Whether you know Heather Dubrow from her time in front of the cameras acting, or are only familiar with her thanks to her time on Real Housewives of Orange County, she is certainly a woman who knows how to leave a lasting impact. Back for another round of chaos in Season 17, we’re expecting big things. Heather is not only great television, but a fashionista at heart. Here we take a look back at some of her best looks over the years.
Before The Real Housewives
Before her time on Real Housewives, Heather was serving looks as an actress. Here she is pictured in character as Lydia DeLucca on That’s Life. The personality she played was a fashionable one, and that’s something that has leaked through into Heather’s real life. With a zebra-print shirt and black pants, along with a red lip and nail polish to complete the look, she is a woman who appears ready to take on the world. Keeping in mind that this photograph was taken in 1999, it would also be fair to say that Heather hasn’t aged a day.
Keeping It Real
When she joined the other Orange County housewives in Season 7, Heather made an instant impact. Part of that was down to how she presented herself. She wore a stunning salmon pink ruffled dress for the season’s promotional shoot. Thus introducing herself as a woman of elegance, and somebody who has their finger firmly on the fashion pulse. She wore her hair down for the pictures and combined her dress with some simple accessories to show that sometimes, less is more.
Reunion Ready
The RHOC reunions are always an explosive time. Heather has worn many different looks and styles throughout her time on the show. This one from the Season 9 reunion stands out among a packed crowd, however. Heather’s striking eyes are highlighted by the bangs, and she somehow looks even younger thanks to the hairstyle. The reunion dress is a simple red, but those shiny scarlet heels with studs are anything BUT simple! She might not want to cuss you out, but if you go too far, she might not be able to help herself.
Stripes Are In This Season
Sometimes all you need to do for a fashion moment is keep it casual. That is exactly what Heather has done with this look, wearing a gorgeous striped dress that looks perfect on her body. It may not be flashy or expensive, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t steal the spotlight in it. This is a woman who knows exactly when to take risks, and when to play it safe. More importantly, she knows exactly how to serve a look with a smart finish. Other housewives could take some notes!
Getting Glitzy
Working the red carpet is a fundamental task of any Real Housewives cast member. Heather knew to pull out all of the stops at this event in 2015, when she wore a matching black sparkly crop top, with a shiny knee-length skirt. Some beautiful heels and a red lip completed the look. Heather’s hair is very slightly tussled here, giving her the air of somebody who is excited to enjoy a night out on the town with a few drinks. She is the moment, and she knows it.
It’s All About The Confidence
Wearing an entirely black outfit would for a lot of people not be a showstopping moment. Fortunately, Heather knows that when it comes to turning out a look, it is all about confidence. She exudes that on the red carpet at the premiere of RHOC Season 10. Old fans of ABC drama Desperate Housewives would be forgiven for thinking it was making a comeback. Heather looks as if she’s set to audition for the role of Bree Van de Kamp’s long-lost relative.
Denim Delight
We’re not sure how comfortable this outfit would have been against the skin, but sometimes you have to suffer for a fashion moment. Heather has thrown all doubt about the impact of denim to the side here, wearing a button-up dress with her signature smile. The choice of footwear isn’t as awe-inspiring as the rest of the outfit. But the denim offering alone is enough to earn this a spot in her best looks over the years. At least she wore shoes, which is more than can be said for Jenny McCarthy.
Pretty As A Picture
Classy. Stylish. Elegant. Luxurious. Those are just some of the words that could be used to describe Heather and what she wears. This striped dress isn’t something you could envision every other Real Housewives cast member wearing. For some, it would just be too simple. But Heather is not like everybody else, and she isn’t afraid to stand in the spotlight being her unique self whenever the moment calls. She is a true classic, and for that, she has to be celebrated.
Back To Business
Heather has enjoyed a career surge in recent years, and it has really elevated her fashion game. She can be seen here in character filming an episode of Young & Hungry for Freeform. The woven dress overlaid with exaggerated shoulders that drape down almost as a cape over Heather’s arms delivers one of her most memorable looks of all time. If this isn’t a costume she stole from the wardrobe department and took home, then she should be charged with missing out on a great opportunity.
Upping The Stakes
We’re rounding out Heather’s best looks from over the years with this incredible fashion offering from 2019. The actress visited Universal Studios Hollywood, and while a lot of people would have dressed down for the occasion, she decided to go all out. It’s something we are very thankful for. There’s a subtle crosshatch pattern on the dress, and as we all know by now, Heather loves to complete a look with some subtly-studded heels. Everything about this outfit is right. She looks incredible from head to toe.
