Taking to TikTok, Bethany revealed she found the perfect pair of heels for summer and they look a lot like Louboutin's Me Dolly sandals. She said: "Amazon shoe announcement. I want to gatekeep." While the reality star wanted to keep the buy to herself, she decided to share it with her followers. The peep toe shoes come with a super high, sleek heel and are from the brand TNYNFBEB. The top leather has a smooth, low-cut style to elongate the legs and adds a retro touch. The shoes come in multiple colours and the price starts at just £55.30. Bethany added: "They're comfortable. They look rich. They're just it. These are Amazon shoes. "You're not welcome because I don't want you to have them because my whole team copies everything I do and it's irritating, but I can't keep it from you. "I'm going back on now and buying every color so you can't have them all. You can only get the ones you get. I get first dibs." Primark drops 'stunning' £20 flower heels that are perfect for summer and dupe for £895 celeb-loved designer buy The shoe looks super similar to Louboutin's Me Dolly heels which come in a patent calf leather and cost an eye-watering £690. The dupe Bethany found from Amazon were a fraction of the price and could save you £635. Fans of Bethany's were quick to thank her for sharing the designer dupe in the comments. One person wrote: "Yes Beth, the actual Lord's work." Why you should always buy a dupe over designer... Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend says it's time fashion snobs stopped looking down their noses at affordable versions of designer buys. Bargain US supermarket Walmart became a social media sensation when its £60 dupe of Hermès' Birkin bag, dubbed the Wirkin, went viral. Influencer @styledbykristi gushed: "Eighty dollars (£60), you can pretend that you got a Birkin. I mean, everyone will probably know it's not, because who the hell has the money to spend on the real Birkin? Not me.' Me neither. And why bother? I would never spend that on a designer bag (although if someone wants to buy one for me, that's a different story). Plus, if I splashed that much, I'd feel I was being ripped off... We've all been told how the leading brands use the finest leather, thread, dyes and craftsmanship in the world. But all that is inflated by fashion houses to create the desired illusion of exclusivity. Just last year, Dior came under investigation for paying £44 to assemble a bag that sells for £2,000. So while you might think you are paying for top-level craftsmanship carried out by a true artisan, chances are the poorly paid workers are not seeing any of your hard-earned cash. Dupes — not to be mistaken for knock-offs that copy everything from the logo to the inside label — are a more practical and all-round sensible way to go. I bought my first when I was 18. It lasted me four years and only broke after I wore it in the shower. And these days, British high streets have plenty of dupes. In the past three years, Marks & Spencer, H&M and Mango have all seen huge spikes in sales thanks to their canny copies. They use the same viral, must-have marketing tactics that pricey brands have. Fashion folk will tell you that you are making an investment and buying a 'heritage piece' and will turn their noses up at a high street equivalent. But we've been wearing looks inspired by catwalk designers for decades. If we can buy a bag that's the spitting image of the pricier version, but doesn't mean you have to remortgage, why not? Another commented: 'Thanks Bethany for sharing." "I LOVE them! Gorg!" penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "I need them." "I literally want them in EVERY color!! Ordered the light green and I can't wait,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'I have the black ones and LOVE them!" Fabulous will pay for your exclusive stories.

