When we talk about reality TV, we often think of the juicy drama that keeps us on the edge of our seats, but we don’t talk enough about the amazing fashion looks served on reality shows. Recently, Law Roach and Ziwe sat down for a chat with Recho Omondi on Hulu’s “Get Real” and discussed who they think are some of the best-dressed reality TV stars. While they listed icons such as Lisa Rinna and Jennifer Tilly, we’ve got some Black stars we know are in that category who we just have to give a shout-out to. Here’s our list of the best-dressed reality TV stars.
Olandria Carthen
Since leaving the “Love Island USA” villa, Olandria Carthen has cemented herself as one of the most fashionable reality TV stars. Whether she’s spotted by paparazzi while walking down the street or strolling across the red carpet, Olandria is turning heads.
Cynthia Bailey
Being a model, it only makes sense that Cynthia Bailey would also be one of the most stylish reality TV girls. We’re obsessed with these sheer flare pants and oversized, off-the-shoulder sweatshirt. It doesn’t get any more fabulous than this.
Serena Page
Another “Love Island USA” alum, Serena Page is always killing the fashion game at red carpet events. This orange leather gown with matching pointed heels that she wore at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards is still on our minds.

Kordell Beckham
Of course, we can’t speak about Page without also talking about her just as fly other half. We can always rely on Kordell Beckham to save us from a minimal black suit at glitzy events, and this white floral fit he gave us at the Grammy Awards is chef’s kiss.
Karamo Brown
Karamo Brown is a star you’ll never catch lacking. His fits are always tailored to perfection, classy and sure to draw your attention. This dark gray double-breasted suit he wore for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 2024 is one of our favorites.
Garcelle Beauvais
Garcelle Beauvais’ best look is always her next one. This asymmetrical black-and-white set she wore to the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards was not only gorgeous, but we’re wondering where we can get the entire look!
Guerdy Abraira
We can’t talk about fashionable reality TV stars without mentioning Guerdy Abraira. The “Real Housewives of Miami” icon is always giving us a moment, as she did in this lime-green cutout gown. It’s giving 1970s, and we’re loving it!
Jason Bolden
Maybe this is cheating since Jason Bolden is a celebrity stylist and a main cast member of Netflix’s “Styling Hollywood,” so, of course, he has great fashion taste. But it’s impossible not to mention the looks he puts together. Just look at the matching purse and shoes!
Eva Marcille
“America’s Next Top Model” winner Eva Marcille is always dressed to the nines and serving an insane face card to go with her fits. At the BET Awards, Marcille gagged the paparazzi when she stepped out in a green mini dress, strappy heels and chunky gold jewelry.
Marlo Hampton
Marlo Hampton always has fun with her outfits and that’s what makes her one of the most fashionable reality TV stars. At the Beauty Icon Awards, Hampton wore a gorgeous, deep-red ruffled gown that complemented her skin perfectly.
NeNe Leakes
If there’s one thing our favorite diva, NeNe Leakes, knows how to do, it’s put together a fabulous fit. At Elton John’s Academy Awards viewing party, she stole our breath away in a shiny purple wrap dress with a killer blonde bob.
Lesa Milan
You’ll never catch “The Real Housewives of Dubai” star Lesa Milan in a boring gown. We love this shiny metallic red dress on her and how it shows off her stunning figure. Her finger-waved pixie cut elevates the look to another level.
Symone
Winner of season 13 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” Symone is a fashion icon who has no issue with experimenting with her looks. No matter the fit, she’s always going to look like the very definition of glamorous, just like she did at the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Finale Watch Party.
