Jenna Lyons is making up for her absence from BravoCon. The Real Housewives of New York City actress looked stunning at the 2023 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City on Monday, just days after leaving BravoCon fans wanting more. Lyons maintained loyal to her classic fashion girl look with a well-fitted black suit, accessorised with a lime green bag & white flats. She completed the outfit with her signature frames and a bright red lip for a splash of colour. The RHONY star rose to prominence in the fashion world as the creative director and president of J.Crew. Lyons clothed celebrities like Michelle Obama before departing the firm in 2017. Jenna Lyons has once again demonstrated her effect on the cultural zeitgeist since joining the RHONY group earlier this year.

Lyons has brought her own sense of style to the show, such as when she dared to wear jeans to the RHONY reunion, an event usually calling for gowns. Jenna Lyons captioned an Instagram video of her unique outfit, saying, “Yes, I wore jeans and I’m not sorry.” According to Bravo, Lyons wore a black Saint Laurent jacket, a sheer Thom Browne button-down, and a black Saint Laurent tie with her pants. She completed her look with Dries Van Noten heels, Ultimate Diamond jewelry, and her brown glasses. The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) hosts an annual industry event known as the CFDA Fashion Awards. The star-studded awards show is being hosted this year by Anne Hathaway and includes winners Serena Williams and Gwyneth Paltrow, along with presenters Kim Kardashian and Demi Moore.

Jenna Lyons Did Not Attend BravoCon, However, She Did Make An Appearance At The 2023 CFDA Awards Red Carpet

Jenna Lyons says she had a legitimate reason for missing BravoCon 2023 with her Real Housewives of New York co-stars. Lyons, 55, justified her absence from the CFDA Fashion Awards red carpet to ET’s Rachel Smith, saying she had some personal affairs to attend to. “I had a few things to do,” the clothes designer and entrepreneur explained. “I said some very significant things to do like twiddle my thumbs,” Lyons added with a laugh. In addition to my event, I had some other personal things to attend to.” And I’m planning for — I have to leave tonight, I have a flight to catch, so I couldn’t make it. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out.” “But did you miss being there? The RHONY cast member glanced around and smirked at Smith’s question. Jenna Lyons finished her first season on the show, and there are rumors that she might not come back for the next season.

During the Bravo event in Las Vegas, ET asked Andy Cohen about why Jenna wasn’t there. Many other Housewives were at the event. Andy Cohen said that people shouldn’t be worried about Jenna leaving just because she wasn’t at BravoCon. He said they still have a good relationship with her. He hopes she comes back, and her absence at BravoCon doesn’t mean she’s leaving the show for sure.

Jenna Lyons is still thinking about how her first season on Bravo went. She’s known for her unique style, like wearing a feathery gown at Solange Knowles’ wedding in 2014 and a similar feathered dress at the 2017 CFDA Fashion Awards.
