Shereé Whitfield Claps Back at Accusations She Wears Fake Designer Clothes
After The Real Housewives of Dubai's Lesa Milan gave Shereé Whitfield some shade at BravoCon 2023, Shereé issued a stylish reply.
Shereé Whitfield is famously un-checkable, boo, and she wasn't about to get checked at BravoCon 2023. In the clip above, you can catch some action from BravoCon Live: The Reading Room. When a Real Housewives of Dubai cast member had some shady things to say about Shereé's wardrobe, Shereé had plenty of shade to give back.
To be fair, Lesa Milan was led directly into the shady moment when she was asked to answer this question: "Who's most likely to have fake designer duds in their closet?" However, when she singled out The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member, jaws dropped to the floor.
At first, Lesa demurred, saying, "This is bad!" But then, she said: "I'm gonna say Shereé'." The audience went wild as the She by Shereé' designer stood up from her seat to show off her stunning white dress — and namecheck its very non-fake label.
Shereé Whitfield defends her Alexander McQueen dress
After Shereé pointed to her dress and declared: "It's Alexander McQueen," Lesa took the shade one step further. "Alexander McQueen, or Alexander Shein?" she teased. Kenya Moore, who was also onstage, had to hand it to Lesa. "That was top-tier shade," she said.
Andy asked Shereé whether she had a response, and the designer said: "Everything that I have going, I have in my closet, and I have all my receipts." Pointing to Lesa's look, she declared: "That looks cheap."
The shade didn't stay in Las Vegas. On November 8, Shereé shared an Instagram photo that showed her in the Alexander McQueen look at the center of the shady controversy.
In her caption, the Atlanta entrepreneur wrote: "Of course [you] wouldn’t know the real from the fake when [you] can’t see straight." She went on to list all the designers behind every component of her look, which included a heel from Bottega Veneta and a sandal by Christian Louboutin (more on that later).
She also wore earrings by Schiaparelli and a cuff by Alexis Bittar. Among her many hashtags was one that spelled out: Respect the OG.
In the comments, Bravolebrities weighed in, offering decidedly non-shady takes on Shereé's look. "Stunning Queen!!" Margaret Josephs wrote. "The OG," Tamra Judge piped in.
As for that one heel and one sandal combo referenced above, Shereé had an injured foot during BravoCon 2023. "I actually got into a little altercation with a golf cart," the mom of three shared during "The Reading Room," before revealing which body part she injured. "I hurt my toe," she said.