Dorinda Medley Has Plans for RHONY; But Will Bravo Listen
Season 15 of didn't perform as well as had hoped. This was the second season with the rebooted cast. The ladies didn't gel, and the season was punctuated with vicious fighting. So, if you were feeling nostalgic for the earlier seasons of RHONY, may have the solution. Bravo, are you listening? Dorinda was famously put 'on pause' and left RHONY. She was heartbroken. Now, it looks like the RHONY franchise, along with Real Housewives of New Jersey, are both in danger. When Bravo announced its renewals and new programming, both shows were missing from the list. After last season's ratings debacle, it was clear that RHONY was ready for some possible cast changes. The show was casting new faces, but there is no word on whether the Season 15 cast was booted. Enter Dorinda and her thoughts on RHONY. 'People miss New York and the nostalgia of the old Housewives,' Dorinda told OK! 'I don't want to say anything bad about the girls because they're just different,' she said of the new cast for Season 14 and 15. 'How can you follow with these girls that literally were each together incredible and individually characters?' Meanwhile, Dorinda feels strongly that combining the current cast with some former RHONY cast members would fix the ailing franchise. Dorinda doesn't 'personally understand' the 'absolute resistance' to combining the casts. I think that would be perfection. 'I don't think you have to get rid of all them, and you say, 'I made a mistake.'' Dorinda explained. 'But I do believe there's a world, if not to put us all back together, to be putting us together on some [level].' Plus, Dorinda hasn't ruled out a return to the franchise. Even if the original members were featured less than the new cast, it would be a welcome change. I'd love to see these two worlds collide! Real Housewives of New York is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – SHOULD RHONY MIX CURRENT AND FORMER RHONY CAST MEMBERS? SHOULD DORINDA RETURN?

Luann de Lesseps Reacts to RHONY Pause
fans were dealt a blow when they learned the show was paused. In 2022, RHONY debuted an all-new cast, but the fan consensus seemed to be that the new co-stars didn't gel. Meanwhile, New York Housewives fans were left wondering what was going on with the series. Now, RHONY alum has weighed in on the pause situation. When Bravo announced its renewals for existing shows, both RHONY and Real Housewives of New Jersey were missing from the list. While the show hasn't been canceled, it is being paused until Bravo can decide how to handle the once fan-favorite franchise. Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea Instagram showed memes of the castmate's faces along with the caption, 'RHONY is cancelled.' Naturally, Luann took to the comments to share her opinion. And if you expected a bittersweet post about her history on RHONY, you were bound for disappointment. 'How could you do this to me. Question Mark,' she wrote. Of course, this is one of Luann's iconic catchphrases from the show. During Season 8, Luann created the phrase while leaving a text-to-speak message for Tom D'Agostino, her fiancé at the time. Fans were quick to praise Luann's hilarious comment. 'I love that you have the best sense of humor!' one user wrote. Another fan commented, 'The queen on rhony.' Meanwhile, RHONY alum Dorinda Medley is no stranger to pauses. She shared her ideas to save the show just before news of the show's pause broke. 'People miss New York and the nostalgia of the old Housewives,' Dorinda stated. She suggested bringing back some of the original faces to interact with the new cast as a win-win for viewers. Hopefully, this is just a pause for RHONY, and Bravo will come up with a winning formula to bring the franchise back to its glory days. Real Housewives of New York is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF LUANN'S COMMENT? DO YOU THINK THAT BRAVO WILL CANCEL RHONY?

Andy Cohen shuts down rumors: The Real Housewives of New York City isn't going anywhere
The Real Housewives of New York City loyalists can all exhale—one way or the other. That's because, according to exec producer Andy Cohen , the hit Bravo franchise is not leaving anywhere. On May 13 during an appearance on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live, the 56-year-old Bravo leader quashed the swirling speculation that New York City's version of the reality show had been canceled. Setting the record straight, Cohen stated, "I don't know how else to say it, we are between seasons on the Housewives." He continued to say that the casting is already in full swing. "Last week when I was here, Bravo execs sat down with 10 possible new Real Housewives of New York. This is referred to as the casting process between seasons and it's well underway. That's why nothing has been announced." Though there were reports speculating cancellation, Cohen waved the rumors away as "really odd," reiterating that the show is merely in transition. "It just keeps going on and on. There you go," he concluded, closing down speculation. After a bumpy 13th season, Bravo took a leap of faith early in 2022 and relaunched RHONY with all-new cast members. Fans got to know Brynn Whitfield, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank, Ubah Hassan, and Sai De Silva, and Racquel Chevremont was going to join up for season 15. Although the reboot introduced fresh vision and cool style, the new cast drew criticism for appearing to lack natural chemistry.

