary music producer and songwriter David Foster, who appeared in several extra glamorous scenes, during her time on the show.
The composer famously wrote “I Will Remember You” by Earth, Wind, and Fire, the theme song to the movie St. Elmo’s Fire, among many other songs.
Babyface
Credit goes to Yolanda's then-husband David Foster for the Babyface cameos on RHOBH; the two are longtime friends and musical collaborators.
In a franchise known for cringe-worthy moments, the R&B singer-songwriter endured a memorable one: While at a dinner party, one of the 'Wives told the musician that the engagement ring he gave to his wife was too small.
Andrea Bocelli
While all of the David Foster-connected cameos have been incredible, this is perhaps the crème de la crème. None other than Andrea Bocelli serenaded the lucky ladies with the song “Ava Maria” at a dinner party hosted by Yolanda in Season 6.
The song happened to be Kyle’s mother’s favorite before she passed, so it’s no surprise the Italian tenor’s otherworldly vocals inspired Kyle to reconcile with her sister Kim.
Kelsey Grammer
Longtime fans will remember the Frasier star was married to one of the original cast members, Camille Grammer.
Their tumultuous divorce was a memorable part of the inaugural season — and although Kelsey Grammer kept a low profile on the show, viewers did catch glimpses of him in the first few episodes.
A memorable feud also erupted between Kyle and Camille over comments Kyle allegedly made about Camille's worth without Kelsey.
