Without further do, here are the Season 2 Reunion looks for The Real Housewives of Dubai.
Caroline Brooks
Dress: Sherri Hill
Jewellery: Giuseppe Zanotti
Hair: Elizabeth Semande
Makeup: Ashley Stewart
Stylist: Ozzy Shah
Although the dress is gorgeous, it's giving... meh! She may be attempting to create a contrasting look from the first reunion, but I suspect this dress wasn't her first option. The hairstyle also seems mismatched, as if it was intended for a different overall aesthetic. In my opinion, a sleek updo paired with bold earrings would have added the necessary depth and elevation to this look. Nevertheless, it's not a bad attempt. Caroline's face undoubtedly saves this ensemble, carrying the entire look. 5/10.
Caroline Stanbury
Dress: Ali Karoui
Shoes: Ferragamo
Jewellery: ANTON Jewellery
Hair: Ryan Austin
Hair extensions: Fox and Vamp
Makeup: Joel Vasquez
This is a classic and on-brand look for Stanbury, who consistently delivers timeless and elegant ensembles, only to add an accessory that feels utterly unnecessary. At least she's consistent in this approach. This time, it's the drop earrings that should have been swapped out for some bold studs, which would have elevated the overall look. Its a 7/10 for me.
Sara Al Madani
Dress: Drenusha Xharra;
Shoes: Yves Saint Laurent;
Jewellery: Kismet by Milka
Hair: Julius Michael
Makeup: Priscilla DiStasio
I have mixed feelings about this look - I both love and hate it equally. While it's undoubtedly a statement-making ensemble, I'm unsure if it's suitable for a Housewives reunion. However, if you were to modify the dress by keeping the corseted top and replacing the bottom with tailored wide-legged trousers, you'd have a stunning look perfect for Kehlani at the Grammys. In its current state, I feel that the hair and necklace detract from the classic and timeless beauty of the gown—another 7/10.
Chanel Ayan
Dress: Michael Cinco
Shoes: Christian Louboutin
Hair: Shanice Fields
Makeup: Toni Malt, who used Ayan Beauty products for the look.
Ms. Ayan rarely disappoints, and this look is quintessentially Chanel - exactly what we've come to expect from her. My only wish is that she had kept her black hair, as it would have added a striking contrast and depth to the overall ensemble, particularly against the bold red tones. The dark hair would have elevated the look and created a stunning visual juxtaposition. 8/10 for me.
Lesa Milan
Dress: Valdrin Sahiti
Shoes: Gianvito Rossi
Hair: Stitchie
Makeup: Rebecca
Stylist: Shenell Welch
Lesa Milan deserves a standing ovation for this exceptional look! From head to toe, it's flawless - there's nothing I would change. Lesa and her team have truly outdone themselves, masterfully executing a modern twist on a classic silhouette. The bold, red metallic sheen adds an over-the-top touch, while the understated hair and accessories beautifully balance it out, bringing the overall look back down to earth. Without a doubt, Lesa is the best-dressed by far. 10/10.
Taleen Marie
Dress: Rminé
Shoes: Christian Louboutin
Jewellery: Oscar de la Renta
Hair: Lina Kidis
Makeup: Courtney Kearns
Stylist: Laurie Kalbian
Just... no. Unfortunately, apart from the understated jewelry choices and shoes, the rest of the look falls short. It's a shame, given her amazing figure and adorable face, which wouldn't require much to look polished. The dress, however, comes across as either too juvenile or a misguided throwback. Additionally, the hair appears to be styled with minimal effort, which further detracts from the overall look. It's like she doesn't care. And if you don't care, then I don't either. It's a 4/10 for me.
