Ariana Madix’s Black Lace Dress on Watch What Happens Live

Ariana Madix came dressed for revenge for her first interview post-“Scandoval.” Shortly after the “Vanderpump Rules” season 10 finale on May 17, the reality TV star appeared on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” in a showstopping lace gown, ready to reveal all. Featuring lace spider web detailing throughout, the dramatic black Alessandra Rich number was the perfect choice for her return to the show. The “slutty funeral” dress, as Madix described it, consisted of a completely sheer high-low silhouette and asymmetric sleeves, with the see-through skirt exposing her cheeky bodysuit underneath.

Styled by Emily Men, Madix’s striking look was finished with simple black sandal heels and a Pamela Anderson-inspired updo. Bravo’s Instagram account shared the ensemble from all angles ahead of the show, alongside a remix of “Look What You Made Me Do,” a fan-favorite revenge song of Taylor Swift’s. “The old Ariana can’t come to the phone right now . . . who’s ready for the new @arianamadix on #WWHL?” the caption read.

Madix previously donned another red-hot revenge dress to film the “Vanderpump Rules” reunion in April, wearing a Mônot jacket and skirt set, with chest, ab, and waist cutouts on full display. In both instances, her dress choice certainly seems intentional — after all, the concept of the revenge dress was originally popularized by Princess Diana, who wore a now-iconic off-the-shoulder minidress the same night Prince Charles confessed to his affair.
