Go Behind the Scenes with the RHOBH Season 14 Cast in These Ultra-Glam Unseen Pics
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills kicked off Season 14 with a fabulous photoshoot full of custom-made gowns and on-set pranks.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills may be all-new for Season 14, but the vibes are. old. Old Hollywood, that is. It’s showtime, baby!
To kick off another season in the 90210, the ‘Wives got dolled up in their very best 1950’s-inspired looks and posed for their Season 14 portraits. The Daily Dish tagged along to capture some behind-the-scenes content and chat with the cast about what’s next for RHOBH. Spoiler alert: we’re in for another fabulous season.
Garcelle Beauvais, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Kyle Richards, and Sutton Stracke are all returning, and will be joined by newcomer Bozoma Saint John. Familiar faces Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly will also be in the mix as friends. This season, the ladies are delivering absolutely everything from FOMO-inducing group trips to shifting friendship dynamics.
“Now, more than ever, the Beverly Hills ladies are our ‘Hollywood Housewives,’” shared Bravo’s Creative Team. “And they’re more than simply Tinseltown adjacent—with a cast made up of actors, an entertainment marketing executive, the consummate ‘showman,’ and some of the most noteworthy socialites LA has to offer, it was time to celebrate their upcoming new season through the lens of the neighborhood’s iconic past.”
Erika Jayne channels her inner screen siren
“I had a really nice time this year,” Erika revealed as she received a glam touch up between takes. “I’m excited just to be moving forward. A lot of the theme of my life right now is moving forward, and that’s what you’ll see on the show.”
Erika’s one-of-a-kind look was inspired by “all the screen sirens of the fabulous movies that they don’t make anymore." The dark blue gown adorned in crystals with matching gloves is by Garo Sparo, a New York City-based fashion designer that creates custom garments, primarily for performers.
Dorit Kemsley understands the assignment
As RHOBH fans know, Dorit takes her style game very seriously. The fashion designer has an impressive collection of archival vintage looks, and the number she wore for her Season 14 portraits told the perfect story.
“Listen, when I get an assignment, I like to follow it to the best of my ability,” said Dorit.
"The seafoam green hue is one of the key colors of this era, and Dorit’s dress rounded out the cast color palette perfectly,” said Bravo’s Creative Team.
While the RHOBH ladies have always brought their A-game to cast photoshoots, there’s something a bit more magical about this one. While each of the ladies were given a mood board filled with inspiration from vintage starlets, they were told to put their own personal spin on the aesthetic. “The Old Hollywood theme gave the cast more room to play. It opens up new silhouettes and new colors. It’s a new approach,” the Creative Team said.
“I think it’s a great change,” said Dorit. “I’m excited about the direction, and I think it’s a lot of fun.”
Season 14 will have lots of change in store for Dorit, as she shares the struggles in her marriage to Paul “PK” Kemsley with the women. As she navigates the shift in their relationship, she finds her voice like never before.

Garcelle Beauvais tries something new
With a portfolio full of impressive film and TV roles (plus the launch of her production company, Garcelle Productions), Garcelle is no stranger to Hollywood. While the esteemed actor teased she’s “more vulnerable” this season of RHOBH than ever before, the ultra-glam photo set seems like a natural setting for this star.
“We’re glamorous, old Hollywood. I love it. What’s not to like?” Garcelle said. “I love fashion and I dress for me. If it pleases or doesn’t please people: f-ck ‘em.”
“I’ve never really done this color before,” Garcelle said of her embellished gown, which featured a stunning cape detail. “It’s like, light, pale blue. It really sets off the color of my hair. It just gives the old Hollywood vibe.”
What else can Garcelle tease ahead of Season 14? “Dynamic, fun, petty drama.” Count us in. Viewers can also expect to see the multi-hyphenate continue to build her legacy as an executive producer, actor, and mother.
Sutton Stracke is stripping back
Speaking of drama... Sutton initially made a splash with her statement-making style when she joined the group in Season 10 in 2020, but these days, she’s toning it down.
