The trailer for “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” season 15 teases new beginnings for some of the women, including fashion designer Rachel Zoe, who joins the cast for the first time.

Zoe introduces herself in the trailer, telling viewers, “You may or may not remember me from Bravo because I’ve lived here before.” The clip then sees her partying with her castmates as she holds up a glass a champagne and states, “Hot girl summer!”

However, not everything seems picture-perfect for Zoe as her divorce from her husband, Rodger Berman, will be front and center this season.

Speaking to her two young children in her kitchen, Zoe shares, “We are moving forward and getting divorced.” The younger of the two responds, “You’re not in love with him anymore.”

As the trailer concludes on some of the most emotional moments between the women, Zoe is seen in tears and covering her face as she tells Kemsley and Saint John, “I wanted a hot girl summer. I’m not having one at all.”

Zoe’s Bravo bio for the new season reads: “Rachel is embracing her new freedom while navigating a divorce from her husband, who also happens to be her longtime business partner. Single for the first time in her adult life, she’s ready for a hot girl summer alongside her friends. Determined to have a good time, Rachel refuses to let anything, or anyone, stand in her way.”

People reports that Zoe filed for divorce from her husband of over 26 years, Rodger Berman, in July, after first announcing their separation in September 2024. At the time of her announcement, the fashion designer shared that she and Berman had made a “mutual decision” to separate.

In her divorce filing, Zoe cited “irreconcilable differences” and asked for shared custody of their two sons, Skyler and Kaius.

In a July interview with People, Zoe explained why she decided to return to television. Fans of reality TV may recall her own Bravo series, “The Rachel Zoe Project,” which aired from 2008 to 2013 and followed her life as a fashion designer.

“But for me to go back [on TV], it had to be when I really felt like I had a lot to share and a lot to say. Publicly, as we know, my life has shifted in many ways personally and professionally. I felt like it was the time now to sit with an amazing group of women and really talk about my new life and what that looks like,” she told the outlet.

Not only are fans eager to see how Zoe interacts with these reality TV women, but they also can’t wait to watch her outshine them in the fashion department.
