During the 15th season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle, 57, unveiled a new confessional outfit consisting of a dark blazer, a crisp white button-up, and a dark tie adorned with several brooches. This ensemble has drawn comparisons to a style previously worn by Lisa, 65.
The Instagram account Vanderpump Rules Party highlighted the resemblance on March 16, posting a side-by-side comparison of the two women and commenting, “Kyle seems to have adopted Lisa Vanderpump’s signature tie look….right down to the blingy spider [brooches]! Who wore it better….VOTE BELOW and comment!”
The post sparked a lively debate among fans, with opinions divided as some favored Kyle’s rendition while others preferred Lisa’s original style.
After the photos were shared, fans weighed in, with some people giving the win to Kyle and others giving it to Lisa.
“LVP always!” one person declared.
“Always LVP, Kyle is the biggest copier,” wrote another.
“Lisa of course,” added a third.
Meanwhile, someone else said Kyle was the winner because “she wore it in a queer icon way.”
Another wondered, “Is Kyle trying to tell us something with her attire??”
As RHOBH fans well know, Kyle was linked to country singer Morgan Wade, 31, for months after splitting from Mauricio Umansky, 55, but she never outright confirmed whether they were a couple. That said, she did say she could “go Brad, or I could go Angelina,” amid season 15, seemingly hinting that she was open to dating a man or a woman.
Months later, during an interview on Housewives Nightcap, Lisa, who suffered a falling out with Kyle amid season nine years ago, weighed in on the situation, stating that Kyle “should be with Morgan.”
“I think she should just bring it out in the open if that’s what she wants,” she shared. “I don’t understand what the fuss is. Where is all this ambiguity? If you want to be with a woman, be with a woman.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