"I think the group dynamic is a little bit of a challenge this season. The rap on the group in Season 1 was, 'Oh, there's not a lot of history there.'" But Cohen is positive that the cast has grown. "They spend a lot of time together and they are a strong group," he said. "I believe greatly in this group of women. I think they're aspirational. I think they're entertaining to watch. I think the clothes and the access to a new New York is all we wanted it to be."

Bravo Fans Furious With Ramona Singer For Branding Daniel Penny A 'Hero'
Many Bravo viewers are used to Ramona Singer being in hot water, but this time, she may have gone too far for people's liking. On social media, "Real Housewives of New York" fans have been sharing their unfiltered thoughts about Ramona Singer's most recent Instagram post, in which she posed for a picture with Daniel Penny, a man who was acquitted of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide charges in December 2024. Singer, who starred in the original production of "RHONY" from 2008 to 2021, shocked the Bravo community when she uploaded a (now-deleted) picture of herself next to Penny on Instagram. "So proud [of] Daniel Penny!!" she wrote. "#Apennysaved #hero." For those unfamiliar with Penny, the U.S. Marine veteran garnered national attention following an incident on May 1, 2023, when he restrained a homeless man on a New York subway in a chokehold, ultimately leading to the man's death. The case sparked widespread debate, with many labeling Penny a hero, while others felt he used excessive force. He was charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, but was acquitted of all criminal charges in December 2024. Many of Singer's followers commented on her post, slamming her for standing by Penny's side. "Literally murdered another human being in cold blood," someone wrote. "But go off." "Just wear the white hood in public at this point, Ramona," a second user wrote. "Go for it." A third poster questioned what Singer was proud of, adding, "For getting away with murder?" "I always knew your politics were awful, but this is a new low," someone else wrote. Outsiders weren't the only ones voicing their opinion. Preston Mitchum, from the now-canceled "Summer House: Martha's Vineyard," also condemned Singer's "disgusting" behavior. "A picture going around where Ramona Singer is standing next to a Daniel Penny, a white man who killed a neurodiverse Black man, and was found 'not guilty,'" he wrote. "Dorinda is in the comments saying how beautiful she looks," he added. "Some white women get away with anything they want, no matter how disgusting. And networks like them and double their rates." Singer's post isn't the first time the reality star has been under fire for allegedly reckless or offensive behavior. In 2021, news broke that Bravo had conducted an internal investigation during season 13 of "RHONY" after a Black cast member, Eboni K. Williams, alleged that Singer used racist language. "There was a complaint made between Eboni K. Williams and Ramona Singer," a source told PEOPLE at the time. "Cast and members of the production were interviewed, but the investigation was closed after nothing substantial was found." Two years later, a Vanity Fair exposé mentioned the previous allegations that Singer used a racial slur on the set of "RHONY." Singer, of course, denied the claim in a statement to Page Six. However, while commenting on the story via text message, she used a variation of the N-word with a reporter. 'And the word I used was 'N-Word', not n-g…' she wrote. Singer was subsequently dropped from the network's massive fan convention, BravoCon, a decision Andy Cohen said was "the right call." Since the racial allegations against Singer surfaced in 2021, Bravo revamped the flagship version of "The Real Housewives of New York," casting a more diverse group of friends. However, after two seasons, it appears their apples have rotted. A recent report from May 9, 2025, indicated that the network was seemingly considering placing "RHONY" on indefinite hiatus after a season of low viewership and disengaged fans. The news also arrived days after Bravo announced renewals of several "Housewives" shows, excluding "RHONJ" and "New York." "We're trying to figure that show out," an insider said about the network's decision. "We want to figure it out. We think there's still life in it." The latest season of the New York iteration of the franchise featured Jenna Lyons, Brynn Whitfield, Ubah Hassan, Sai De Silva, Jessel Taank, Erin Lichy, and Racquel Chevremont.
