When Margaret Josephs appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on April 18, she brought two welcome guests with her to the Bravo Clubhouse. Though Margaret hasn’t been seen in her signature pigtails for a while, she revived them for her sit-down with Andy. And he welcomed the pigtails back with open arms.

In March, Margaret teased that she would be reviving the hairstyle soon. “I still do the pigtails, but my hair is very short right now,” she shared. “I am gonna bring them back more!” she promised. “Do not fear, the pigtails will be here!”

And she stayed true to her promise. When greeting The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member at the top of the show, Andy said, “Marge, you brought back the pigtails! I love it. I’m happy to see them back.” Margaret responded: “I did! I thought, OG Marge.”

The entrepreneur, whose nickname is “The Powerhouse in Pigtails,” also wore a white pantsuit by Elisabetta Franchi. She accented her look with chunky gold jewelry and platform heels. Bravolebrity-adored hairstylist Julius Michael helped her revive her “OG” hair look, while makeup artist George Miguel Arnone gave her a glowy, bronzed beauty look with long, jet-black lashes. 

You can see Marge’s recent WWHL look in the clip above and in the pics below. “Kickin it old school in the Clubhouse with the piggies,” Margaret captioned an Instagram post that captured her throwback look.

If you’re not familiar with the history of Margaret’s cutesy coif, here’s a little crash course: When the MacBeth founder appeared on RHONJ back in 2017, she was rarely seen without her hair in the youthful hairstyle. In a video, she told BravoTV.com about the allure of wearing her hair in two ponytails. 

“People love the pigtails,” she said. “They’re charming [and] disarming. I’d go into a business meeting, people would underestimate me, and then you can take over.” 

Margaret also shared her secret for “perfect pigtails” in the clip. “The pigtails have to be low, in the right position, so you can still see your earrings,” she shared, showing off her gold hoops. “I feel [the pigtails] work on me, and they’re easy. People aren’t futzing all over my hair.”

She added: “People are making quite the hoopla! Everyone’s commenting on the pigtails. “I never thought they were such a big deal.”
