Erika Girardi and Lisa Rinna Just Made RHOBH Fashion History
According to Lisa Rinna, this has "never happened" before.
If their wardrobe choices are an indicator, Erika Girardi and Lisa Rinna are closer than ever this season. Not only did The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills friends end up coincidentally rocking very similar metallic puff sleeve dresses for their Season 10 looks, but at Erika's astrology reading dinner, the dynamic duo pulled off what might just be a fashion first in RHOBH history.
In the May 20 episode, when Erika went to welcome Lisa, Dorit Kemsley, and Garcelle Beauvais into her home, she was met with a surprise. Lisa was wearing the exact same pink blazer minidress as hostess Erika. That's right, Erika and Lisa had on the same outfit at the same time in the same place.
To be honest, we totally get why both ladies went for this frock. With its bright pink color scheme, fun pattern, and flirty neckline, the $450 Rotate dress is sexy, playful, and sophisticated all at the same time — and it's most definitely a great pick for a fun dinner party in an extravagant Hollywood manse.
Naturally, the ladies all found this fashion incident hilarious. (What else could you do do but laugh at something like this?) Lisa was so shocked she ran in the opposite direction from Erika. "That's never happened," she belted out. After the initial shock, Erika hugged Lisa and said, "We look amazing."
Both Lisa and Erika also topped the pink blazer dresses with ponytails. In fact, the only major difference between their ensembles were their shoes. Erika paired the dress with white pumps while Lisa opted for satin pink pumps.
While this is the first time the ladies have accidentally been caught in the exact same ensemble, the stylish duo has a long history of taking a shine to similar pieces. As Lisa recalled during the episode, she and Erika "have worn the same pair of shoes" in the past. (Both ladies wore gold Louis Vuitton pumps at the Season 7 reunion.) And Lisa even dressed up as Erika's alter-ego, Erika Jayne, for Halloween in 2018.
Lisa and Erika weren't the only ones thinking pink for the evening. Garcelle also showed up in a fuchsia velvet blazer dress, which she accessorized with thigh-high purple boots and glitzy hair pins.
Noted: Blazer dresses are very in right now.