“I don’t wear a lot of my couture anymore,” she said. “I love to really wear outlandish things and I’ve really toned that down. I think everyone is thankful.”
The Southern socialite explained that her new approach is to reach for some of the more “relatable pieces” that she’s always had in her closet. But fear not: relatable doesn’t mean boring. In fact, Sutton’s old Hollywood look was created with pieces she already owned.
“I tried to go pretty vintage. I’m wearing vintage Lanvin” Sutton said of her luxurious gown. As for the necklace? “It’s vintage brooches and pieces like that that this artist puts together in different ways.”
A style vibe shift isn’t the only thing in store for Sutton. This season, she’s busy working on a sustainable capsule collection and a fashion show.
Bozoma Saint John means business
Having already established a prolific career in the corporate world, Bozoma came to RHOBH with a plan: “Direction has to be clear.”
For starters, the newcomer was very intentional when choosing a look for the Season 14 portraits. Her intricate pink gown isn’t just a feast for the eyes, but it tells a story, too.
“My look is couture. It’s custom made in Ghana by a designer named Mimmy Yeboah.” Bozoma said. “I wanted to play homage to Black Hollywood, and instead of just using an actress [as inspiration], I went with one of the first Black designers that had a store on Broadway in New York. Her name is Zelda [Wynn Valdes], and Zelda famously also made the Playboy bunny costumes... She’s almost like a hidden figure, right? Because you don’t hear about her. Most people don’t know her by name.”
Bozoma chose a Zelda Wynn Valdes design for Mimmy Yeboah to recreate. “It’s a great first impression. It’s a great way to make a statement,” said Bravo’s Creative Team. “It’s a moment.”
Viewers can look forward to meeting the most important people in Bozoma's life, including her 15-year-old daughter, Lael, and her boyfriend, Keely. There are new relationships on the horizon, too, as she forms a fast friendship with Dorit.
Kyle Richards' keeps things glamorous with unexpected accessories
"I'm not someone who loves to sit in hair and makeup," Kyle joked, "but when the final result all comes together, I'm happy and it looks amazing."
The look was definitely worth the wait. To pull it together, Kyle opted for a chic frock that evokes the Old Hollywood aesthetic while staying true to her signature style. Fun fact: Her chic baby pink choker was created from the material left over after her dress was hemmed to take her baby pink gown to a whole new level.
Moving forward from her separation from husband Mauricio Umansky and watching her home life change as their daughters grow up and create lives of their own, Kyle’s entering a new era.
Kathy Hilton keeps the cast on their toes
There’s never a dull moment when infamous prankster Kathy Hilton is around. From jumping out and scaring her sister Kyle at the coffee station on set to playing mind games with Bozoma as she sat in hair and makeup, Kathy had no shortage of ways to keep the day fun.
The friend of the cast is excited to bring “back the glamour and the elegance that the show started with,” and also hosts a trip this season. Kathy steps into a supportive sister role for Kyle, and a trusted companion to Dorit.
On the topic of elegance, Kathy’s photoshoot look was truly timeless. She opted for an Oscar de la Renta gown, noting that’s “a designer I’m very comfortable with. It screams... Old Hollywood kind of glamour.”
Jennifer Tilly's dreams come true
“When you think Beverly Hills, you think glamour,” she said. “When you think of Beverly Hills, you think of premieres and movie stars and everything, so it was fun to kind of camp it up.”
If anyone knows camp, it’s the Oscar-nominated actress and Chucky star. To get into character for the unscripted role of a lifetime, she chose a Dolce and Gabbana Alta Moda dress.
“They made it especially for me. I love it because it’s got a Marilyn-y silhouette,” she said. “It’s kind of an old-time movie star dress.”
Jennifer joked that when the show premieres, she’s excited to see what the rest of the RHOBH ladies have been up to all season, poking fun at the fact that she didn't attend every single event as a friend of the cast.
“You know, I’m a huge Housewives fan. I have been since the beginning,” she said. “It’s kind of a dream come true for me because it’s like I climbed into the camera to be on my favorite show.”
