Season 4 of The Real Housewives of New York started April 7 on Bravo, and all of our favorite girls (sadly minus Bethenny Frankel who got a hubby, baby and her own show) are back. Remember when we first met our fabulous NY ladies? Ramona was wearing tiny minis, Jill was nowhere near the sleek sexpot she is today and The Countess was still dressing like a lady who lunches. Even glamourpuss Sonja Morgan has upped the "wow" in her wardrobe. See how far they have come, stylewise.
About LuAnn de Lesseps: The 45-year-old mother of two started out as an original housewife married to a count, which made her The Countess. Her saying: "I never feel guilty for being privileged."
LuAnn de Lessepes' style: Now divorced from the count, LuAnn has freshened up her classic look by going with more fitted silhouettes (but she never, ever looks tarty like some of the others.) Of all the housewives on all the franchises, she's got the best sense of style, especially when she's donning something statement-making like a headscarf or bold jewelry.
