'RHONJ' Fans Divided Over Longtime Star's Over-The-Top Look

   

The longest-running star of Bravo’s Real Housewives of New Jersey made a splash at a fan event in Australia, unveiling an over-the-top ensemble that sparked mixed reactions. Flaunting her curves in two eye-catching styles, the reality veteran embraced a bold fashion choice, but not all her fans were on board.

Teresa Giudice is currently in Australia to participate in the fan event, Bring Back My Wives. The reality star is headlining down under, alongside RHSLC star Whitney Rose and Drag Race stars.

The event runs for two weeks, with stops in Port Macquarie, Penrith, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast. Ahead of the appearance, Giudice wrote on Instagram, "Get ready for glam, drama, and unforgettable fun."

Separately, the reality star posted a snapshot of a fire-red outfit, thanking the city of Penrith for a fabulous show. However, her over-the-top ensemble left fans divided.

Giudice showed off her curves in a low-cut red mini dress, covered in beading that moved with her. She paired the outfit with thigh-high matching boots.

In a series of four photos and videos, the RHONJ star vamped it up for the camera solo and with Rose. For the live event, Giudice wore a beaded gold gown with a low-cut neckline and thigh-high slit.

Although the looks were certainly worth talking about, fans used their voices to praise and criticize the reality star's flamboyant fashion choices. Their division was evident in the remarks listed within the post's caption.

 

One fan called Guidice an "icon" while another said, "She's serving body." A third wrote, "I love the red on you."

Other followers weren't so complimentary. "Not understanding the over-the-top makeup, scanty clothes, and nonstop posts." Another penned, "Every post is cringe, just stop." A final follower noted, "It's like a train wreck, I can't not look."

Giudice's tour of Australia comes as the future of the long-running reality series. Real Housewives of New Jersey remains questionable. The series was put on an indefinite hiatus due to intense cast conflicts and drama throughout Season 14.

The show's executive producer, Andy Cohen, told The View audience in June 2025 that the series was "actively casting." He revealed, “We are doing casting with Jersey. It was really on a deep pause, and we are actively there, casting, and kind of looking at the future of what that will be. It’s a great franchise and we love it. I just have to reiterate that.
