When it came time to pick a gown for The Real Housewives of New York City Season 11 reunion, Dorinda Medley was ready to change things up. Dorinda, who helped put evening gown designer Jovani on the Bravo map when she set Luann de Lesseps up with the designer to outfit her cabaret shows, told The Lookbook backstage at the reunion: "I've decided to shy away from the $400 pageant dresses." (Watch the video above to see.) 

Instead, Dorinda turned to another maker of glittering ballgowns for her reunion look. "I called up my old friend Naeem Khan," the mom told The Lookbook. The result? A "strapless, old-world glamorous, sequined gold-red" column, which just so happens to be on sale for $585 at Neiman Marcus. She added, "I think I'm gonna let Luann just fully take on the Jovani thing."
