The second day of BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas was a spectacle of celebrity style and revelations, with actress Denise Richards commanding attention on the red carpet. The 54-year-old star arrived at Caesars Forum looking remarkably sleek and youthful, setting the tone for a day filled with fashion and franchise updates.
Star-Studded Appearances and Style Statements
Denise Richards made a powerful style statement in a fitted, brown, short-sleeved bodysuit paired with ribbed gray leggings. Her ensemble was elevated with knee-high brown leather boots and a coordinating Gucci belt as she warmly interacted with fans. Her visage was bronzed and wrinkle-free, with her big blue eyes accentuated by warm makeup and dark mascara.
Her dirty blonde locks were styled in a side part with sultry waves that tumbled over her chest during the 'Bravo Bravo F'ing Bravo' panel. The mom-of-three displayed a pale pink almond-shaped manicure, adding a touch of elegance to her look amidst her highly publicised divorce proceedings from Aaron Phypers.
Other Bravo celebrities gracing the event included Brittany Cartwright, 36, who wowed in a low-cut white dress that emphasised her busty chest. The dress featured a halter neckline and draped sash that tied around her waist, complemented by a sleek updo with a middle part and top knot bun.
Larsa Pippen, 51, opted for a more covered-up approach in a clinging tan and black snake print dress. The reality star has been sharing behind-the-scenes BravoCon content with her 5.6 million Instagram followers, including a video clip where she iced her swollen feet after day two activities.
Personal Revelations and Reconciliations
The convention wasn't just about fashion, as several stars opened up about their personal lives. Brittany Cartwright revealed the status of her divorce from Jax Taylor, stating there were 'no real updates' and that she's hopeful the divorce will be finalised in December. The mom-of-one, who shares four-year-old son Cruz with Jax, discussed the challenges of dating post-breakup while prioritising her son's wellbeing.
In a heartwarming development, Teresa Giudice and her brother Joe Gorga put on a united front, posing together and delighting fans with their reconciliation. The 53-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey personality wore a busty black jumpsuit with a sheen finish and had debuted bright, honey-blonde tresses on Friday.
During the Housewife2Housewife panel, Teresa confirmed she has finally put aside her differences with her 51-year-old brother and 46-year-old sister-in-law Melissa Gorga. She made the reconciliation official with a group photo captioned, 'LOVE LOVE LOVE,' adding '#teamfamily #bravocon2025.' Her 24-year-old daughter Gia commented, 'This just makes me so happy.'
Franchise Updates and New Cast Members
Significant news emerged regarding Bravo's programming during the convention. It was announced that Lala Kent, 35, and fellow Vanderpump Rules alum Tom Schwartz have been added to the cast of The Valley. The news was shared at the Peaks & The Valley panel, along with a trailer and full cast list for The Valley's offshoot - The Valley: Persian Style.
Lala, who made a striking arrival in a sheer black catsuit accented with metallic purple shorts and a matching jacket, commented on her new role: 'I came on to Vanderpump Rules season four, and they were like a very well-oiled machine. And joining this show, I was the well-oiled machine.' She added that she had 'a wonderful time' but acknowledged the experience was 'different.'
Denise Richards generated excitement by teasing her return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in the explosive season 15 trailer. The new season is set to premiere on December 4 with newcomers Rachel Zoe and Amanda Frances.
The showbiz veteran's personal life has been tumultuous since Aaron filed divorce paperwork on July 7. Denise hit back a week later with a request for a temporary restraining order that included domestic abuse allegations - all of which her husband denied. She has since been granted a five-year restraining order against her estranged spouse.
Other notable appearances included The Valley's Michelle Saniei, 37, in a black mini skirt and wrap-around blazer, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley, 49, flashing her taut abs in an all-black outfit, and Lisa Vanderpump, 65, bringing her classic style in a dainty black mini dress.
