Whitney’s Mom: A True Southern Belle

Patricia Altschul does everything with style, and her recent trip to India is no exception. Yes, earlier this month the elegant mother of Southern Charm's Whitney Sudler-Smith jetted off to India for an extravagant vacation, and she has the jaw-droppingly gorgeous Insta pics to prove it.

How to Watch

Watch Southern Charm on Bravo Thursdays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

For starters, Patricia's colorful airplane ensemble was on point.

We wonder if Patricia brought any of these home to Charleston with her?

Ever the animal lover, Patricia of course encountered several furry friends during her time in India.
