The Real Housewives of New York City season 15 reunion featured Jenna Lyons in a black Balenciaga robe, as per an article published on Bravo's website on January 28, 2025. Instead of a typical gown, the cast member wore a black Balenciaga robe, styled with a matching towel wrapped around her head, sunglasses, delicate jewelry, and black heels with anklet embellishments.
Host Andy Cohen praised the look during a break and asked her to save it for BravoCon. However, Jenna revealed that she had no plans to keep it. She admitted that the robe was expensive, so she was going to return it.
When asked about the price, Jenna stated that the Balenciaga robe cost her $1,500. Her admission led to a conversation with Brynn Whitfield, who was seated beside her. Brynn quickly compared the cost of her reunion look, revealing that her metallic gown was priced at $7,000.
