Bravo dropped the reunion look for RHONJ season 13 cast members on Tuesday, May 2, and fans were shocked by Melissa Gorga's blue sparkly gown with a "hood." The reality star has been in a fight with her sister-in-law Teresa throughout the season and fans were expecting a sharp look for the explosive confrontation that will take place at the reunion set.
Melissa decided to wear a cobalt blue Walter Mendez mermaid-style plain gown with sequins, a small train, and a deep neckline. The dress also had a hood of the same color. Her bracelet and tiny earrings were from Marvelous Diamonds. The star styled it with a bun and big eye lashes. Alex Natoli did her earth tone makeup and Melissa kept it cool with plain blue nails
RHONJ fans couldn't believe that Melissa would wear such an "ill-fitted" dress with nothing but sequins, as she is known for her dramatic dresses with huge cutouts. They compared her hooded dress to that of the "Disney evil" characters.
"Bad choice": RHONJ fans think Melissa's reunion look is the worst
While Melissa usually wears evergreen colors like white or gray in reunion episodes, her decision to wear a dark color this season did not bode well with fans. They felt that as compared to the other ladies who wore gold or purple, Melissa's dress was "just horrible."
