Other notable mentions include Southern Charm darling Madison LeCroy's effortlessly polished Southern belle aesthetic and the jaw-dropping $10 million diamond necklace seen on Love Island's Olandria Carthen at the Vanity Fair Oscars bash.

BEST WE-GOT-THE-MEMO REUNION LOOK
Real Housewives of Atlanta
In February, Luann de Lesseps shared the unthinkable: Her signature headpiece was missing. "New York! I need your help finding my iconic Philip Treacy cabaret hat," she begged her millions of followers. "If you've seen her, email me. A countess without her hat is simply not acceptable." Fedora (Dora for short, at least to Us) had been through it with De Lesseps, 60, from shows at Café Carlyle to supercharged speed dating on Love Hotel. As of press time, Dora had not been located, and anyone with knowledge of her whereabouts was urged to contact the Countess' assistant. And, of course, the "Chic C'est La Vie" singer added, "Your discretion is appreciated."
DESIGNER ICON
Bronwyn Newport
You have received the most votes and are banished - to the Isle of Fabulosity! Cumming, 61, has won Tonys, BAFTAs, Emmys and Oliviers for his work on screen and stage. But his most dramatic role is as The Traitors' ominous guide, always draped in showstoppers styled by Emmy winner Sam Spector. In the fourth season at Scotland's Ardross Castle, Cumming brought everything from traditional tartan to edgy chain mail accents. His coffin coat signaled a challenge involving caskets. A faux-fur-lined blue cape (and matching locks) portended mystery. We can't wait to see what's up his voluminous sleeves come season 5.
BEST DIVA RETURN
Rachel Zoe
When the single mom started appearing regularly on Southern Charm in season 6, she came in hot. By season 10 last year, things were different: The entrepreneur, 35, had wed and welcomed a baby with Brett Randle - and had become the welcoming, cool-headed voice of reason. She counseled ex Austen Kroll on his relationships, romantic and otherwise, including his falling-out with buddy Shep Rose. She gave it to Craig Conover straight when she thought his attitude needed an adjustment. And she did it all while looking like the fab Southern belle she is. It's no surprise Charleston society grande dame Patricia Altschul has always had a soft spot for LeCroy: It's clear she's been taking notes!
MOST CONFIDENT NEWCOMERS
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island
She was the runner-up on season 7 of Love Island USA alongside boyfriend Nic Vansteenberghe, but all we see is a winner. Not only are the couple still together, Carthen, 27, is a newly minted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, appearing in the brand's March edition. But her crown jewel moment, the one we can't stop thinking about, is her appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, where she wore a plunging Pajtim Raci gown and an Azature diamond back necklace worth $10 million. "I was scared AF the whole night," she posted on X about the bauble. "Jumping every time ppl reach for a hug." She had nothing to worry about. Whether dealing with the hot Fiji sand or cool Hollywood ice, Carthen nails it.
