'RHOSLC' fans fume over 'cheap' Season 4 Reunion outfits, demand Bravo bring back color schemes
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: 'The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' coordinated their snowflakes in style with striking aqua blue ensembles for their Season 4 group portrait.
It was quickly criticized, though, by those who thought the reunion looks were more "Mormon-like."
When Bravo unveils new reunion outfits, it's always a special event. Fans get to cheer on the season's greatest clothes while mocking those who didn't comprehend the job.

Fans have pointed out a distinct lack of uniformity in the costume theme during recent reunions. The most recent example would be the reunion of 'The Real Housewives of New York' Season 14.
With the 'RHOSLC' Season 4 reunion quickly approaching, the looks were certain to make the rounds. The cast has been pondering this since the reunion concluded filming a couple of weeks ago.
Bravo shared the gowns the 'RHOSLC' group wore to shoot their Season 4 reunion on December 7.
Lisa Barlow wore a gray gown with an exposed torso that was held together by three round rings.
Mary Cosby was dressed in a long-sleeved royal blue gown with silver and pearl bracelets. She described her outfit as "simple but classy."
Monica Garcia wore an emerald dress with a high split that exposed her left leg and emerald heels. She told Bravo that she was inspired by "Bermuda ocean color inspo."
Heather Gay wore a ruffled pale orange/salmon dress with only one shoulder strap on the left side. Angie Katsanevas was dressed to the thighs in a deep-cut scarlet gown with transparent fabric across her left hip and stomach.
Meredith Marks was also dressed in red, sporting a deep-cut dress with long sleeves and a floor-length hem. She also had her own jewelry line.
Finally, Whitney Rose wore a yellow dress with a hem that reached her knees. The upper half was decorated with an open floral motif. Whitney drew inspiration for the style from Bermuda's "stories of sunken ships and hidden treasures."

Users on Instagram took a very close look at the reunion outfits and wondered, "IS THIS MORMON PROM?" Another user chimed in, "Say what you want but at least Atlanta always understand a cohesive assignment."
One user sighed, "This might be the biggest reunion look letdown in history." A fourth user asked, "Why do the white casts never color coordinate like Potomac, MIA, ATL. Always a let down."
Others wrote, "It’s like….its 2007 and they’re all running to LVLX or Wet Seal for a cheap “sexy” dress for the club that same night….." While another argued, "Can we bring back color schemes/ themes???"
One person noted, "There is no safe space for eyes here omg." "Why is there never a color theme for theirs? It's a mess!" wrote another.

'RHOSLC's Meredith Marks previews tense Season 4 Reunion
Meredith showed up to the Season 4 reunion of 'RHOSLC' with notes. Notes on fourteen pages.
"There are still a lot of unanswered questions for me," the original snowflake admitted in the recently filmed all-cast sit-down special for ET.
She said, "There's a lot that goes on in these next several weeks that you'll see that unfold, and there were a lot of issues going into reunion, so I didn't really go in anticipating that I would come out covering the full 14 pages of typed notes that I had, so we still have stuff to address, which, you know, makes for a next year..."
Meredith claimed she could have arrived with "2,000 pages" of notes and still not been prepared for everything that happened that day when the bulk of the cast saw Monica for the first time since production concluded earlier this year.
The newbie is at odds with practically every woman in the cast for an unspecified reason, which is played out on the currently aired cast vacation to Bermuda.
"There is a lot that goes down in Bermuda, but overall, it would probably be Monica [who's most responsible]," she sid. She won't confirm or deny if Heather's season-opening phone conversation -- a flashback to the trip in which the Beauty Lab + Laser owner claims she's "trembling" after discovering "devastating news" -- is about Monica.
"That call was a big deal, I think, for all the other women -- probably beyond shocking," Meredith clarified.
She continued, "I had some inkling about some issues prior to that. There were certain things I found out actually, like, 10 days before I left to Bermuda, and then I learned a little bit more closer and closer, so I was shocked -- and I was probably the least surprised of anyone, because I did have some information going into it."
Meredith added that "some pretty big issues" have yet to be handled, making the season 4 ensemble's return for season 5 "difficult," but not impossible.
It doesn't help that Heather and Monica are now embroiled in a court struggle over alleged unpaid fees for services given at Heather's beauty spa.
Monica sued in response, saying that she received shoddy service at the firm.
"She did choose to fight it, as opposed to saying, 'Hey, I screwed up. Here you go, let's end this,'" Meredith remarked, "So, yeah, that has a significance to it for sure."
Andy Cohen says 'RHOSLC' Season 4 Reunion was 'a lot'
Andy Cohen has stated that fans of 'RHOSLC' will be in for a treat during the season 4 reunion. Following the completion of filming, the host turned to Instagram Stories to say that the reunion was "killer."
"We just wrapped. Daddy needs a drink!" Andy joked, slapping a 9.25 pm time stamp over the Story.
He then added, "Two drinks," in response to someone off-camera. That was a lot. Those f*****g dark and stormies from Bermuda were not it."
The 'Watch What Happens Live' host went on to say that the shooting had taken so long that he was late seeing his parents.
Whitney Rose on 'thin ice' with Monica Garcia after 'RHOSLC' Season 4 Reunion
Whitney and Andy briefly discussed the 'RHOSLC' reunion on a 'WWHL' broadcast. Andy remarked, "It was really intense." The two hadn't seen each other since the reconnection.
Whitney concurred, adding, "I'm still digesting it," and Andy agreed.
In terms of other potential reunion hints, Andy asked Whitney where she stands with Monica right now. "After [the] reunion, I was hopeful that I could get an understanding and some answers," Whitney stated, "But I feel like I got the exact opposite."
She said, "So, today, we're on ice."
