The cameras weren’t even rolling when the drama started the Real Housewives of Orange County season 16 reunion.
Shannon Beador enlisted Project Runway star Bones Jones to create her season 16 reunion. The Bravo stars met during season 19 of Project Runway when Shannon appeared a model for Bones, who was tasked with creating the ultimate Real Housewives reunion dress. They bonded and killed the competition; however, the results were less than spectacular when Shannon asked Bones to create her season 16 reunion look.
“Shannon really clicked with Bones while they were filming and wanted to support him by wearing a custom dress by him to the reunion,” an insider told Page Six. “She flew him out to California on her dime, put him up in a nice hotel, and took him to dinner. When it came time for him to show her the gown, it was a complete mess.”
The dress was reportedly a “horrific yellow” and was in a fabric that didn’t stretch and revealed “every wrinkle.” The dress also accentuated Shannon’s mid-section in an unflattering way.
“It was one of the ugliest reunion dresses,” the insider shared. “Nothing was finished; the hem was fraying everywhere.”
Despite the fashion faux pas, the OC Housewife seems to have no hard feelings towards Bones.
“I wanted to support new talent, and I wanted him to succeed,” Shannon told Page Six Style, “but he tried something new, and unfortunately, it didn’t work.”
Meanwhile, Bones shared his side of things on Instagram.
Bones says he made Shannon’s reunion dress in two days with the help of a friend. He also alleged that he only received “3 measurements” from Shannon; however, he’s “still extremely grateful” for the experience.
“I had a vision for Shannon’s reunion dress, but for various reasons, it didn’t turn out the way we wanted it to,” he shared on Instagram. “Despite what took place with the dress, leaving set that day, I thought we ALL felt very happy and accomplished with the final result … I hope we can work together again in the future.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm EST on Bravo.
