Melissa's glittery blue gown from the Season 13 Reunion
For the Season 13 Reunion, Melissa opted for a royal blue, sequined mermaid-style gown with a deep plunging neckline and a dramatic train. She accessorized with shoes by Stuart Weitzman and jewelry by Marvelous. Her sleek hair, designed by Erickson Arrunategui (@erickinvisible), was pulled up in a high bun and her earth-tone makeup was done by Alex Natoli (@glambyalexnatoli)
Melissa's Season 12 Reunion gold cutout minidress
For Season 12, the ladies took a shine to metallics and dressed like golden goddesses. Melissa’s asymmetrical Bronx and Banco number featured a dramatic side cutout, a slanted hemline, and chain link embellishments. (It’s not the first time Melissa has donned picks from the designer, and she regularly attends their fashion week presentations.)
She paired the look with strappy gold Schutz stiletto sandals that tied at the ankles and added gold bangles, rings, and hoop earrings to the look for good measure. Her makeup, by Kasey Adam Spickard, incorporated her go-to smoky brown eyeshadow look and nude lip color, while her hair was blown straight with a center part by Nathan Juergensen.
Melissa's see-through gown from the Season 11 Reunion
In Season 11, the RHONJ cast channeled their angelic sides with an all-white dress code. Melissa understood the assignment, taking the stage in a floor-skimming see-through strapless number with a sweetheart neckline. The Ryan Patros Official featured a bodysuit underneath an embellished sheer overlay.
Strappy nude Giuseppe Zanotti sandals and sparkling jewelry from Nicole Rose Kopelman further elevated the look. Hairstylist Julius Michael gave her a side-swept hairstyle with loose waves, and makeup artist George Miguel was in charge of her glowing glam.
Melissa's custom jumpsuit from the Season 10 Reunion
The “shimmer and shine” themed Season 10 sit-down lived up to its moniker as the ladies dazzled in glimmering attire. Melissa’s pick was unique in that she opted not to wear a dress.
“I love a good jumpsuit,” she told BravoTV.com backstage at the reunion of her Walter Collection tuxedo-inspired black sequin one-piece. She was in good company with her label selection. “[Designer Walter Mendez] designs for so many amazing people. I mean, Beyoncé, J.Lo. I’m very, very flattered that he made this for me,” she added.
Melissa's Season 9 curve-hugging cutout jumpsuit
“The inspiration for the reunion was definitely metallics,” Melissa told BravoTV.com backstage at the Season 9 taping. “I wanted to find the best metallic there was so I went all the way to L.A. and I got an amazing jumpsuit because we all know that Andy Cohen loves a good jumpsuit. So I have an amazing silvery bluish jumpsuit.”
Amazing, indeed. The curve-clinging Walter Collection suit was covered in sparkles and featured large cutouts in the front and back. It had long sleeves, a high neckline, and flared bottoms.
Melissa's Envy Boutique beaded mini from the Season 8 reunion
For Season 8, the Envy Boutique owner dipped into her own collection and selected a beaded navy mini. The sparkling dress featured a check pattern of embellishments, long sleeves, and padded shoulders.
She added black ankle-strap stiletto sandals and wore her hair in long, loose curls, while her makeup look played with rosy tones on her eyes and lips.
Melissa's beige midi dress from the Season 7 Reunion
Melissa may have picked a softer color for the Season 7 reunion, but her cutout beige dress still made a statement. She paired the one-strap midi pencil dress with her newly lightened blonde hair.
“What percentage of that hair is your hair?” Andy quipped during the taping, to which Melissa replied, “About 75 percent.”
She wore sparkling drop earrings, a bracelet, and a large ring. Her nails were painted light pink. Her glam included brown eyeshadow and a deep pink blush.
Melissa's Season 6 Reunion white-hot wrap dress
A white long-sleeve wrap-style gown with a deep V neckline suited Melissa for the Season 6 gathering. She also noted that she went “back to my roots per Joe’s request” with darker hair, which she slicked back into a sleek low ponytail. She added gold snakeskin pointed-toe heels and sparkling stud earrings.
Melissa's flowing coral gown from the Season 5 Reunion
“I’m a blonde now,” Melissa exclaimed as Andy greeted her at the Season 5 sitdown. Indeed, her lighter locks were shiny as ever and curled to perfection.
As for her ensemble, a flowing asymmetrical coral frock with gold accents added just the right amount of drama. She also played with coral tones in her makeup look, which featured ultra-long lashes.
Melissa's Season 4 Reunion two-tone cutout mini
In her Season 4 tagline, Melissa declared, “I’m always a knockout.” Her pick for the Season 4 reunion, a two-tone short sleeve mini dress, proved that point. The gold and pink number featured a big cutout across the front.
She tied it all together with strappy sandals, voluminous curls, and sparkling gold eyeshadow.
Melissa's fiery cowl-neck dress from her Season 3 Reunion
For her reunion debut in Season 3, Melissa picked a red-hot midi dress with a fitted silhouette. When Andy cheekily asked if she was feeling “on display” in her cowl neck number, she replied, “I am, actually.”
