Heather Dubrow Revealed Why She Bought an Inexpensive Dress for the Season 19 Reunion
BravoOn Nov. 3, Dubrow shared more details on the shockingly low price of her Season 19 reunion dress on her “Between Us” podcast with her husband, Terry.
After she asked her surgeon husband to guess the cost of the dress, he guessed between $10,000 and $20,000. Dubrow then noted that she would typically spend “somewhere between $3,000 to $7,000” for a reunion dress but dished that her latest look cost just $59.99.
“I was given a mood board of colors and styles [from Bravo], and I looked, and I just didn’t find anything that I loved,” she explained. The wealthy reality star added that she went online and “ordered a bunch of dresses and tried them on.”
“This particular dress, I was obsessed with the color,” she explained. “It was really beautiful, burgundy, and saturated. I really liked the neckline. I could wear a normal bra — because nine times out of 10 I’m in a strapless bra, and after two and a half hours it’s halfway down my chest. … I just wanted to be comfortable. I tried this dress on and was like, ‘You know what? It’s a great color. I can wear a regular bra. This looks terrific. Why do I need to spend a fortune?’”
“I could have chosen anything, but that was the dress I liked, so that was the dress I chose,” she concluded. Dubrow’s husband joked that the $60 range should be her budget “from now on.”
Heather Dubrow Wore an Affordable Dress to the RHOC Season 18 Reunion
Dubrow is known for her elegant confessional and reunion styles, but she also knows how to spot a bargain. In 2024, she shared a slideshow of her looks from the season on Instagram.
“This year’s confessional looks and not a SINGLE black dress… Are you proud??! Surprised?!?“ she asked fans. “ALSO, with the reunion fast approaching any thoughts on what I will be wearing?”
Dubrow ultimately wore an affordable reunion dress last year as well, although not as inexpensive as the 2025 dress. The reality star wore the brown mesh Seroya Noel midi dress. She told The Daily Dish she opted for a”clean, simple, chic” look with “espresso martini vibes” for the Season 18 sitdown.
The first part of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” Season 19 reunion airs Thursday, Nov. 6 on Bravo.
